Need help with my acer laptop!

Ok i have a acer aspire 5100 laptop. It was AMAZING. no freezing, nothing, just pure awesomeness. I sold to my cousin and now i have bought it back, they had freaking game decrypters and crap on it. i went on it played some runescape n stuff but every second it would freeze then unfreeze. i mean like it would run as fast as a brand new computer then start freezing for about 40 seconds. then back to normal, now heres the shocking thing, i REINSTALLED windows got everything downloaded. went on runescape and it did the same thing. If someone could give me a real answer you will get all my vbux and rep+. thanks

Could mean a lot of things:

1. Connection to internet is slow.
2. Viruses, trojans, etc.
3. Too many applications running at once.

EDIT: Just re-read it. Make sure nothing is loose in the computer. My brother had the same problem, and it happened to be that the RAM stick was loose.

Damn that's slow as fuck. And I don't mean like you have six Firefoxes running at once when I say you have too many applications. If you hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE and go to the task manager, click the tab that says "processes". See if there's anything that doesn't belong.

EDIT: And leave the SHITows scene. Move to Linux.

That's just your WiFi rating. So like if you actually had 36 Mbps, then you could go that fast. Mine says 54 Mbps when I only have 1.5 Mbps.

Try what Jordan said and make sure your RAM didn't come lose. Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information

Look at Available Physical Memory. If you have 4 gigs of RAM, make sure it doesn't say anything less like one gig. If it does either the RAM is loose or it's dead.

Then its most likely the ram XD. i do have like 300 mb lulz. because its not only on the internet its just on the desktop playing pinball and crap lol

edit: i checked in system information and it says i have 120.30 mb available physical memory
