Why is it so slow? 8GB Ram

I have a Dell Inspiron recently reset with Windows 7 Ultimate w/ 8GB of RAM Core i5 and DirectX11.... I have Intel graphics so it seems... This laptop has a very hard time playing 3D graphic games such as Minecraft, Beamng.drive, SpinTires, etc. When playing Minecraft I am using 7.50 gb of RAM. With my other laptop that has 4gb of ram core i3 I run it with 3.75gb of ram and runs so much smoother and faster. So I guess I am asking why this thing is such a piece of junk despite the fact of it being 5 years old. Please have answers (Yes, all drivers are up to date.) This is very frustrating for me and some help would be amazing....

Try downloading a system monitoring program like fanspeed or hwmonitor and take a look at your CPU temperatures. The CPU could be throttling itself because of overheating. 80c is about as high as it should ever get

I downloaded hwmonitor, and it said they are running around 30-50c. Now I guess my next question could be, that I know the battery is completely shot in this thing and I am not using an original Dell charger although it is the recommended wattage for the pc. Would that be the culprit?

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

30 to 50c? Is that under a high load though? You want to stress the pretty well and look at the temperature then. What are your power management settings? Battery life or performance?

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

The battery mode is on Performance and I just ran such a high load all the programs stopped responding but I was able to see that the Temp. was at a max and not budging above 61C That was running, Steam game, SpinTires, and a Minecraft Multiplayer modpack. All of these maxed out my CPU at 100% and my RAM was left at 85%

So another guy did an answer and I did what he said, could you look at what he and I said down below and give me some input?

The games most likely auto-detected your hardware and set your Graphics level to the highest it thinks you can run them. Try turning your graphics down a level or two. Disabling AA (Anti Aliasing) can also do wonders.

If that doesn't work, you may have to many programs running in the background. Try a clean boot.

So if I was to purchase a new battery nothing would happen I would just be able to unplug it ? Lol

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

It wouldn't make it faster?Cause then what if it would think it could use more of something because it thinks it has the power to run that something

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

Also I have already tried dumbing down the graphics.... Nothing

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

I did the clean slate boot thing and it seems to run a tiny bit faster but almost not noticable...
