I think the Satellite L100 is slow - it's all about Dual-Core

I have dualcore centrino L100, but he acted strange.

Everything takes so long to load. So I check with the Task Manager, what was going on and he said a carrot was operating at 100% and the other at about 3 to 4%.
Then I clicked on the processes tab to see what has been using all the CPU performance and the only thing coming so was firefox which showed a 1%.

Can someone tell me what could cause this problem and how to sort it?

The only software that I installed are zonealarm (the one with all the bells and whistles) and some games.

Another symptom is I can't listen to any music without him jumping it's cd and music ripped to the hard drive, but it is fine if I put music on my mp3 player

To be honest I don't see any problems with you laptop.
The dual core CPU supports Intel SpeedStep technology.
This feature helps to dynamically adjust the frequency of voltage and CPU core that helps reduce the heat dissipation. Simply said; not, the CPU always runs full implementation. Only if it s needed.

Don t wonder if one of the cores will run with superior performance as the other core.

Second, I see that you have installed Zonealarm. I know this free firewall and to be honest it significantly slows down the performance of laptops! I had it installed several months ago, and each start-up took much longer than without the zonealarm.

So skinny back buddy. your laptop is ok

    I have Windows XP SP3 installed.

    audio driver is sound-psla0-xp-31100

    Hello

    already tried the real sounddrivers of conexant? Maybe your audio input device work after you have installed the card driver its manufacturer.
    Another reason could be the SP3 which additionally brings the benefits some driver has problems with, would also be an option to check for some patches microsoft knowledge base or workarounds.
    Just search for driver audio conexant and maybe you'll find something.

  • After recovering the Satellite L300 is slower and freezes

    Hello

    I just restored my 1DN back to factory settings L300 - but now I find that my computer is very slow and freezes for 1 second about every seconds frew. Certainly, it does not perform as it did before you restore the factory settings. For example videos etc. freeze every few seconds and do not play smoothly as they did.

    No idea why this is and if she has nothing to do with the restoration of factory settings? And how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    After the laptop recovery procedure is certainly not up-to-date and I imagine that many Microsoft updates will be downloaded and installed. If you use the factory settings it is on automatic and several hours or maybe two updates will be downloaded and installed.

    While the installation of updates that I can imagine that the notebook is quite slow and you'll be noticed freezing or stopped video playback.

    Before you start using your laptop, install all updates and optimize the operating system preinstalled. Typical result of the new installation of the OS's slow start.

  • I think the Satellite P100-427 has grainy screen

    I just bought a Satellite P100-427 with a Trubrite screen. However, I find that the screen is grainy, especially when you look at a white background. I saw the same video card on a non-Toshiba laptop with the same specifications and it seems ultra sharp - no grain at all.

    What I have to do something to my computer or make me a defective screen.
    Comments are appreciated.

    I think you're the one with this note on the screen. It will be interesting to see what it looks like, because in this way, it is not easy to say something specific about it.

    I can only say that you can try to update the BIOS with the latest version. A long time ago I found some similar comments, and the solution is update the BIOS.

    If you decide to do this please read carefully offered BIOS update document.

    How to check for hardware conflicts?

    No new software installed, no. Windows Update turned on so I'm excluding the chances of any question of software!

    Toshiba...
    Help, please!

    > How to check for hardware conflicts?
    Well, if you can exclude the problems of the (software) system (and I think you can do this because the laptop should run stable and properly after restoring the laptop) we assume that your laptop problems might be related to malfunction of the equipment.

    What part of the material could go wrong function? Well, I m thinking on the HARD drive or memory.
    I think you should check if the HARD drive is OK. For this, you can use some HARD drive diagnostic tools as for example disk HARD drive fitness test.

    Of course, you could also swap the HARD drive and was able to recover the laptop using the new disc HARD just to check if the same question would never happen again.

  • Speed of the satellite - 12L - C850D slow WLAN and LAN

    Help please

    I C850D - 12L running Windows 8.1 and as far as I know, have all drivers up to date according to PC world.

    I am not receiving the correct speeds both hard and connectivity wireless. Should get 30 + bottom and 10 upward but getting 10 down and 5 up.

    I did the usual stuff of BT and they are on the case - they say that my hub receives correct speeds and suggests that it is my drivers?

    Another laptop received very good speed of my hub. HUB is the latest issue of BT

    Happy new year

    > I did used * BT stuff * and they are on the case - they say that my hub receives correct speeds and suggest it's my drivers?

    I m really confused. You're talking about BT (I guess you mean Bluetooth), but this Toshiba laptop can't stand NOT BT's
    The device is equipped with a Realtek RTL8188CE WLan card 802.11b/g/n and with LAN Fast Ethernet 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX card.

    But he can't stand BT

    So could you please provide more details or could you clarify this misunderstanding

  • Missing keystrokes on the Satellite L100 - 113 PLA3

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Again, I wiped the hard drive and it seems to be no difference in performance.

    Help please?

  • Questions about the Satellite L100 (PSLA3L) ram upgrade

    I have the laptop above and a new stick of RAM, do not have a manual but are there instructions for the upgrade, that?

    I opened the back and the type of image that keeps the RAM is not familiar to me. I can see how it goes, but it's not clips easily which leads me to belive miss me something, or else it requires an ungodly amount of strength.

    Grateful for any help

    Hello

    Don t be not shy, just try it. You must use force. A little tip: when you put the lever in the slot, then bend the clips a LITTLE outside the module can easily break into the slot.

    Trust me, try it as I suggested you and it will work.

  • How to use the LAN wireless on a Satellite L100-197

    Have this L100-197, has a card wireless in there, but the wireless button is blocked with a sticker. Installed the card very well, but obviously I have no wireless switch, so it can't seem to find available networks.

    What do I do/buy/install?

    [Edited by: admin on June 30, 2007 08:04]

    Hello

    Do you really mean the Satellite L100-197? !!! This laptop is not known to me!
    It seems that the number of 197 extension does not exist but only the 179!

    Satellite L100-179 does not support WLANs and was delivered without any WLan minPCI cards!

    Bad news, you can also not improve with a minPCI wireless network card. If you want to connect the laptop to the WLan, you need to use an external solution such as a WLan USB key for example!

  • Satellite L100: Logo Centrino Duo missing

    I bought the Satellite L100 Centrino Duo of China and as all the pilots were in Chinese, so I upgraded the site Web of Toshiba. He had the BIOS update as well... after I have done... the Centrino Duo logo disappeared from the start. Instead of as single Intel appears...

    How can I get that back?

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop uses Phoenix BIOS.
    The "quiet boot" option should appear on the fist page 'Hand' BIOS.
    If this option is enabled, the diagnosis is disabled and LOGO should appear.
    But if it's disabled if the diagnosis appears and summary screen is displayed.

    I think you should check this posibility

    Hello

    It is possible to replace the wifi card that brought the Satellite L100-108 (Intel 3945ABG) for the an Intel 4965AGN?
    The two cards are mini pci - e and the chipset of the motherboard (with Everest says only that it is Toshiba), is the Intel i945GM.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Why you want to upgrade the WLan card?
    I mean the Intel 3945ABG provide three different WLan standards.
    OK, the Intel 4965AGN provides the standard 802.11 N standard, but this standard cannot be used because the wireless network card should 3 antenna wlan
    AFAIK the L100-108 was equipped with antenna Wlan of two sons that is designed for A B and G WLan standard.

    Please help me.

    Hello

    First of all I recommend to check the HARD disk for disk failure HARD errors that may affect the performance of the computer, you should check the HARD drive using freeware tools one of the tools that I use is the Drive Fitness Test he has been published several times here in the forum and its really great software.

    If the HARD drive would be ok and if no error would be detected, then, I recommend disabling some processes that are not important for you in many cases different tools would be charged during the OS start process and these tools run in the background that slow down the operating system.
    Run msconfig and check the Startup tab
    Here you will see all the programs that are loaded at the beginning, you can uncheck the tools is not necessary

    Note: If you are not sure what means the only process, use google and search in internet for more details otherwise don't disable this.
