COMPUTER SLOW CLOSE

I HAVE PROBLEMS SHUUTIG MY PC DOWN. IS TOO SLOW. WHAT DO I DO?

Hello DAMARYS,.

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

There are several reasons why Vista runs slowly or is slow to stop.

1. the machine responds that the minimum hardware requirements

2. not all drivers are up-to-date

3. problems with standby and hibernation. It was SP1 updates to help with known issues.

To resolve these problems, make sure you have more than the minimum requirements for your system. I would go by the recommended intakes. Your system must have the minimum hardware requirements: CPU - 1.7 GHz, RAM - 1 GB graphics card - 128 MB (256 copies) and space - 80 GB of disk.

I did not what are the specs of your system, but go to your computer manufacturer and make sure all your drivers are up-to-date. Or go to Windows Update and check to see if there are updates for one of your devices.

There is an update that improves the performance and reliability of Vista SP1.

I've included the URL for the update below:

If please post again and let us know if these measures have helped or if you need more help.

    Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on more than 48 hours ago.

    You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

    A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

  • Why my computer slows down

    09 August to the a few weeks ago, I had a modem for internet on my computer. As we know, dialup is very slow. But a few weeks ago I had my digital internet on and things have accelerated. But I'm having a problem with some Web pages. It seems that whenever I try to open more than 1 page, or I come to a page that has a lot of objects in motion on it, everything slows to a crawl. I used to now have this problem when I had internet faster before. I downloaded the latest versions of Adobe Flash player, shockwave last, more recent readers Real and Quicktime, and yet my computer slows down. I need to update any other thing or what? Or I did my updates get corrupted when I had access to remote and if yes, how to say? Thank you

    Hi miles,

    I want to start by saying that all the options of the Internet high speed are not equal. You could see the right speed for the connection you have.

    But... There are a few things we can look at to make sure that your system runs as quickly as possible. Your system seems to work "eye catching" or "flange" in its use of local emissions? :-)

    Let start by resetting IE to default values and to see where we are.

    Close IE, print or copy these suggestions...
    Click on START and type > Internet options > press enter
    On the general tab, click on delete... > default options should be good for this. Click on delete.
    When you are finished, click the Advanced tab. Under reset Internet Explorer settings section, press the Reset... button.
    In the tab programs, click on Manage Add-ons
    Disable toolbars like MSN or Google. Toolbars are known to cause problems.

    Launch IE and give it a go and let us know what happens. Mark <> Microsoft Partner

  • Computer slows way down after trying to open internet explorer, then will not be closed.

    I look through the posts and have not found someone who had my same problem still. I hope someone can help me. A few weeks ago, I bought a new gateway laptop and it has Windows 7. It works great until a few days ago. Day before yesterday, I tried to open Internet Explorer 8 and I just got a white screen with the border of IE, but it did not open a page or anything like that. I opened the Task Manager and allows to close the IE. I had that happen in the past (in XP) when I tried to open internet until the computer is carried out all the stuff at the start of the loading. Thinking that was the problem, I tried to open IE again. This time I just got the little thing of circle of rotation for a few seconds, as he was trying to do something, but nothing happened. I then tried to restart the computer. He says "disconnect" for a few minutes, then "shutting down" for about half an hour until I finally pressed right on the power button to turn it off. I have it turned on and had the same problem again. I even tried to open another program (Word) to see if it would work. Finally opened, it was ridiculously slow. I checked the process and it is said there are CPU usage 0. However, he acts like something using all the memory. My next step was to remove the battery. I took it out for a few minutes, restarted in safe mode, and the computer works perfectly. I then restarted it regularly. It seemed to work fine. I opened Word again and she appeared right as usual. So then I tried to open internet. I had the same problem as before, and then the computer slowed to a crawl and would not shut down. Thinking maybe it was just IE, I rebooted in safe mode with network and my internet works perfectly. I downloaded Firefox (in safe mode), perhaps hoping it would work. But when I rebooted, I always had the same problem. Everything worked fine when I got it in safe mode, even on the internet. If someone has had this problem before, please help! I just bought the computer a few weeks ago and it's very frustrating.

    Hi tonirose19

    ·         As the problem does not occur in safe mode, try to start the computer to the boot in order to check if any third-party application is causing the problem. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Steps to perform the clean boot and check if you have the problem.

    i. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    III. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    IV. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.

    v. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.

    VI. click OK.

    VII. When you are prompted, click restart.

    VIII. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved check what third party causing the problem, referring to the link given below: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    i. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    III. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    IV. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

    ·         Even run an online scanner to check any malware or virus activity. Links below will help you launch the free scan on the computer.

    This type of issue was aired several times in this Forum.

    My computer is a Presario CQ5115uk and has three USB ports

    external hard drives connected and installed. 1 320 GB, 1.  1 TB

    and 1.  2 TB.

    All start files and programs have been checked and, where

    appropriate, arrested.

    The computer takes more than a minute to complete closing down

    Windows 7.

    Remember, the computer began to increase the time required

    close, after that 2 TB external USB has been adjusted. Of course, the

    farm pilot LED on to Player 2 is the last to blink before the computer

    downwards. The drive is connected using a carousel four USB connection.

    à la back of the computer USB, the other two disks directly to the USBs

    mounted in front of the Computer CQ5115uk.

    Suggestions for a solution will certainly the most appreciated.  

    Still to learn, thanks for your help.

  • hpC309a-computer slows to a crawl after the restart of the impression must each time

    I don't know much about computers, my husband installed the wireless c309a.  The printer seems to work very well even though I have not tried the scannner, but after printing a document, my computer is very slow.  Opening a document may take a few minutes.  The internet is too slow.  I get the error messages often on the internal memory is too low.  I have to reboot to get it to normal and can not keep the printer.  Restart takes about 20 minutes for all the error messages which are erect and things are difficult to close.  Help - I'm a real novice computer, but I know that the problem is the printer / wireless.  I had to uninstall it and reinstall, but that doesn't seem to help.

    It is a program that runs in the background that monitors your printer use (always).  It can severely degrade the performance of your computer, especially if you have very little RAM.

    Go to start, Control Panel, add/remove programs.

    Select the HP Customer Participation program and uninstall it.

    Restart your computer.

    To find out how much RAM you have, click Start, right-click computer, and select Properties.

    On this page, it will tell you how much RAM you have.  512 MB is the minimum, one less is good, too little.

    My laptop came with 2 x 256 MB of ram. I bought 2 x 1 GB ULTRA of Tiger Direct. My computer is slower than before, so I went back to them. Should I buy memory Kingston as suggested by Toshiba? Should it make a difference?

    Hello

    In my opinion you shouldn't t buy any bars of memory without name because for the most part the performance of the memory are not good.
    You should always use the modules of memory recommended by Toshiba.
    Kingston memory modules are very nice with good performance.

  • all sudden yesterday afternoon my computer slowed down like a snail.

    yesterday computer suddenly slowed down and couldn't do anything.  I had a quick scan it showed nothing wrong, so I have the disc cleaner and last night

    I've done a disk defrag it is better this morning, but not back to normal.  At least I could get on IE

    Hi Beverly,.

    Try a system restore BEFORE it starts and see if that returns things to normal and eliminates the problem. If the first attempt fails, try again using a restore point earlier. If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, see:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, see:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html.

    If this does not work, we will check your system and hard disk for corruption files and test your hard disk and RAM to make sure they work properly.  Follow these steps:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files. If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228).

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    To test your hard drive, try HD diagnosis (http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html) or this test: hard drive diagnostics tools and utilities (storage) - Corp of TACKtech (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287).  If it fails the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.

    You can also test your RAM to http://www.memtest.org/.  Here are the additional instructions that can help: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html.  If it fails, test each piece individually to find those who are bad and replace.  If it passes, the RAM is probably OK.

    If the above does not help identify or resolve the problem (including the verification of previously suggested by the Cyber malware), then post back with the results of what you have tried and as much detail as you can provide (such as your version of Windows and other information on your system) and we will deepen the problem to find the cause and a solution and so that I could provide some of these alternatives and the procedures now, I don't want to overwhelm you with options at this stage (and these results could help refine what to try).

    Good luck!

  • computer slow and freezes

    My computer became very slow start.  After the screen saver has been for a while, it hangs and I have to unplug it to stop it.  Sometimes when I click on an icon on my quick launch need me somewhere else.  This happened about a week

    Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

    1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

    2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

    4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

    5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

    For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
    The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

    For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

    6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

    7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

    8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode (IDE only - not applicable for disks SATA drives). It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information -http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

    If the hotfix registry PIO only 'glue' (or you have a SATA drive), the drive is probably faulty and needs to be tested.
