I started playing the cool math game "Run 3" at school and I loved it so much I decided to play it at home. But the problem is that, ironically, said flash game runs very slowly on my PC at home than it does on the PC at my school. Furthermore, my PC is specifically a CyberPowerPC Gaming PC, yet it runs like my old laptop at home even though my PC is fairly new (had it for about 8 months). I wonder if CyberPowerPC is just a bad company or if it's just because my PC came from Walmart because my Steam games and Minecraft run only a little better than they did on my laptop... any help and/or suggestions?
 
Wow! I remember playing that game back when I was still in grade school. CyberPowerPC's are computers that usually cut corners, but your computer should definitely be able to play that flash game. Have you tried playing the game on a different website or a different web browser?
 
try using an adblocker? I used to play cool math games in school and the ads seriously slow the game down
 
Check that your GPU is installed and working properly. It could be that it's running off the CPU rather than the GPU. Launch dxdiag from the start menu, go to the Display tab and check that your GPU is detected by the PC. Should look like this. You're looking at the Name or the Chip Type. If it says something like "Intel Integrated Graphics 450" or something like that, try following the steps listed here.
