How do troubleshoot you a netbook very slow start?

I have a netbook MSI Wind with Windows 7 (ultimate I believe) running on it. This version of Windows is not come installed on it, but my friend installed when I got two or three years ago. He was always running very well until recently.

A month ago, it began to really take a long time to start (about 3 minutes). It gets stuck on the start MSI screen. At first I didn't think he would start for ever, so I opened to look inside the gremlins. I have not found any, but noticed that it start later if I waited long enough. I timed it several times to three minutes.

I already went through a series of steps.

  1. I have disabled all non-essential services and startup applications in MSCONFIG.
  2. I installed an additional 1 GB of RAM I had for this netbook for centuries. I had never found a need to actually, but I thought the RAM might be the problem.
  3. I did a system restore to an earlier point (about a month). Who seem to have a limited effect. That is to say. It starts faster, but then the problem comes back in a day or two.
  4. I downloaded malware (HitmanPro, MalwareBytes and TDSSKiller) detection programs and down them on the computer and let them do their thing. Malware Bytes is always installed, but the free version is now obsolete. I have been told that I shouldn't have installed all three at once, but despite everything, the problem has not disappeared.

Also the fact that the computer starts slowly, since I opened it, my USB ports work still more. I think I broke it. Sometimes they get detected successfully, but often they do not. Major disappointment. I tried to reinstall the drivers several times and has no effect. I'd really like to know some ideas on the restoration of this netbook to feature, it once had. Should I look at the BIOS for the startup problem?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello

Well part of the problem is Windows 7 running above Starter level. Even with the extra "1 GB" RAM, processor, controllers and other material are the stress to their maximum. This will (a) taken with you.

That being said, what kind of file you use (size and location)? Also, how full is your hard drive? Have you run Chkdsk on it? If not, I suggest you do so with the /f switch active (it will correct the errors it finds). He finds?

You mention anti-malware programs, but say nothing about your antivirus protection. The one you use, I recommend a "second opinion" in the form of two online scanners (it comes into conflict with your antivirus program): TrendMicro (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/us/) and ESET (http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/).

Regarding the USB ports, try this Fix It from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Windows_USB_diagnostics .

Try these things now and post back here with your results.

Kind regards

  • How do troubleshoot you a USB virtual COM port?

    Object

    Send orders of Labview to an Arduino board using the Advanced Serial write and Read.VI.

    The problem is that no orders are received by the Arduino.

    However, I can use the Serial Monitor built into the Arduino IDE to send commands to the Arduino and get the required result.

    I checked baud rate, the designation of COM port and the command is a simple as string 600,0.  The VI shows no error message.

    So, I'm looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot a USB virtual COM port.

  • Very slow start and run for Dell Inspiron 6400 XP times

    "I have a problem with an Inspiron 6400 brought to ' horribly slow start and run time.  XP Pro 32 bit SP3 patched up to date.  Cleaned up a lot of "undesirable", as the partially uninstalled programs, cleaned the files temporary etc. with CCleaner, cleaned and optimized the registry afer all the cleaning has been done, defragmented, tried to start without any of the boot files, disabled all unnecessary services and uninstalled virus checking software, (but ran several anti-virus controls) etc. - no help.   Safe Start Mode is faster, but... not at all normal - 1 1/2 minutes of screen to logon instead of close to 3 minutes.  A lot of memory (2 GB), which rises to 600 to 700 MB runnng all the stuff I've tried.  Hard drive is 1/3 used out of 120 GB with a 2 GB swap file.

    One thing I'm still scratching my head over - beyond the horribly slow boot - is very slow access to files even though everything seems to work normally, but as molasses in January.  Looking at the performance of the Task Manager tab when I run a copy of a file (whether via a cmd window or with Windows Explorer), I see a near max processor would be and the other with a small business.  Even if the customer says he had been getting worse for some time, after checking and cleaning of all things 'normal', my next thought was perhaps a bad disk or disk controller driver, but chkdsk ran very well (although it took hours) even if I ' d I have already updated all drivers (and even the DVD firmware and BIOS) on the Dell web site.  Oh, and I ran Dell Diagnostics (from bootable CD) updates all with no errors found.  And access to the slow file even with symptoms had max-processor occur with a copy of the file on a USB key that seems to eliminiate the hard disk, the disk controller and the pilot.

    The other interesting part of the display for a file copy task manager is that the processes tab simply shows System Idle 97 to 99%, with a percentage of casual for other processes as Explorer while I see 1 max out procesor on the performance tab.  That the same copy on your desktop shows 3-4% of the CPU usage and who is with active antivirus software.  I'm almost ready to fall toward a Windows reinstall, but would like to find the real reason behind this problem of puzzle...

    It of almost as if he's using PIO instead of DMA disk access, but... don't know how/where to test this.

    Look at:
    and

    Solved!   Thanks for the links, especially to each other.  An old but still a goodie!

    For those who have enquring spirits (and anyone else who stumbles across this thread), the primary IDE controller has been set to PIO and locked it.  Who would have thought that Windows slowly reduced the transfer speed, whenever he saw 6 errors on an IDE device until it has been reduced to PIO and then he locked it?  But the procedures described in the link of winhlp.com showed how to solve the problem.

    There are actually several problems that led to the final symptoms.  According to KB817472, the Atapi.sys has been improved in XP SP2 only degrade the speed of transfer on 6 consecutive errors instead of 6 cumulative errors.  And even though everything I have (Microsoft update) was seen and showed that this area was to SP3, I found that the driver for the controller layer IDE was the SP2 version.  Someone ran sfc previously perhaps?

    Oh, and I know now that the Task Manager process tab does not time processor kernal, but the performance tab.  Good to know...

    Thanks again to all who have responded.  Starting at the time of connection-question now is 40 seconds.   You'll love Untra DMA mode 5.   There is still a lingering question in my mind, since I've had the same symptoms of slow copy of a file on a flash drive.  Perhaps a link in some way to the way that Windows treats a flashdrive as a "drive"...

  • Time of very slow start with SSD

    Hello

    I spent the last few days the net trying to find a solution to the boot of win7 very slow but have led to nothing so far trawling.
    Im running Win7 Pro in bootcamp on a Macbook Pro with an SSD and 16 GB of RAM, but don't get a time horribly slow start, including a screen black (with usable mouse) for a long time before the watch office. I am not able to do a reinstall but would like to get the issue resolved if possible.

    So far, I checked the event viewer to see there are problems and I don't see anything significant that the mere fact that each entry includes an 'Error' level, but I don't see what this error. I also used the process monitor to see what takes so long and there are a couple of processes which are time consuming and show a result 'Cancelled', one being svchost.exe 110secs (path: ...system32\drivers\etc) and the other 23secs Explorer.exe (path: ...appdata\roaming\microsoft\systemcertificates\my)
    I should mention that I'm very new to this kind of troubleshooting but would appreciate any help I can get!
    Thank you!

  • Very slow start, Services could not be started

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate on my Vaio computer
    A few days ago, I experienced a very new problem for me, which is:
    -Start up Windows very slowly (welcome screen minutes...)
    -When I get home from office, it shows that windows could not connect to the "Event Notification Service"
    (- When I started to use the services of the window (click on desktop, taskbar, using network, or 'service' to enable the notification of event services...), I feel very slow loading, then hang up for minutes)
    -View event log services also could not start, so I couldn't see what happened. After you enable this service, I restart my laptop and same thing happens again
    -After it started to slow down, things worked normally (Internet explorer, other programs...)
    I did the things so far:
    -C' happened all of a sudden, I don't update or installed new programs
    -J' I have try start-up repair, could not find any problem
    -J' have disk check, nothing wrong...
    -Tried in safe mode, same thing
    Hoping to find a solution for this because this is my second post here, my previous post about blue screen due to USB_DRIVER... stuff has not been resolved, and I had to live with it.
    Thank you

    Dear Sir.

    I tried to follow your instructions and it worked.
    However, I had other problems and I tried to google out them, but I found solutions did not work for me.
    So what I did, I did an 'upgrade' to replace the files on my system.
    Problems with the services of the event disappeared, windows starts a little slowly, but the previous problems that I reported here are gone.
    then I found another problem with my office 2013 after I did the upgrade. Tried Google on solutions and still can't solve.
    I need office to work and I had to do a new reinstall my windows, so things are back to normal.
    I still think that my drive has problem, as about 2 months ago, I had the same problem (slow start), I have reinstall my windows, and then recently, it happens again.
    So I will wait to see this time, if the problem persists, I'll do disk check and allow you to see the report and hope that you could point to if my drive gone bad.
    Thank you very much

  • My computer has a very slow start up. How can I fix it?

    I had my computer HP Desktop for 4 years, and in the past months, my computer is slow when starting. It is the Windows Logo screen for a few minutes, then a black screen for a few minutes before cranking up my office. It works fine the rest of the time (so sometimes I think more memory is used, it should be.)

    I did the following:
    -Do you have the Startup Repair. Nothing wrong was found.
    -J' have a more complete McAfee subscription. No malware or viruses. Even clean fast ups.
    -Used the Microsoft Malware removal tool with an analysis complete. Scanned my whole computer and found nothing.
    -J' took the startup programs I didn't want to start a long time ago. It's only about 8 programs.
    Last thing I want / need to do is a defagmintation by car, but I don't think he'll do much.
    I did the scan with the command prompt. He finds errors and could not correct. I don't know how to find out what are these errors, or even how to fix them if I could.
    Basically, I did everything I can possibly think and does everything that I've seen in researching this issue. I really need help. I think that my computer can start and run a lot faster then it is now.

  • Satellite L650-12 q - slow very slow start & preformance

    My laptop is a Satellite L650-12 q with Windows 7 home premium 64-bit, intel core i5 - 43 M and 4096 MB of RAM. It works very well but begins to be a little slow last weekend, I've defragmented it and it got a little better. Then two days ago you 22mins at startup (& login) and an another 7 minutes just to open all programs. It is slow to seriously.

    I have defraged there once again, run the Tuneup Utilities (who says there is nothing to the difficulty to start), run my antivirus & anti-malware and it starts in safe mode. Even to start diagnosis and almost all startup programs off it makes virtually no difference.

    In total, it takes 10 minutes to get from the start 'windows' to my login screen then another 5 to get to my office. If I want to open a document in word or firefox, then yet another 3-5 minutes so he can come and start running slowly. Does not better it's on, but not by much.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's to tell me that it's time to get a new laptop :)

    No, it is not the time for the new laptop computer.
    Of course we don t know how did you use your laptop, what additional software you installed and how you configured OS so in my opinion, better than you can do now is to back up all important data and install the OS by using original Toshiba recovery image.

    After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything should be OK again. Please test a few days without changes and post comments.

  • Very slow start, much more slow Internet connection


    Thank you very much. This seems to have solved the problem with regard to the speed of the Internet, and I no longer get the firewall warning. The startup is still slow sometimes, but not always, so I guess that I will control it in the coming days to see how it goes. Thank you once again!

  • Satellite L300 - very slow start and freezes

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L300, who treated me well - but more 2 months ago really slow and freezes quite often. I have anti virus, spybot etc and come up with nothing.

    Last night I tried to reformat the system by pressing 0 did not work so tried with F8 which I would like to make a longer scan but no reformatting. I am now very happy that I failed to do the reformat because I bought windows 7 after the initial purchase of the laptop.

    Any ideas anyone - or any person with same/simular problems?

    Hey,.

    This means that you have installed right now and not preinstalled version of Windows Windows 7?

    Well, in this case HARD drive recovery option is no longer available. You can do it on preinstalled only Windows.

    To format your laptop, you need Toshiba recovery disc.
    Did you create it?

    If you start the computer after turning off your laptop hangs on a certain point? What is exactly different for restart?

    For Windows it's not important if you stop or restart the computer that of the same. I can only imagine the laptop hangs on the Toshiba BIOS screen, is this correct?
