Default laptop plays videos SLOW

well, ive done everything i can do to fix it, so here i am.

i dont want to know a "fix" unless its free, and easy. i want to know if their is a way i can temporarily run my computer to watch a movie. everytime i try it starts out great, then gets slowere and slower and eventually stops w/ a still frame w/ the sound still going. then i have to turn my computer off for a while for it to get back to normal.

but is their a way i can watch a movie by temporarily modifying my computers settings? or would it work if i watched in safe mode? or am i fucked?
