Acer 5560g freezes

Hey. I'm not the greatest with computers but know the basic stuff, nothing complex like coding and opening up commands with text.

Whenever I close the lid on my Laptop let it sleep for a while I notice when I press enter to resume from that mains screen that it takes maybe 30secs just to load up, before it was always instant. Also my powercord is sort of lose so it goes in and out very fast then I notice that when my power cord comes out that my laptop also freezes for 30secs.

I scan my laptop everyday with AVG and Malwarebyts, I use CCleaner weekly and DeFraggler monthly, unless I download lots of files then I'll scan it and if it goes above 5-6% I do a full scan

I don't download much. The only games I have on here is WoW, RIFT, Path Of Exile, ArcheAge and 2 other small steam games. I don't use Itunes. On the buttom right corner where my clock is I only have up Raptr, AVG, CCleaner and that's it..

It's been doing this for maybe 2 weeks. I I use Windows 7. The only time I update my laptop is when I go to Control Panel and click "Windows Update" and see if there's any.

What's the problem?

Hi. I don't know much about the advanced stuff on computers but I've been doing research and

- Is upgrading free?. Some gaming websites say to upgrade your ios, bios, video card, sound card ect. Is this something I download off the website for free? If it is free does anyone know where I go?

- When playing games, what would be best; (plugged in), Power-saver, Balanced or High Performance. I don't want my laptop to overheat or get hot.

- What are some important programs I should be downloading to help my laptop?. I do daily scans with AVG Free and MalwareBytes, CCleaner, and have my laptop to check for Window Updates every day.

- Is there a way to increase fan speed or no?

- My speakers don't sound loud. I checked the settings and it's all maxed. Did I blow out my speakers?. They're loud when I ahave headphones in

*Important*

- I plan on buying a can of compressed Air to get the dust and stuff from inside my laptop since I'm scared to open it up myself. Is it safe if I use it in the side vent that has a fan?. Will it break my fan or anything?.

I have a Acer Aspire 5560g. That's what it says on the sticker.

Thanks
