I have a problem that when I view any videos online, it plays and gets stuck. Same thing happens when i play games. I have installed flash player, directx etc…I even formatted my computer,even formatting didn’t solve it. – Nandu

Fix:

The problem of online videos getting stuck is because of the Slow Internet connection in most of the cases. It can also be because of high CPU usage. As you mentioned that the games also get stuck, so I would advice you to check the CPU usage with task manager and see if some process is taking too much CPU. Follow the below steps :

1. Check and clean some startup tasks, see this tutorial – Computer is too slow at start-up

2. Install latest version of graphics drivers, see this tutorial – Graphics Problem While Watching Movies and Playing Games

3. If there CPU usage it too high, see this tutorial to fix it – CPU usage is 100 % 

If all this does not solve your problem, test your internet speed and upgrade your computer’s RAM

Trouble 5 :

I have performance problems in my laptop. My laptop is very slow, it takes a long time opening applications. – Venkatesh

Fix:

This is a clear indication that the graphics the game is using are beyond the capability of your computer’s graphics card or chipset. In such a case, try to reduce the graphics quality in game settings and options. Also turn off un-necessary applications before starting the game.

“My PC monitor used to have 32-bit color quality at 1024×768 pixels. Then one time, the screen appeared to be bleeding. Large red globs rained down on the screen. After that, the best I could get was 800×600 resolution and 16-bit color.”

This is not unusual to get such type of problem. I also faced such a problem when I installed a new game on my desktop. After I launched the game, the display resolution was degraded and remained like that.

Why display resolution gets affected ?

The most common reason for display resolution reduction / degradation is corruption of display driver files by some application or game. Sometimes drivers may get corrupt due to a corruption of drive area which stores the drivers.

Lets see how to fix it.

Fix:

Fix is rather simple, just un-install the previously installed display driver / graphics card driver and install it again. Make sure that you have latest version of display drivers / graphic drivers available. Also update the DirectX version for better graphics experience.

Also you can see this post relating to graphics problem for reference.

After you have installed the drivers, restart your computer. The trouble is fixed.
