Already it's acting up again :martin:

I never did try any of the things u suggested cause it started working alright but ever since earlier today, I've had to keep restarting it or shutting it down for youtube and instagram to actually load up. Those sites will work just fine sometimes and then outta nowhere they'll have issues loading.

When I'm on the coli, it's just fine outside of loading up pages with instagram pics, sometimes regular pics and youtube links

What the fukk is going on with this damn computer? I just bought this motherfukker:dahell:

Is there anything I need to cut off or some shyt? :why:
Well, try them now. I feel like it might be an adobe flash problem, but it could be anything I guess. Just update everything and see if that helps.

:heh:

Go to My Computer and click what should be "System Properties" somewhere

Though really, specs should be on the box/site you got it from if it's a prebuilt

I tried looking for it and can't even find that. :mjlol:
I'mma get my brother in law to check this shyt out
I'm clueless when it comes to doing even the most basic shyt with computers :francis:

Lawd hammercy :boshdistressed:

I actually forgot an ever quicker method. Just right click My Computer, click properties, and tell us what it says (these are your specs)

I'm almost certain this is Flash and his browser using more memory than his computer has if videos just stop playing correctly after a certain time frame

The Flash bit is 32 bit

I don't know what that means but maybe y'all know?

It does say "The settings to this page are not applicable to Google Chrome or Chromium based browsers

Well, we really need to know your specs.

However, a quick test might be to try out another web browser. Chrome is a resource hog, so try out Firefox and see if you have similar problems. If you don’t have any problems, then you can chalk this up to Chrome being too resource heavy for your pc.

If you do have problems, download the Firefox add on “NoScript”. That will block all run scripts. You’re going to have to read up on NoScript, as it can be confusing to novices. If none of the instructors make sense to you, don’t use it

4GB of RAM aint gon cut it in 2018 outside of the bare minimum of what you want a computer to do breh. Watching HD videos on Youtube will eat that shyt up for dinner, and if you want 60fps? :sheeeeeeeit:

I'd tell you to upgrade, but since it's a prebuilt, you won't know what RAM your motherboard even takes until you take it apart and with your limited knowledge....sorry breh :francis:

RAM prices are pretty ridiculous now as well. You gotta scale your Youtube viewing back a bit. Or at least watch in SD

Daaaaamn, oh ok :ohhh:

So even if I do make the switch to Firefox like @Ciggavelli was telling me and let's say I don't have any problems with that browser, am I still gon have to scale back with viewing?

Another thing too, like when I try to google search on google chrome for anything, like right now, it won't load the page up either. So what's that all about? Same problem as youtube and instagram loading?

It'll load like pages I've been to a lot already tho, The Coli, TMZ, Dailymail etc etc Just not youtube, a new google search, instagram etc etc

I use Firefox and I guarantee you'll have that problem if you don't scale back. It's really beyond a browser issue.

Can't speak on Google search in Chrome since I don't use Chrome..

Oh ok
So lemme ask u this
Does it make sense that the very 1st night I got it, after sometime of getting the computer straight with all the 1st steps to starting it up, I started having that issue with the loading of youtube and instagram?
Then the next 2 days I ain't have no problems at all.
