Ok so I was being stupid and messed around with this ancient dinosaur of a computer because I was bored and stuff. I goofed around inside because I wanted to see what a computer was like on the inside, plus I've had this potato for well over 5 years. Before I used to be able to run minecraft, no problem at a fairly high FPS with mods (no stuttering, no lag spikes) but when I play on full screen or maximize the window, it lags like crazy. When the window is minimized, it doesn't lag at all. Can anyone give me some troubleshooting methods for this? I just simply refuse to play a game in a minimized window. Please tell me there is something I can do. I don't wanna have to wait for a new computer. And no its not my system specs, because I was able to run minecraft fine before I tampered with the computer. I think i've learned my lesson to be more cautious when I mess with a computer's insides.
Sorry for the title, forgot to finish typing.
TLDR: My computer lags when in fullscreen or when I maximize the window. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the response. I have optifine, have all the settings set to low, and also I lag when I maximize the window too. The only time I don't lag is when the window is extremely small (minimized). I don't think its that the game is too demanding because I was able to play on high settings with no lag before I tampered with my computer. I put everything back and still it's not working right. Also, I have a meter that shows my computer's speed on a scale of 1-100 and it's always between 5 and 10 now, whereas before it was in the 20s.

um never click the fullscreen option instead just double click the window to maximize to your moniters width / height
and for lag maybe optifine and run all settings at low and turn all animations off and run a simple pvp texture pack
