** I'm not technically savvy so please be kind to me*** My BIAB laptop is under performing - it stutters and stops during songs. F12 is my best friend  From reading earlier forum posts, I downloaded & ran Geek Bench, but the results mean nothing to me. Can someone please tell me what the results mean? Apart from BIAB I don't run anything from this laptop - it has no virus protection and limited internet access.
