Hello, I have an HP laptop 250GB, (sticker saying intel CORE i5 inside) that is now practically un-usable, virtually every action gets a Firefox is not responding, the cursor is slow to respond and keeps dropping and then when a page eventually opens, when I try to use the cursor the page disappears. I am not good with computer terminology and just want to use the basics. After approx 2 years from purchase and the slowness, I went back to an old laptop at the beginning of 2020 which I have very little trouble with, but it is failing slowly and have been trying to get the newer one going again, but I get so frustrated with the waiting and mostly get nothing done. I don't know what else to add. I gave up paying for service, I am just told it should not be that slow even right from new. I knew that already. My son visited at Christmas and said the processor is running at 100% all the time. Thought it maybe a faulty processor. Ian
