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.
Youtube/instagram combined with whatever else you were doing probably made it worse.

If Youtube/IG is all you're using, it's only a matter of time. Might not happen as fast but it will.

Youtube was working fine for like the 40 minutes when I cut the computer on and then in like the last hour it it's been loading real slow and not loading at all when I've tried to watch videos on youtube.

The computer I got is new, just got it last night
Is there something I need to disable for the videos to play?
Respectfully, take that bullshyt back to Walmart, save some more chips, and buy a good computer.

I never, never recommend Chromebooks, but for your situation, I think you might want to check some out.

cnet gave this an editor's choice, and it's only $350:




If all you do is go on the internet, you should be okay with these limited PCs


Don't most Chromebooks have only 4GB RAM too?

Yeah, but they're not running the same OS. ChromeOS is better suited for lower specs. I dunno, I hate Chromebooks, but I use my pcs for a lot more than surfing the web. OP wants to use Chrome and watch videos. I think a Chromebook might suit him well

If you're on wifi then you might be getting serious path loss or interference depending on what appliances you have and where you live. When I lived in DC there was so much shyt broadcasting on the 2.4GHz band that it was completely unusuable and I needed a repeater to overcome the path loss on 5GHz (the wavelength is shorter so the path loss is higher). There's a long ass list of stuff that can interfere with 2.4GHz:
+ Cellular telephones
+ Microwave ovens
+ Certain shortwave transmitters
+ Weather Radar (this is unlikely but it can happen)

If you're on wired internet I dunno what to tell you breh, might want to get a different PC or switch to a lightweight linux distro since the problem wouldn't have anything to do with your connection* :yeshrug:

Does your wifi network give you the option to switch between 2.4ghz and 5ghz internet connections?
