I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. It has only one GB of RAM and I recently was told RAM can't be added to this system. When I watch videos on youtube my computer freezes more than 50% of the time. I have adjusted my screen appearance for max performance, I've tried keeping my browser history clear, I use readyboost. My question is, is there anything else I can do to STOP this freezing problem?
Also, I use internet explorer, comodo dragon, and bing. Do any of the above use less RAM than the others? Are there programs running that I can turn off to lower RAM use? I know 1GB isn't a lot of RAM to work with and since it can't be added, I'm looking for a short cut or two. Can write caching or virtual MEMORY be of any help here? Advice would be appreciated! I have never heard of more RAM solving the problem.
Do you get any error n messages? Check the event log to see if the crash was logged.
Which OS do you use? Is it up to date?
Are you using just one AV program? Which one?
Is this a recent problem?
Have you differently added more hardware?
Are you using third-party software that has not been certified? That includes many common utilities and games you get off the Internet.1G of RAM should be PLENTY for streaming...
Sounds more like a connection issue...that or limited free space on the HDD...
Also you stated you have all vid settings maxxed out...try throttling those back a bit and see if it helps.Quote from: sbreimer on January 07, 2013, 02:30:59 PM
