ok so my laptop is good its just my video card that needs upgrading? I am kind of on a frugal budget being in school and everything, but upgrading my video card would resolve this issue. because as you said i think it is an onboard on lol.i am not too computer savvy though. i will look into some video cards but would probably hold that as a last resort. if it helps though i am willing to buy one :thumbsup:, also if you could say what would be good in a video card... like what am i looking for would be first time upgrading it besides adding ram
