    4620Z is a Socket P machine with a 965 or 960 chipset. The T2250 is a Socket M processor. You cannot use the T2250 in your Acer.

    Reinstall windows would help. Get a new hard drive ( what hard drive do you have? ) Add ram ( how much do you have ) and if your gaming what graphics card do you have ( you cant upgrade it most likely )
