your computer goes crazy, when you play music, it means your CPU usage is maxed out. Hence the LAG.

But you have a dual core, so those issues shouldnt arise.. what programs are you running in th background.

And i wont even stress to mention how important new drivers are, ive seen ppl get new drivers and all problems fixed..

[Matador]

i cant find any new drivers ive searched..... and im only running windows media player or video.google.com...

yeah so first of all ROFL @ japanish


and second
I'm not sure why playing music has much to do with your GFX card however, if you are running too many programs, not enough memory could be your problem. Post your system specs. Guide to finding specs



I'm pretty sure its possible to upgrade laptop video but you have to know what your doing, try googling 'replace laptop video'

Two Points:

A. are you running vista?

Cause vista is known to slow stuff down.

B. are you running alot of applications running?

If you have alot of programs running try to ctrl + alt +del and go to the processes tab and sort by Mem Usage, close the programs that are using the most memory.

nop i dont have vista and when i run my media and ko my cpu usage is 49%

I'm talking memory usage, not CPU usage
