(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi guys i have an ASUS X501A laptop with windows 8 and every while it lags when scrolling through web pages, and it can especially be seen when watching youtube videos.
The video would play, and it would keep playing for 6 seconds and then the video lags for a second but the audio can still be heard, and it continuously does that throughout the video.
Does anyone know if i can stop this lagging/slight freezing by downloading/unistalling anything, or anything like that?
Thanks!

It's bad to have two of them installed, I recommend removing one and then do a full scan.
