HI guys, I am having problems with my 200$ laptop. It has been having problems with blue screen after updating from win 8.1 to win 10. I have found out that applications which need a lot of ram usually cause this problem. So now I am wondering if I need to buy a ram dim of buy a better cpu or do nothing. It has an Intel Celeron N2840 clocked at 2.16Ghz and 2 GB of DDR3 ram. Please help.

What laptop is it? We don't know, what RAM it has and if any of the parts are even replaceable. If they are soldered, you can't do anything.

well, it is from a really bad company in Greece which is unknown to other countries. The company is called Turbo-x. The cpu and ram are replaceable as I was able to remove the cpu and apply better thermal paste and I managed to remove the ram without breaking it too and the computer still works. The ram is DDR3L 1333Mhz from Team group.
