Ways to re-speed up my laptop?

[sjohn]

My laptop has a blu-ray player built in. Its got an AMD Turion 64 X2 dual core mobile thingy, 4GB DDR2...

When I got it, blu-rays ran fine. As did HD video files.

Now however, blu-rays and any video that is 720p or higher stutters and loses sync with the sound making them nigh-unwatchable.

And sometimes the strain of it running a video at all cause the whole thing to shut down.

Any ideas why this is? It was so great when I first got it, but now it's struggling with even HD-ish Youtube vids.

Maybe something is wrong with the monitor. Or maybe your laptop just sucks.

Run the Recovery disc.
Wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything from the factory.
Back to running smoothly.
Windows sucks.
