Pc problems and integrated GPU

Hi I hope you are having a good day.

So I use a Laptop with an Intel integrated GPU.
For the past few months I haven’t been able to play the games I am normally able to play.
the game keeps freezing and it never use to. before this I could play for a good couple of hours without a problem and finish without one.
The top left corner no longer gets as hot as it use to in fact it remains relatively warm. while the fan is running.
Is there a way to check if the integrated GPU is dying. preferably without opening the laptop.

While working on other things such as 3D modeling, image viewing and other common tasks, the laptop tends to

  1. freeze with no response.
    2.displays a program not responding message on the title bar e.g. “Word is not responding”
    3.brings up a small window the with the message “The application is not responding the application may respond again if you wait”
    this windows has options to end a process or cancel and wait for the process to finish.

Around the time the laptop stopped working properly I found two new errors in the event viewer.
1.Custom dynamic linked libraries are being loaded for every application.
2.The object was not found.(HRESULT:0x80041201)(0x80041201)
Occasionally the laptop will take a couple of minutes starting windows, first its the Samsung screen, then a blank screen for a minute or two then,
it displays the starting windows screen text. does that for a while before displaying the Flag. The flag is displayed for a while thereafter another blank screen for about 3 to 4 seconds then the logon screen appears.
Like I mentioned the slow startup occurs at random I can’t figure out what is causing it.

Any Help or Solutions will be greatly appreciated.

the VERY first thing you need to inform us to is
WHAT THE “BLEEP” is the operating system???

Apple ?
BSD ?
Linux ?
Microsoft ?

and WHAT VERSION this unknown OS is

there is a huge difference in windows 98 and 10
and a huge difference in RHEL4 and RHEL 7

No need to be so rude. The operating system is obviously windows, most likely 7 or 8.

here’s the problem

it’s an integrated GPU

meaning that the only VRAM you have is basically 1/3 of your ram

Build a PC it’s not that expensive and it will be worth it in the end

32 bit Windows 7 service pack 1

I would build a PC but I am as broke as broke can get.
I use to use this laptop for gaming and coding. It worked quite well.
I know I should build a PC with better quality but I just can’t afford it.

Just off top of my head.

-Check the power settings, make sure it’s not running in some sort of energy saver mode. Set it to balance, max performance or some custom plan. Sometimes these plans get switched and when they do, your computer isn’t nearly as powerful.

-If that doesn’t work and you don’t find an answer. I would do a clean install of Windows. If that doesn’t work, it’s a hardware problem.
