So I built a computer the specs are not that great, but I have an AMD Anthlon II X2 250 on it. It supposed to be clocked at 3MHz and at times it runs at 3MHz, but most of the time it runs at 780 MHz. Should I over clock or is there a specific reason that its running so slow.

overclocking gpu It is a really bad idea to over clock anything in a laptop. Mainly because it is a closed space that is more compact. So the temp will increase and probably slow your machine down dramatically if not mess it up. It is possible to do it, but you will need a cooling mat for the...

Graphics and bottleneck Everything looks good just make sure to get an extra fan or two plus I recommend buying better memory. Try this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220558

Cpu The sandy bridge i7 is a good cpu, but is it compatible with your motherboard. What is the name of your motherboard? Also you could over-clock your current CPU to make it faster but the temperature would raise as well.

mic are the jack using the same connection. it could be that the wires are messed up or even th whole jack. do you have one that works so you can plug it in place where the old is. if it doesn't work either than it could be the motherboard

Ram The rest of the memory is being used by the hardware itself. So even if you have 4 gigs of ram the parts of the laptop use the remaining ram.

Ssd Solid state drives are much faster than hard drives. They have no mechanical parts so they wont mess up as quickly as hard drives. They use less power than hard drives. They can sustain more force or impact damage. The cons are that they are expensive and are limited on the number of...

Case Post Ignore this post I already chose which one I want.

Temp It all depends on the cooling system that you have. How many fans do you have. Since your country is high in temperature you could buy more fans or use a liquid cooling system. The usual temp that cpu's such as i5/i7 run are stock temp 70 degree Celsius. They could reach up to 85 or 90...
