Audio is easy...requires little ram to operate. Video today needs 2 GIGABITS or more for VIDEO. A lot depends in the Motherboard Processor also. If it is old, the main processor is no doubt slow. High speed internet is faster than some computer speeds and thus the computer is trying to buffer (catch up) which causes means conditions to occur. Lag time with Video is one problem. Windows operating system is another. Win 8-10 are ok, but older OS's are slow. THEN we have a Video Card problem. Old cards require new drivers to keep up with changes. Some old Video is slow because the VIDEO RAM is too slow and old. Solution = a New 2018 Computer

all these symptoms can be from ram stick fault, graphic card or graphic section of the mother board or a failing hard drive you will probably have to have it properly diagnosed by a computer repair shop to find out exactly the failing component

When editing the BIOS if you go into the BOOT ORDER menu, it is possible that the network card is not showing as an option. In order to get this option to display, go into the "integrated devices (legacyselect options)" and then select the network interface controller. Edit that even if it is On and change it to On w/PXE. After saving the changes to the BIOS, you need to power the computer off then on and then go into BIOS again, and the "integrated NIC" option should be available in the BOOT ORDER menu. Set this to be the first boot device in order to use PXE.
