Dell Latitude E6400 running slow

I have a Dell Latitude E6400 - it has 4 GB of RAM and a processor 2.53 Ghz running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit - how is it is slow? I ran all the troubleshooting I can think, made malware scans, virus scans, and it is still slower than my other laptop that has 1 GB of RAM and a processor 1.73 Ghz - ideas? Thank you!

The problem is that the CPU is overheating and when it the fact that the processor at 800 mhz speed and stay there the CPU goes to 100% usage and the system dies.  I had this problem for 2 years before I understood what it was.  I took off the bottom of the computer (a screw in the middle).  Removed the heatsink to the CPU/GPU and cooling fan.  I have removable fan and removed the therma spent the CPU and the GPU thermal pad.  I have then divide a tube of thermal paste Arctic Silver 5 Radio Shack ($10) and replaced the heat sink and let it heal from one day to the next.  I also bought a block of cooling fan powered to the computer but never needed to use it.  The machine works like a monkey assed stipped running multiple video streams at the same time and cool enough to keep al running stayng.  I was ready to relegate this machine to a storage device, but now it it GREAT.  Good luck

  • Dell Latitude E6400 LCD / LED video screen has partial display of vertical lines

    Hello

    I have a Dell Latitude E6400 on which display LED screen / video shows the stable vertical lines in the right half of the screen (partial view on the left side is good, see photo). I have already tested the external VGA port - it is displayed correctly on an external LCD display. The vertical lines are constant and the same brightness, regardless of the position of the lid of the laptop. This could be a problem with the inverter or the water of the LED screen? Or something else? Thanks in advance for any comments.

    P. S. Please note that glow Golden on the top left of the screen is just a reflection of ambient light.

    It is not the inverter (assuming that the display has a);  who simply controls the backlight.  It may or may not be the cable - it's not likely.  It resembles a billboard damaged.

  • Screen turns black during the installation of Windows 8 on Dell Latitude E6400

    Hello

    I have a Dell Latitude E6400

    The specifications are:

    Intel Centrino 2

    4 GB OF DDR2 RAM

    HARD DRIVE 160 GB

    Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz

    NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M 256 MB DDR2

    I'm doing a clean install of Windows 8 pro 64 bit. The problem is that when I get to the stage where the installation application to connect to a wifi, all of a sudden, the screen goes black and then nothing happens. Sometimes I am able to move on to the next step where the installation process asks if I would like to use express settings or customize it. The same thing happens on this stage too. I could not go any further than this step.

    I tried dozens of times, even tried 2 different iso files and event tried a 32-bit Windows 8.

    Same thing happens evrytime, black screen and then nothing. I wasn't able to find that everything related to the internet.

    One last thing, if it's a problem of display driver, I can't set either because I already formatted my HARD drive.

    Can someone help me please:(c'est vraiment frustrant.)

    Thank you

    Hello

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    I suggest to remove the battery and connect the laptop to AC power and then try to start the computer to see if the problem is with the battery.

  • Latitude E6400, dell: HP officejet 4215 printer does not meet Dell computers

    Dell latitude E6400 window 7 (directly connected to the printer), window of inspiron Dell 8 3520 (wireless), they do not meet the printer. I HP4215 like a printer by default on both computers, but I can't print anything. Please advise! Thank you!

    Hello @azarita and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I understand that you are having problems printing from your system.  I would like to help!

    I would recommend you to do a power reset the printer.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I suggest also download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
