Question

ASUS Laptop 4 GB RAM and i3 processor won't play videos!

Feb 21, 2016 3:36AM PST

Hi

So I bought this ASUS D550C this summer, and it started by being great for YouTube videos on Google Chrome. Suddenly the videos on YouTube started making noices, and the video was in slowmotion and the fan were always so active and making noices. I changed browser to Firefox and it worked amazing for a while, now I cannot watch a single video if its youtube or a video online, now even if its 144p etc... The fan makes starts working spinning faster and making sounds. I cannot watch a video now and either the videos goes in slowmotion and making stupid noices in my headphones etc...

What do you think is the problem? I don't have alot on my pc, and it has 4 gb ram and i3 processor... which should be more than enough since I had a celeron laptop that worked even better...
