computer laptop HP compaq 6730 b freezes and slows down
I have a laptop hp compaq 6730 b.
Since a few days, I realized when I plug to charge my cell phone, it freezes finally and slows down.
The CPU usage suddenly increases.
What should I do?
help please...
Thank you
It works ok with only the power adapter is plugged in and the battery out of the laptop? The battery charge ok if the laptop is turned off? The laptop works for a long time reasonable with just the battery? I've seen this kind of problem with a Toshiba machine that used a NEC/CATHERINE 0E128 Proadlizer high switching frequency DC/DC Converter output capacitor. I doubt that your computer has this chip but the problem and the function are similar. It is a device surface and can cause the laptop to have a problem with the battery and the power adapter plugged in at the same time. Many times this you will also charge the battery when the computer is turned off, but not when it is turned on. Sometimes it will not allow your to run Notepad with only the attached power adapter and the battery removed. Just to think.

Hello
I suggest always back up your personal files, etc. before you try the following procedure.
Shut down the laptop. Tap away at f10 you start Notepad to open the menu of the bios. Under Advanced Options or diagnosis tab, you will find the possibility to run tests on the hard drive and memory. Post back with the details of any error message.
If the criteria above, try the following.
In the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator". In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.
sfc/scannow (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)
Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.
Then, click on the Start Menu, click computer, left click Local disk C once to highlight, right-click Local disk C and select Properties. Click the Tools tab and then click on the button "check the drive for errors. In the next window make sure that both boxes are checked, then click Start. Right plan the audit on the next reboot of the system, and then restart the laptop - this process can take several hours before the load in Windows.
Kind regards

I had problems with horrible or recurring virus on my HP Pavilion 061 (RK551AA-ABAa1648x) so I installed Windows 7 32 bit. The system is now incompatible: it runs slowly, often hangs and can be difficult to start. I tried a BIOS updated, but it does not exist? This seems strange - my current version is 3.06 14/07/2006. I updated the NVIDIA chipset driver. I intend to install 2 GB of additional RAM. Then it is true that it is not a BIOS available updated? All suggested fixes?
I suggest that you back up your data and make a complete reformat of your hard drive. Then re - install W7.

Whenever I'm on Facebook or Tumblr, my MacBook freezes and runs hot and slow, eventually freezing. He also began to overheat, with maximum speed cooling fan and battery drainage. This only happens when I'm on these two sites since it rolls when they are not open. There is no problem in loading the computer or using other programs and Web sites.
These issues have started only very recently, in the last week or so. What is strange is that for a number of programs or open tabs does not seem to cause problems, but once I open Facebook or Tumblr, the computer becomes overloaded (even if there are no other programs running outside of Safari and they are only two tabs open). Even YouTube does not cause the same effect.
Help is very appreciated!
MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Hey there!
What browser do you use? I had some problems of my own with Tumblr, Google Chrome, and power draining eventually led me to dump Chrome when I realized it was hogging all my resources. I recommend also to configure tumblr to show you your dashboard in the pages of 10 to 15 positions rather than scroll without end - in this way, he does try to keep everything loaded at the same time.
You can also see your Mac activity monitor while you use these sites to get a better idea of how the power of the computer's processor and RAM are handling activity.

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update

Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral

BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as

Equium A100-306 freezes and crashes
My laptop used to freeze and hang, I did windows recovery and reinstall windows for 2 times. At present, the problems are:
The system is very slow, takes forever to come.
When I use voice chat, laptop freezes and crashes.
Please give me an advise what I need to do.
Hello
You know, it's not always easy to tell what could be the problem, but to me it looks a little to a hardware malfunction you test the memory of notebooks?
I know that two very nice memory free test utilities:
1.) MemTest
2.) Memtest86 +.Google a bit on the net and download free apps.
Start the diagnostic test and to check the main memoryI m not 100% sure if the problem is related to the failure of the memory but it s not a bad idea to test.

Computer keeps freeze and crash
My computer was hit repeatedly by viruses. Whenever a Microsoft technician was necessary to help solve the problem. Now it freezes and then restarts. It is absolutely not stable. What can be done to help me solve this problem? I have to uninstall and reinstall Windows Vista?
Thank you

Hi DepoeBayRup,
Resettlement is a last resort; There are many steps that can be tried to remedy this problem:
Method 1: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:
Method 2: Run the fixit available in the link below and check if that makes a difference
Difficulty of Windows system performance slow computer problems
Method 3: Run the disk check to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.
a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.
b. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.
Now, type chkdsk/r
Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.
Method 4: Try to disable the automatic restart of the menu advanced startup options and then check if Windows throws up of any error message and let me know. See the link below to do this:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
Method 5: check the logs in Event Viewer for more information on this issue and let me know
What are the information in event logs? (Event Viewer)
Note: Programs on the computer and the data will be lost when a new installation is performed. Data backup before performing any Installation windows

Crashing, freezing and 100% use disk
Hello
I had my laptop for a little over 2 years and use it on a daily basis, with only the battery being replaced in its lifetime.
Recently my drive CPU was at 100% usage causing accidents, freezes and finally the frustration as well as downloads ot n9 being over as steam (games app) they will get is 99 to 100% but will not end (even with other downloads in college almost impossible to do work)
It was with 10 windows, making me think it was a virus, AUG, McAfee and windows Defender does not pick up anything.
I googled online answers and found that he had with to to do with the 'notifications '. It fell from 100 to less than 10% CPU
But as soon as a program was loaded (Word, excess, explorer, chrome and steam ect.) He was going back to almost 100% with crashing and freezing. As such, I disassembled my laptop and cleaned the fan thinking that it was over heating (who she was quiet hot and dusty)
Does the laptop a lot cooler but does not download, crashes and freezes.
So I did a reset to windows 8 (I got a free upgrade to 8 8.1)
It worked, without accidents or the problem all thinking it was all gone, I discovered that I needed to update my laptop before windows 8.1 would be compatible for download, so 179 updates needed doing and 4 optional updates, I made these and it took many hours (combined with redownloading steam and some games that I used to have here)
It all worked very well and more all night was good, but I turned off my cell phone after update and now it's back for its slowness, crashing and take a long time to load.
So now that my laptop is back to Windows 8 rather than 10 and now hangs, freezes.
And help would be useful, failing that I will take in a computer scientist to fix
Features of the laptop:
Processor AMD A6 2.0ghz
2 x 4 GB ram

Freezes and restarts on 2015 5K running El Capitan iMac and am ready to freak me out
Hi guys,.
If I posted my check and reports being panic, could someone tell me what caused random freezes and restarts on my iMac 5 K - ish, El Capitan running? I am a designer/Retoucher and I am in the middle of a big job, of course.
He went on and off for a few months. I have cleared my startup disk and played fresh OS installs (didn't even use Migration Assistant just to be safe), three times. I installed apps one at a time try to refine what is the cause but could not.
At first I thought it was my mouse Logitech G502 because when I went to an old mouse for a few weeks the problem has disappeared. But yesterday, listening to iTunes via Airplay and working in InDesign, the system froze again.
I wonder if she might be SoftRAID(4) and/or my two RAIDs of 4 external ThunderBay?
Thanks in advance!
