Whats wrong with my laptop? is it the technician's fault, or the manufacturers?

its a hp amd sepron which means its like pentium M.

a friend got it 4 me, and since i was at work i gave it to a hardware technician2 look at it. i pickd it up on monday, and till date (1yr later) i have not bin satisfied with the laptop... its like a Pentium 1 or at best pentium 2 pc.. it hangs 4 no reason, i got no heavy programs on it..infact the heaviest programs on it are microsoft access, and yahoo msgr.

4rm task manager, the processor usage is pretty low, at 30/40% at best, and the paging file (virtual ram) is ALWAYS way beyond the half way mark...at 350MB.. my RAM is 512 sd.

i mean, there should b no reason why it hangs at startup, hangs when u run 3 programs, hangs in d middle of notin.

i have used symantec, norton, sophos, avast, and i'm now windows defender 4rm microsoft, so there could not possibly b a virus or worm

i have also run hp diagnositc programs on it, still too too slow, clumsy, and hangs. my pentium 3 desktop is faster better, etc.

is that technic at fault

You could very well have a mucked up registry due to all these security solutions you have installed and then removed and other software programs removed via add/remove. Plus, removing firewalls and anti-virus solutions via add/remove does not properly remove them, leaving behind huge portions of the program code and really messing up performance. Get this free tool:
