Noob computer help

[LegalizeMeth]

So I bought this new piece of shit $300 Lenovo, and it works ok except certain websites keep freezing up on me and take forever to load (yahoo, fbook). Interestingly,PFA is one of the few sites that actually loads perfectly without really glitching out on me. Any ideas? Other than the obvious one (get a better computer)

There are other websites than PFA?

What browser are you using? OS? Specs on computer?

[LegalizeMeth]

been using chrome and more recently edge, same thing with both. Not sure on specs but guy talked me into this one cause he said it had a better more updated processor. Recently upgraded to windows 10 was previously running 8

Probably not the computer....more likely your internet connection.

Bill Gates quit Microsoft. He knew when to move on.

Lol. Yeah, the internet is your problem Legalizemeth. 2.3 Mbps? I thought my internet was shitty. I average around 19 Mbps.

[gauchojake]

2.3-2.5 is like a bad DSL line. Is that over wifi? Are you paying for the basic 6 mbps package or higher?



Oh also restart and clear cache

This nigga running on that AOL Sapphire edition

Obv you're using a router.

We had this same discussion some months back. Chances are the router is your problem, or you have a shot wireless card. Get an ethernet cable and hardline into your modem and run the speed test again. Report back with results.
