• My computer is slower after reinstalling windows 7

  A few days ago, my computer starts not up to scratch the windows recovery options helped, so I decided to reinstall windows 7.

  As soon as he finished, I installed all my drivers from the manufacturer and ran windows update several times so I'm sure that I have all the necessary drivers.

  but for some reason, my computer is SLOWER, it was before the reinstall, you would think it would be faster? I have no idea what is wrong, for a bit, I thought it was Skype causing the lag but after that uninstall and restart my computer that wasn't even the problem.

  The disc is not erase the disc itself.  You do this by removing all partitions up to unallocated space, as I said above.  If this has not been done so installation is not really clean.

  But there are many other tips and optimizations in Clean reinstall Windows 7 that all add to the best installation possible.   So I'd go on to see if the system can be improved.  If this isn't the case, you might want to start over with a clean slate.

  Hi christian,
   
  We will place your boot system to identify the application at the root of this problem.
   

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

• Computer running slow after the removal of McAfee.

  A few months ago, I removed McAfee from my computer (windows vista). Since then, he has really slow, constantly "not responding" and takes about two hours to get on the same page (before crashing again). Initially, I removed the program via the control panel. When I look at the performance data, I've got a base score of 3. The report of health system tells me that the beginning we is slow because of 'on-access scanner service', "mcshield.exe file name." I tried the selective startup options, try turning it off, but I can't find the program.

  I also ran the McAfee tool (from their website) to remove it, but no luck.

  Can you help me? He drives me crazy.

• laptop computer becomes slow after a while of use and when the charger is connected, becomes normal.

  Hello

  I use HP Compaq Presario CQ62, Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit OS, 4 GB ram, Intel core i5 processor. It is a portable 4 year old. The battery was changed 8 months ago.

  Now, coming to the problem, my laptop will work very well for a few minutes at the start when I turn it on. After some time, the laptop everything becomes so slow it takes forever to work. This occurs when the power is not connected. If I connect power, less than a minute it starts to work faster. But the laptop would become very hot.

  This problem started when I updated my iPod. After update iPod, I had this problem even while the charger is plugged. Later, I changed the OS Win7 Home premium genuine to Win 7 Ultimate. (Pirates). I have run the genuine Antivirus, cleaned the registry and everything. The problem persists. Please help me with this topic.

  Thanks in advance

  -Kere

  kaaranjikere,

  So I checked the error you are getting, and it is not the battery do not, it is the power which is a failure and that includes everything for the power.

  So it is likely that something wrong with your motherboard.

  You will need to take the system to someone looking over everything.

  I would like to know how everything goes

  Nice day.

• Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

  Hello world

  I need help here.

  My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

  I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

  I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

  After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

  I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

  Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

  What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

  Concerning

  John

  OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

  If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

  Model No.: m7-j010dx

  Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

  Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

  Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

  User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

  With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

  When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

  A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

  Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

  I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

  After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

  The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

  UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

  Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

  SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

  So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

  Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

  The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

  I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

  If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

  If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

  Conclusion:

  I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

  But then again, I know.

• My game of hearts has suddenly slowed a lot - to slow to play, all the answers?

  Cards suddenly are very slow

  Hello

  1. what operating system do you use?

  The computer may slow down due to several reasons, trying to play games. I suggest you try the methods mentioned below and check if it helps:

  Method 1: Perform a clean boot.

  To perform a clean boot and see if the problem still occurs, follow the steps in the below link.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 in the link to your computer in normal mode.

  Method 2:

  You can also scan your computer the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 3:

  Try updating the graphics card driver.

  To update the graphics card follow the steps below:

  1. click on Start

  2. in the start search box type devmgmt. MSC and press enter

  3. expand display adapter

  4. take note of the display of the card manufacturer

  2. to Activate a Windows feature, select the check box next to the feature. To turn a Windows feature, clear the check box of games.

  3. click on OK.

  4 restart the computer.

  5. try steps 1 and 2 , but this time, check out the games and restart the computer

  Check to see if that solves the problem

  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 Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

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

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

  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.

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.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.

  Stop Windows 7 to automatically install device drivers

  Turn off Windows Update Device Driver search prompt in Windows 7 / Vista (for the professional, full and Enterprise edition)
  http://www.AddictiveTips.com/Windows-tips/disable-Windows-Update-device-driver-search-prompt/

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

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• XPS 8700 suddenly slow restart and check

  My 8700 previously fast Dell with 12 GB of ram has suddenly slowed to a crawl when restarting or commissioning. The problem occurs before any hard drive activity starts.  So, when I reboot, and after that the shutdown procedure occurs, the screen goes into mode "Eve" (orange), white light button / stop of the Tower remains on. The computer is then silent for about five minutes before the screen comes alive, turns on the led drive activity, and the start-up procedure occurs.  From this point, start-up is fast.

  If I turn off completely, when I boot, the power light turns white, the display shows a Dell logo in a circle.  There is no Caterpillar goes in a circle of about five minutes. There is no disk activity.  Suddenly, after having sat there, the Caterpillar appears and the computer starts up quickly from that moment.  Basically, the Dell logo without Caterpillar takes several minutes when it is used to take a few seconds.  If I hit F12, it won't beep until after five minutes is complete.  So, the problem is very early in the boot process, I guess.

  I shut down the computer, pulled out the plug.  Removed all USB cords.  Holding the switch down for thirty seconds, then re-inserted all the cords and propelled upwards. That does not solve the problem.

  I have the BIOS A03 delivered installed on this machine that was purchased almost exactly a month ago. I have not tried to update the BIOS for fear that I might make things worse because the computer was fast a week or two ago.

  Online diagnostics refuses to start. Have not knowingly changed anything in the BIOS settings. Did not run diagnostics from the F12, but will.  Cannot see how to activate the detailed MESSAGE.

  See my similar thread with a couple of possible solutions (doesn't sound like your question but maybe there's some common ground there):

• MacBook Pro mid-2009 suddenly slow

  I need to replace my computer, or double the RAM work?  Everything is suddenly slower and the "beach ball" appears more and more often.

  I ran EtreCheck, but not anything about the significance of the results.

• Satellite A100 - Internet becomes slower after 10 minutes

  Hello

  the Satellite A100 worked well for a few years, the internet has become suddenly too slow after 10 minutes of the start.
  The laptop switched on the first time that the internet works very well the 10 first minutes then becomes slower and slower until almost no packets are received but the connection does not completely down.

  Suspected spyware, rootkit, is cleaning up, and then installed from the disk recovery

  Then I tried the same thing. Uninstalled the connection to the local network and then reinstalled from the Device Manager, nothing.
  I figured that the Ethernet port is a failure. Then I used an adapter usb-to-Ethernet D - Link is completely independent of the integrated Ethernet hardware. Nothing, same behavior, working, first fine then Firefox displays a downtime

  The modem, cable, internet are all very well since I have tested with a PC and a laptop Fujitsu (5 years) and they all work very well. Even the D-Link works fine.
  The Toshiba pc diagnostic tool specifically says "Network Fail", but it crashes exactly?

  An idea or a similar experience?

  Hello

  Hmmmmm... It sounds quite complicated.
  What is with WLAN? Have you noticed the same behavior using the WIFI connection?
