New office slows down

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. This is my first post. I recently bought a new Hp desktop computer. It has 5 GB Ram and 640 GB hard drive. I got it for about a month. I use Norton Internet Security. The computer doesn't seem to be as fast as it was when I got it. It's pretty fast, but it just seems like he does not in the same way, that it was at the beginning.

I'm not a computer expert or anything like that. I know how to do basic stuff about it. I did put a lot of junk top or whatever it is. Just of music, I pulled it out of my CD collection. And a few photos.

Is it normal that my PC to slow down after only a month of use? Are you have any suggestions on this subject. I have AT & T DSL fast access. It's a connection high speed. Fast enough for games on my playstation 3.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Also he had a thing of Norton tools top who was supposed to be used for "optimize Performance". I forgot exactly what it's called, but when I activated it looks as it it idle even mor so I uninstalled. Is it ok to not have this software running.

Here is a list of things to try if your PC is slow:

  1. Download cookienator (it's a gift) and clean the House.
  2. Open my computer and right mouse click the hard drive--> properties--> disk cleanup
  3. Start Internet Explorer Tools Internet Options-->-->--> delete browsing history
  4. Open my computer and right mouse click on the hard drive-->-->--> Defrag tools properties now
  5. Open the RUN and enter the following command: chkdsk
  6. Open my computer and right mouse click the hard drive--> properties--> tools--> Check now
  7. Open the RUN and enter the following commands:

cmd

sfc / scannow---> it will check your critical system files and try to fix

output

Restart and see how things are going.

You can have some malware on your PC.  Did you add any web browser add ons or enhancements?

  • kernel_task slow down the new iMac 27 "5K to a crawl

    I've owned my new iMac (OSX El Capitan 10.11.4) for more than 4 months now and have had no complaints other than those sometimes caused by the limited installed 8 GB of memory (an upgrade to 32 GB is on order).  Suddenly last week, I noticed my machine slows down considerably and heats up. Check activity monitor, I have seen that kernel_task took 200 to 400% of the CPU.  Despite the heat, I noticed that I could not hear the fan running, so I downloaded Mac Fan Control indicating the fan did not work - I took it in the center of authorized Service Apple and they confirmed that indeed the fan did not work and ordered me a new one that I expect.  I'm not sure that the fan has never worked - as I remember ever heard - I naively thought the new iMacs are just quieter.

    In the meantime, I'm trying to understand what is causing the problem kernel_task.   I noticed it uses very little CPU on most boot-up until I have load Lightroom (I'm a photographer and use this app heavily) after which zoomed up to more than 200% kernel_task, video playback has the same effect.   However, if I use only my browser for the e-mail and listening to iTunes kernel_task remains down on the only figure of % CPU and machine stay cool.   The person I talked to Apple's Service said she has seen this before and the solution was to do a clean reinstall of the operating system.   I want to save as a last resort - after setting of the fan and installing more memory.    I wonder if heat build-up missing a fan has an effect on kernel_task or help to have more memory?  In any case this is the report of EtreCheck:

  • MacBook Pro slows down to a halt when plugged via magsafe.

    Hey guys.

    I had this strange problem lately, which started about 2 weeks ago.

    My Macbook Pro works perfectly as it is not plugged into the magsafe adapter.

    At the time wherever he is plugged in, it slows down to almost a halt with hiccups etc beach ball. From the MBP place goes from 15 to 20 seconds (unplugged) to 3-5 minutes (connected with magsafe)

    Now, I thought initially it was a hardware problem, but then I did a complete reformat and reinstall:

    I actually did 3 reformats full (the first two I have zero'ed my data) AND reset the SMC and the PRAM twice:

    The first reformat and reinstall brought back my MBP of El capitan to Snow Leopard. Meanwhile, first to reformat and reinstall the system, it may have showed signs of it still be afflicted by this slowness and beach ball gasp he showed before the reformat and reinstall. I kept the first reformat and reinstall for maybe 30 minutes in which I decided to reformat and reinstall once again, that I did not like the name of the Home folder.

    The second reformat and reinstall, I did notice one problem with the system, in fact it was running flawless both disconnected and connected via magsafe. I pulled up to the PS4 and played a few BF4 while I downloaded and reinstalled all the updates, then I upgraded to El Capitan. After all was said and done, I was reading how you can do a clean install of El Capitan via a USB port. I wanted to try this, so I downloaded a copy of El Capitan to a USB stick with the manufacturer of disc X and a then reformat (no zero out as starting program with El Capitan does not have it), and did a clean install of El Capitan.

    I didn't restore from back up or anything, the only thing I did was download all my iCloud data, like photos and songs etc. My system worked perfectly for about a week since the reformatting and reinstalling. He had no problem with the connected system or not.

    Now, a week later, the same problem slipped immediately came out of nowhere and the system works like crap when it is plugged. It takes 3-5 minutes to start, instead of 15 to 20 seconds when it is not plugged in. Also keep in mind, this is a new reinstall where I don't have any what garbage on my system. I didn't yet to reinstall all the games on my MBP, or anything like that, and in my opinion, this is one very bare reinstall OS. The total memory used is like 150 concerts against 350 before my first reformat and reinstall.

    So, I'm to the point where I'm racking my brain trying to figure out whether it is a hardware problem. Since the system ran a good week without this post question reformat and reinstall, it makes me doubt that it is a hardware problem. But on the flip side, since I did a reformat and reinstall, it can't be a problem of software either, especially since I didn't install anything the night before this problem appeared.

    My only hope to address this problem is I hope one of you had the same problem and have a solution. If not, it seems that I might need to get a new MBP this fall, which would be a shame this system ran flawlessly and fluidly before this annoying problem.

    Thanks in advance for any input.

    Since you mentioned the snow leopard, I understand that the MBP is an older model (2009 or almost?)... What is the status of the battery? https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201585

  • When I open too many windows, Firefox slows down

    I use Firefox for ever and I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. As far as I know, that nothing has changed on my end, but Firefox started running slowly after opening the windows of. How I usually use the program and have done for years, is to open pages in a lot of different windows and close them as needed. This does usually cause no problems and I can leave the program running for days at a time, works perfectly well.

    Last week however, something changed. Now when Firefox starts up first, it works very well, as expected, but then after a period of time, usually in a day, sometimes within a few hours, it starts sensational "gunked upward." At this point, when I try to load a page in a new window, instead of load instantly, there a second or two, during which I can not move to any other Firefox window, but all other running programs work very well. This State continues and grows slower and slower to load new pages, until I closed and reopened Firefox, then the cycle repeats.

    Again, this is a new situation, my normal behavior would not normally cause this kind of slowdown even after a week or more of continuous service. I ran a control of viruses and malware, without success control on either and other programs are not affected. I tried to restart as well, but the problem came back shortly after. I also turned off most of my modules, including those that have worked well for months or years, and still no change, it slogs always down after some time. My Firefox is also currently up-to-date, of course (27.0.1).

    What is going on?

    OK, I put some time in troubleshooting and think that I thought about it. After going in and out of safe mode several times, I reduced to a problem with Adblock Plus. With him in the distance, I could open a ton of windows, with it on this subject would begin to slow. A quick workaround solution was that if I went in the menu of the Addon whenever he began to slow down and disabled Adblock and transformed then turn it back on, it would reset the downturn, but I went to their own support site and came across people with the same problem solved by picking up a beta version of the addon. Since the installation, I got no problems.

    As to if it slows down your Firefox or your entire system, I cannot say, but some add-ons can connect to the internet in the background, for example, to check for mail or retrieve news/weather/etc. The best way to judge if the extension's bad performance is to use Firefox without it for awhile.

    The news that you pasted in your post usually comes in the DETAILS of the SYSTEM link OVER to the right of the question. Not sure what was wrong here.

    Last but not least, the forum software detected your Firefox in version 18. Is this correct?

    Version 18 is not safe; Mozilla reveals security flaws after each new version. Is something holding you upgrade to Firefox 21? Please let us know if we can offer you solutions or workarounds.

    If help > about Firefox shows 21.0 Firefox, you may need to disable the preference that is misrepresentation of your version number. See: sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version.

  • Pavilion 15 - ab219tx: Internet slows down after connecting the mobile to WiFi.

    Previously, I had a problem where internet connection slowed down painfully when cell phone charges. I tried to reset the power settings. Now I can connect to the laptop... However, now the problem is that if connect you to WiFi via the laptop, regardless of if its loading or not, the internet becomes ridiculously slow. And if the wifi is turned off, it returns to normal. Help, please.

    Thanks for your reply. I review the post. I understand that drivers are a bit old. I first want to eliminate hardware issues with the computer's wireless card by performing all the steps which are associated software.

    I understand perfectly that WiFi and wired Ethernet connection both seem to be slow.

  • Firefox slows down when opening a site with animated gifs

    After FF4 update, I find that whenever I try to open a page that has several on this animated gifs, firefox slows down a lot. The CPU usage goes up to 50-75% and all animated gifs are moving really slow.

    It is not only large animated gifs, but it occurs also on the forums that have animated smileys. I never had this problem in FF 3.6 neither another browser (IE, Chrome, Safari). If I start FF4.0 without modules or plugins it does the same thing. Even with a new facility. Does anyone have a solution to his problem? Since I can't use some of my favorite now with FF sites, without my pc slow everything down.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

    • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

    Safe mode disables extensions in Firefox 4, and disables hardware acceleration.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.
  • Firefox slows down for several minutes, as if (possibly), it seems "reoganise".

    Hello!

    Every once in a while, Firefox slows down a lot, the use of the CPU (for Firefox) exceeds to 95pct and there is a lot of drive actuvuty. Then after a minute or so, it starts again to normal.

    What does Firefox do? Is this normal/expected behavior? 'Help' Firefox if it needs to have something cleaned?

    I use Archlinux.

    Thank you

    Thor

    Some quick ideas (in the order that I would try them):

    • Clear your cache. It is possible that some of your cache files are corrupt and Firefox chokes on them.
    • Try to disable the Flash plugin. My experience with Flash on Linux has been less than stellar, and I would not be surprised if it causes problems. If it turns out that the Flash is the issue, you should try grabbing the newest alpha/beta 10.2 and see if that fixes it.
    • Try to open Firefox in safe mode. Which will disable your extensions and many custom settings.
    • Try to start a new profile (be sure to keep the old). There could be something wrong with your current profile (which contains all user-specific data).

    It will obviously be a pain to test if it happens only once a day or two, but that's all I can think about. Best of luck, it attaches, and with a little luck, someone else will have a more specific patch.

  • Satellite A100-545: noise intermittently slowing down the

    Satellite A100-545 when read no matter what audio work for example DVD CD or say Skype, MSM etc. sound intermittently slowing down for a few seconds then returns to normal, I downloaded the latest audio drivers.

    Hello

    Eventually it s only a matter of wrong setting.
    Toshiba virtual audio utility should be preinstalled on this laptop.
    Here, you can change some parameters such as the configuration of low frequency or high frequency sounds configuration

    I have sought similar questions in this forum and on the Satellite A100, sound problems has been resolved by updating the BIOS, then the audio driver.
    I don't know if this will help, but if the new version is available, you can try to update the BIOS of Mr. but do not forget to use the good BIOS because evil can damage the motherboard.

    If your iMac can run a newer operating system, it will not let you install. Where possible keep updated for better security.

  • The dc7600 fan not slowed down speed

    I'm new here but I have no news for the repair of computers, a problem which therefore left me speechless!

    A customer brought me a Hp DC7600 SFF desktop computer and said that the thing is so loud it doen't want to use it.

    Card"Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz

    2 GB DDR2 533 memory

    320 GB HD

    Win 7

    I lit and was swept away, this thing is so strong that you does not think!

    I disconnected the chassis fan that he calmed down some but the CPU fan turns at 5400 RPM all the time, I can't get the fans to slow down! I tried to use the program Speedfan, it was a joke.

    I am at a loss for what to do and wondering if something on the Board that controls the speed of the fan go haywire. I also upgraded to the latest BIOS and that did nothing.

    When the computer starts, it seems frankly a small liquidation aircraft prepares for take-off!

    What to do, what to do? ANY suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Thank you for your comments/ideas and suggestions. I would recommend he get a newer system because I think it's history! We have done everything that we can and it's time to throw in the towel! Thank you so much!
