    does anyone know how to find out what is wrong with my laptop

    I have run full in depth scans from antivirus, trouble shooted, defragged, deleted all new downloaded items (uninstalled aswell), tried fixing it with everything i can

    and my laptop is running uber slow and crashes almost constantly

    If you can wipe the laptop and reinstall your OS this will eliminate any software issues being the cause of crashes, if that does not fix, you will need to run some mem and cpu test software as it may be a hardware issue.

    I assume ŷou run Windows, if so grab Malwarebytes anti malware software, just Google malwarebytes, the free version they offer is fine, then run a full scan on your laptop.

    I had the same problem with my old laptop, it would crash constantly (Especially when i run a game) and was always slow, I tried norton, hundreds of other anti viruses, reinstalling/updating drivers and cards & even wiped everything and reinstalled my os, nothing worked. My only solution was to buy another laptop, lol.

    I actually use microsoft security essentials as my antivirus... It's free and usually catches virus and spyware that other programs don't.
