I have a sony Vaio VpcF131fm, and out of the box it was never fast. I already tried uninstalling must of the software that came with it but it still always fezzes ( i have done a factory restore many times but that dose nothing, I also always notice that the harddrive light seems to always be on, and when audio plays it is sometimes choppy.... Dose anybody have an Idea on what can be wrong.... and If the problem is, that I should Upgrade something in my laptop what should it be? I have 4gb of ram and could buy 8gb, would that help? Or could It be more of a harddrive or proccesor issue? ....*(When the computer fezzes the only things I have open are chrome, Itunes, and word.... but I also use the computer for video editing and the videos appear choppy and I cant have that) ..... Thanks for anybody who can help! (PS This is the first time I used this forum and iam not sure if it is in the right section)
 
When it freezes up, can you access task manager and see if anything is using up all the cpu usage? This could be a ram or hard drive issue as well.
