  • 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.

    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.

  • Freezing and slow: would not update Bios using Windows 7? Could not find a...

    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.

  • My 2013 series MacBook Air hot and slow or freezes when I'm on Facebook or Tumblr. In addition, the battery begins to drain. Why?

    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.

  • laptop slow, freezes and "unresponsive".

    Hi my laptop with Vista home premium, is very slow, continually freeze and "does not" to the point where it is almost impossible to use. I followed responses to similar issues dealt with on this forum and have run the sfc/scannow in cmd. It made me know that there was corrupt or damaged files, but when I try to analyze the entries in log file the program Checker (SFC.exe) Microsoft Windows resources, I am informed, I don't have permission to open the newspapers, regardless of how I try to "administrator." This mean the end of this pc?

    Hello

    Many files that SFC cannot resolve are not important.

    Start - type in the search box-> find CMD in top - click right on - RUN AS ADMIN

    put the command from below (copy and paste) in this box and her and then press ENTER.

    findstr/c: "[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > sfcdetails.txt

    who creates the sfcdetails.txt file in the folder that you are in when you run it.

    So if you're in C:\Windows\System32 > then you will need to look in that folder for the file.

    You can read the newspaper/txt files easier if you right click on Notepad or Wordpad then RUN AS ADMIN - then

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    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
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    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
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    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
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    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 memory

    I m not 100% sure if the problem is related to the failure of the memory but it s not a bad idea to test.

    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:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

     

    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

    Open event viewer

    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

  • 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!
