Advice Request i can only open 4 tabs on a browser without buffering.

[William2]

I think I paid $580 for this tower. it was new. I bought it from DELL.com.

I checked it for malware with 4 different anti-malwares.

could this be because I have a non gaming graphics card? I have an intel 630 graphics card.

thank you for responding.

When did you buy this computer? Have you read user reviews of this model?

I bought it 5 years ago [I think]. I did not read user reviews of this model. all my computers have been like this. except for 1, which was a less powerful computer.

Maybe you can still find a clue in user reviews of this computer model.

When did these problems start? What did you do just before it started?

Your PC could have bloatware installed that's slowing down the system and hogging resources. Another potential cause is outdated drivers, such as the graphics driver, which can sometimes cause performance issues. Your PC might also be overheating, causing the system to reduce the speed of the CPU and GPU to prevent damage, which would lead to performance drops. Poorly coded browser extensions as already mentioned can also consume a lot of resources, causing slowdowns. It's also possible that there are other applications or background processes running that are consuming resources and slowing down the browser. Lastly, a significant cause of slowdowns could be that your 128 GB SSD is nearly full. If the drive is at its capacity, it can slow down the system significantly.

Troubleshooting your system may involve a range of diagnostic steps. These include, but are not limited to, removing all browser extensions to test for conflicts, verifying your graphics card driver version against your system information, and utilizing a third-party application (Core Temp, Monitor, ect) to monitor PC temperatures during buffering events. Opening Task Manager with your browser running to identify which applications are consuming system resources.

what exactly is bloatware? it says things like dell diagnostics, so I let it on.

where can I get good drivers? or should I get a driver updater? if so, which one?

my SSD is 256 gb. it is 40% full.

where can I get a third-party application (Core Temp, Monitor, etc.) to monitor PC temperatures during buffering events?

To update drivers use Dell's SupportAssist which should have been preinstalled. There's not much need to use other driver updaters.

i buy pre-built PC's. i have a DELL Inspiron, which was the most up to date i5 cpu at the time. it has a core i5 cpu, 9th generation, 12 GB of ram, intel 630 graphics' card, 126 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD.

my PC does that with all browsers. i use a 43" smart tv as my monitor.

what should i buy more power on the part's on the next PC that i buy?

thanks in advance.

You could try to contact Dell about this issue.

Bloatware is extra software that comes already installed on your computer. It's often useless and runs in the background, which slows down your computer and can cause problems like buffering.

The Dell Support Assistant as mentioned is a pre-installed tool on many Dell computers that can automatically scan for, download, and install the latest drivers and firmware updates for your specific system.

all my computers were like this. this computer was like this from the beginning.

If it was always like this, then I'll think it could be some program or extension that you have always used. It is not a driver peculiar to the system, because all your computers were slow.

Eliminiate and test, it may take a few rounds of rebooting and thus time, there is no easy way out. You may have to eliminate a favorite program

It could still be a hardware-related issue. The reason is that all their computers were pre-built, several generations behind current tech, and likely not updated with the latest drivers when they first got them. A combination of older hardware and outdated drivers could easily cause the same performance issue across every machine. Discussions have included a variety of software issues, from bloatware to applications with high resource utilization and problematic extensions.

Dell shipping out systems with old drivers, ok, that's a possibility. Just thought I would add my 2 cents.

Even brand-new computers often need driver updates right out of the box. To solve the problem, it's crucial to check every possible cause, including the drivers, before ruling anything out.

Some users who are more technically inclined prefer to go directly to the manufacturer's website to find and install the latest drivers. However, for your situation, I'd still suggest using the Dell Support Assistant.

i tried this. i still have the same problem. when i try to open a 6th youtube.com tab, it takes a long time to render. it does not completely render.

i set chrome to turn off the memories to inactive tabs.

Internet speed, DNS provider, CPU or RAM reaching 100%, misconfigured page file, browser hardware acceleration, ad blocker, DNS cache, browser cache, corrupted browser profile, and Windows power plan are some of the things that come to mind.

Examine those since they may have an impact on overall performance.

you could try this: download & run this while you are browsing, your issue sounds a little like a resources latency issue, it will display 4 graphs and lots of data, run it for an hour or 2, and then stop it and look at the graphs and report, it should tell you which drivers are bogging down...
