performance == how much ram do you have?
crashes == check if it's overheating?

Its a terrible laptop!
only 512MB ram.
It seems hot all the time but thats just normal right.....
If i blocked the fans it does then but it does overheat if you block the fans on the laptops i think...?

Thanks for the help though.
I was gonna get a new laptop but now im getting a iphone sooo.

1 gig of RAM (DDR2) for laptops costs around 20 euros.
you'll see major performance improvements.

It shouldn't be hot all the time, try DOWNCLOCKING your gfx chipset with rivatuner. set the clocks back to default when need the gpu powaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Here's a little tip for ya, this is surprisingly effective: clean your fans. When a computer (especially a laptop) has to work harder because of a lack ventilation, you might well see a performance dint. So get a vacuum or whatever, and clean out the fans on your laptop.

Graphics chipset. The set of chips (normally on a graphics card) which deal with, well, graphics.

Post back with results if it works for ya! :D
