update all drivers and disable all prozesses that are not needed. thats all you can do.
as long as you cant tell us what hardware you are using there is little advise that we can give you. but i am impressed that a 150$ laptop even starts.

cpu is like $50, motherboard about the same.

$250 - $275 seems fair with the 260 added in. Shoulld play his games pretty well. Just won't run newer titles.

Okay how about I throw this into the mixture.. I bought an Alienware gaming laptop about 5 months ago off of CL for $150- At first it checked out okay.. the exterior looked/ looks like new, it ran decently browsing the web and playing minimal games like LoL, D2, Runescape.. I decided to factory reset the laptop for a fresh start and upon booting it I had to undergo hours of windows updates.. bad idea, now LoL will lag unless on minimum settings, can't play runescape at all or most games in general.. it generally seemed to have taken a crap after I factory reset it.
Maybe someone can help me look at it? See if there are possible upgrades to help performance?
