  There was several abnormal stoppages in the last days. A negative stop code may indicate a hardware problem. The precise meaning of the codes is not publicly documented.

  If you haven't already done so, you can try to reset the system management controller. Otherwise, or if the reset has no effect, see below.

  Do a 'genius' one appointment at an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider. You may need to leave the machine there for several days.

  Back up the data on the internal disks before you turn on your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional - ask if you need advice.

  If privacy is a concern, delete the partitions of data with the ability to write zeros * (do it only if you have at least two backups complete, independent, and you know how to restore on a blank disc from any one of them.) Do not delete the recovery partition, if it is present.

  Keep your confidential data safe during the repair of the equipment

  Apple recommends that you remove permission to a device in the iTunes store before serving.

• My computer is running slow/start buffering... play stop on NBC news video, CBS., there is not the 2-3 weeks... but not BBC, France 24, etc... .

  Initial problem on MSNBC Nightly News with Brian Williams... they had me download the latest version of Adobe flash and Java again. No help... called my Toshiba laptop manufacturer... suggests they try the options plan three different powers balanced, eco and high performance... no change on a... Contacted my internet provider... many phone calls, try that and other control download speeds, to recommended settings... Finally found a REP there who said there was a problem with the server congestion and they would move me to another server... had to go offline for 24 hours, while they were doing what they had on their end... checked everything with the ethernet cable and wireless also configured modem... Finally I had brought back online and the problem only has not been resolved, always running slow/updated in the buffer in NBC Nightly and a few others also had this happen with a couple of You Tube videos...

  Could this be something with speed use the news channels... as I said I have update/continue good Adobe/Java combo... This may seem a little profane... but I'm still learning about computers 57 women... it seems to coincide with the revolution in Egypt... coincidence or a lot more online activity... ?? !!! I can look at something else but would like to know what is happening and find correct it to add to my book of knowledge... Thank you very much for the time and the entry... essentially checked everything and wherever I can think to...

  Hello

  One of the possible reasons could be the speed of the internet thanks to which time can take to the buffer. You can try under methods:

  Method 1:

  You try to save the video to your computer to see if the problem persists.

  Method 2:

  You can pause the video and let the video buffer for a few minutes before selecting the 'Play' button again. Giving the download a few minutes to catch up while the video is paused can help solve the problem.

  Hope this helps,

• MBP early 2011 start running slow

  Hello

  I use MBP early 2011, i7 2.2 Ghz, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB HDD (573 GB free). Its pretty slow operation and initialize the time is more than 3 minutes. I ran EtreCheck and the result is the following.

  Several times in a day, MBP stops responding for a few minutes. It was everything beautiful, until it has been upgraded to El Capitan.

  Battery back up also seems to be about 2 hours with WiFi on and charging takes about 8 to 9 hours for a full charge. I use the genuine Apple magsafe adapter.

  Help, please. Thanks in advance.

• Base HP EliteBook 8760w model: computer suddenly starts running slow

  I was playing a game when the FPS started becomes weak, and it is gradually degraded over time. I suddenly realized that my power cord was not connected to the computer, and he was running low on battery so I charged it. After loading, nothing has changed, my browser was slow, staggered games, youtube videos would be in audio delay, then speed up again, just acted really bad. The CPU usage was always about 100% and before all this, my computer has been perfectly fine, extremely fast and usually I would get 144 fps in the game, but now I get 2-12. I tried malwarebytes, safe mode, clean boot, reboot, let it rest overnight, with ca running but no battery, using optimized bios by default, ccleaner clean and ccleaner registry clean.

  I never encountered this problem before, is it a virus or did I burn/break something?

  @Regrettings

  Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

  A few ideas

  Try a Hard Reset / forced:

  =================================================

  Hard Reset / forced

  • Close running of programs, the browsers and games

  Next

  • Create a Restore Point: create a restore - Win7 Point OR create a restore point Win8

  If you use a laptop

  • Close all your programs and shut down your computer
  • Unplug everything (little unifying for the keyboard / mouse external can stay)
  • Perform the forced reset for your laptop model
  • Start the computer and connect

  OTHERWISE, if you are using a desktop computer

  • Close all your programs and shut down your computer
  • Disconnect devices USB, speakers, other drives useless
  • Unplug the computer thirty seconds
  • Connect the power supply (plug in)
  • Reconnect the devices
  • Start / start the computer and log in

  Reminder: forced reset is a device reset.  The procedure do not destroy your files, or it destroys your Windows installation somehow.  Forced Reset "forces the system to erase and restore the software connections between the BIOS and hardware."

  =================================================

  More...

  • Try to reinstall your game.
  • Take a look at the overall performance from the point of view that the computer is probably not infected - it might be, but maybe it's a coincidence based on timing rather that on a computer running on battery - consider that the system may like to have low maintenance.

  Improving the performance of the system without adding memory (Windows 7)

  • Given the system beating on concern one of the programs that ordinarily would behave himself.  Take a look at the resource monitor - check what is running, how much resources each program uses, and whether these programs that are running are include as expected (not running Amok and steal all the resources).

• Computer suddenly starts running slow

  Hi all

  More computer problems - yay.

  I can boot my computer without problem. For about 2 minutes, it works perfectly - things open fast, close quickly, etc.

  Then all of a sudden, the whole system just slows down. All that I'm starting to take forever - the same computer hangs when I click on the start menu. Freezes completely, just for like 5, 10 seconds. But it happens every time, making it incredibly long to open anything (5 minutes for opening google chrome page.)

  I have a MSI motherboard with AMD drivers.

  I noticed that during the freeze, the computer disconnects from the internet (connected with an ethernet cable), raise above the symbol of the internet's yellow warning triangle.

  I start the computer in safe mode, fiddling around with a number of things when I got a warning window stating that I don't have an AMD graphics driver or that its does not work properly. This thread, I think it might be the drivers I installed using an MSI/AMD disc that came with the computer, so I installed them again using the disc, but no difference.

  System Restore does not work, I restored the closest point possible without success.

  Oh, I do not update windows, I had previous problems with windows after updates, so I cut them. This could it be? I'm not sure.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  (1) try a "clean boot".

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows:
  (solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or 8)
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs are interfering with your game or other programs
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

  One by one add back one application at a time in the boot list to check if a particular software application is the cause of the slow down.

  2) update your drivers from MSI web site

  Chances are the drivers to your MSI drive are older versions and have been updated:

  (3) scan your PC for viruses:

• Firefox started running slow about 3 Mbit/s on the same machine that is running to about 6 Mbps, reinstalled firefox twice, but no improvement.

  I have a mini-tower with windows OS computer using the Firefox browser, it started to run slowly, 3Mbps, while on the same machine using for example the download speed is about 6 Mbps, which is what I used to get with Firefox. Oddly enough, I have another machine a net book with Linux OS and Firefox browser and who always gets a good speed to about 6 Mbps, which seems to point to the windows version of Firefox being the problem. I tried twice to reinstall Firefox, but there is no improvement, recently, there has been a couple of updates for Firefox and would like to know is possible to go back to an older version to see if that solves the problem.

  I was so sure that I could be that the problem was with the combination of f-secure, windows vista and Firefox. The O.S. I can not change, Firefox I won't change if f-secure has drawn the short straw. Fortunately, I don't have a long contract with f-secure, I so uninstalled and moved, replacement works very well, too short life.

• Satellite M30 slow start, running slow & on most of the time HARD disk activity led

  The question above with my laptop. It is used to run faster than my desktop, but has altered performance. Running XP SP2 and Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works. No error shows when executing the Tests of Norton. Have reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled software but little difference.

  Laptop takes @5 minutes to start. Open Outlook takes 10 seconds. Drive light is on most of the time so I was wondering if the hard drive related.

  Any ideas?
  Thank you very much.

  Try the freeware like HD Tune or HDD Health programs.
  These applications provide some information on the State of the HARD drive.

  Follow these steps:
