@blueberrynad  There is only 33.1 free space on the system device. IMO a 128Gb SSD is not big enough for a gaming computer. This configuration requires constant monitoring to make sure there is enough free space for the operating system on the system drive. Any change (new files, application update, etc) can affect the operating environment. The video driver is not WHQL which means that the driver has not been tested by Microsoft. IMO you will continue to experience issues with lack of free space on the system drive - Windows bloats - that is just what it does and the only solution is to give it run to breath. If you are off loading your applications to a conventional drive then those applications will not get the benefit of the speed of the ssd. So your computer boots a little faster - I'll have another sip of coffee.

    Your PC is below minimum requirements for the game. Too little RAM. You do have 4GB but half are used by the Graphics which means you end up with too little for the game. Your Graphics driver is 3 years old but more importantly you only have half of the dedicated memory required. Upgrading your Graphics driver may help but I doubt it.

        I agree with Jpkarlsen, the laptop is under recommended specs. If you've already tried updating the graphics, turned off Origin in-game and running the game on lowest settings, there may not be much else that can be done.

        It would be a good idea to look into getting a new computer that meets or exceeds the recommended requirements, so you can play the game better.
