Hi,
I have been experiencing problems with my 5 month old laptop, with audio stuttering, mouse lag and freezing. I looked at my task manager and memory usage (RAM) was at 100% so I checked the system on the control panel and it says I only have 873 mb usable of my 16gb of RAM!
This is the first pc I have owned and I could do with some help on sorting this out....
Thanks.

Is that a custom pc or a brand name?

Do you have 32bit or 64 bit windows?

What version of windows are you using?

If 10, go to task manager/performance and click on the memory graph. How much in use and how much available?

Do you have anti virus? if so, run a scan just in case.
