    My mate has one that is even more crippled thanks to the EDS Standard Laptop Build. 8GB of RAM, 8 minutes to boot.

    Well.. you can check this out here: www.seba14.org
    Lot's of "leecher mods" (you get but you don't give)

    You can also try proxies (TOR?) but they will slow you down massively (the free ones at least)..

    OpenVPN, you're set. I get an address (in france for something) through my seedbox that I don't use for torrents that I don't know of.

    Is it an AMD APU?

    also i assume you have gone into power settings and clicked the performance setting?

    What Argar said.

    Also, have task manager running and check it next time your system freezes. It's a good way to find a program that is hogging resources. My sure to click "Show Processes from all users".

    Go to power options and switch to high performance mode if you do not find any suspicious software hogging all the resources.

    Right click on shortcut, troubleshoot compatibility. It should give you the option to pretend to be a different OS.

    Can someone recommend me a decent Headset or a Headphone/Mic combo?
    I will use it mostly for PC gaming, but music as well.

    Has to have:
    -good sound quality
    -decent build quality
    -Comfortable, preferably over ear
    -an affordable price; let's say under 100 bucks/euro's

    I'm not interested in true surround headphones, since they're crap and way overpriced.
    About the virtual surround headphones with their own USB sound card. Don't need that either because I have a separate sound card that can do "Dolby Headphone" just fine and probably better.

    For a Headset I was looking at Razor Charcharias. Corsair 1500 looks good too but it's USB only, so that's not good.
    For a separate headphone/mic combo, I have really no clue about what is decent but affordable.

    I'd appreciate some help.

    Google Chrome doesn't play audio for some reason.

    Back to using FireFox instead.

    yeah i had the same trouble friday night,
    it was a flash plug in conflict.
    Delete the older versions, ususally chrome does this itself, but this time it needs a push along

    Chrome always has some problems. Recently it refused to open up my windows, acting as the adress is incorrect and after 3-4 refreshing it went ok. Did it for week or two and than the problem disappeared. Found out that this problem is happening for years now and Google has no idea why. However it is still better than Firefox which is extremely slow compared to Chrome.

    Aside of the rant, as Argag said, try to reinstall flash, download latest audio drivers, delete cookies and all the standart mumbo-jumbo. If won´t help, reinstall Chrome completely, if that won´t help report the bug and use FF meanwhile.
