New Satellite L855 - 14K is very slow

Hi people - advice on this would be appreciated...

I bought a Satellite L855 - 14K about 2 weeks ago and I am very disappointed to see that sometimes it's extremely slow. For example, enter my password on the screen of welcome to the ZoneAlarm and Avast icons appear in the system tray takes 5 min 45 sec.

Launch of Chrome takes 1 min 15 sec.

It takes 40 seconds to launch task manager.

I did the following to see if I could find the problem...

Complete system with Avast scan - no threats found.

Scan on startup with Avast - no infected files.

Check drive C for errors - no errors detected.

Optimization and defragmentation - finished.

Full scan of Malwarebytes - no malicious items.

SUPERAntiSpyware full scan - found 169 cookies, which I removed.

Looked at Toshiba PC Health Monitor and everything looked ok.

Run A tool of diagnosis of Toshiba and everything this past.

I manually checked the updates of Windows and found 5 optional updates are available, which I installed.

I disabled a number of items in the startup list - this is what is currently on...

I checked the Task Manager Services tab and I have 78 services running.

Thank you

Thanks for your final comments!

  • Satellite L855 - 14K - random switching between power settings

    My Satellite L855 - 14K is used when it is plugged. The screen changes every seconds bright for dim - at the same time the logo in the taskbar switches to [plugged, load] to [xx % remaining] and the plug is removed from the logo. I changed the setting to [high-power] power and changed the setting to never reduce or turn off the screen and the brightness of the screen has been set to the maximum. There is always an obvious difference and it makes me crazy.

    Fred

    According to the specifications of the laptop your machine was delivered with Win8 64 bit. Have you noticed the same behavior with preinstalled OS original?
    Since when did you notice this strange "switching" between the power supply and the battery?

    To be honest, it's not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here, but I think that it cannot be software related issue. I can hardly imagine that software gets a sort of 'signal' of electronic power supply.

    Hey Buddy,

    Can you be a little more detailed, please? What do you mean with very slow?
    How long it takes so that it starts Windows?
    How long it takes to start an application?

    I have to say that Windows XP 64-bit wasn t popular and there is no official support for Toshiba for this OS. If you use Windows XP, I recommend to install the 32-bit version.

    Did you test your laptop with the factory settings? It works properly with a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?

    I m also owner of the Satellite L300 and I use the preinstalled Windows XP 32 bit of Toshiba. I m very satisfied with this laptop, it s fast enough and need very little energy. :)

  • Satellite C50D-A-134 - very slow internet connection

    Hello
    In may, I bought a Saturday C50D-A-134.

    From the very beginning. The internet speed is very slow - Wifi or cable.

    That's what I did:

    Installed the latest drivers (LAN and Wifi)
    Installed latest Bios Update

    Contact internet provider: everything is checked - no problem of provider. (my other laptop on the same network speed gets speeds up to 10 times faster. So it really isn't a provider problem.

    There is no adware installed - it is not a problem of viruses (checked with several programs avast - malwarebytes etc.)

    Can someone help me

    The laptop seems to be equipped with 10/100 (10 Mbits / 100Mbit) Base-TX Ethernet LAN module. T
    It modulates Atheros WB335 WLan supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and supports 150Mbps.

    So for me the hardware configuration seems good and to be honest I don't think that there is a hardware / driver problem

    As you have pointed out the similar problem with both modules (WLAN and LAN) I recommend you to reset the router even if other devices are not affected.

    By the way: what do you exactly mean by slow?
    Can you give us a few values?

  • Satellite C660-1ZM is very slow

    I recently fixed my laptop to its original state, so, nothing had been installed to this topic, it seems very slow, because it crashes or stuggles to load on several basic programs, sometimes it loads fine other times it just hangs, I installed several drivers in the list of Toshiba, but always remains the same.

    Any advice?
    Thank you

    Aaron

    What are the core programs for you?
    What exactly happens?

    I think you which is your laptop quite slow. Preinstalled operating system must be configured correctly.
    You must remove all the unnecessary stuff system, configure the startup option to avoid the long start-up and have better performance of the laptop.

  • Satellite A40-151 is very slow

    Hello

    My friend has a laptop A40-151, which happened to be very slow with blue sceens of death, noisey and unit system returning to pio mode rather than ultra dma. We spread an infection by the virus and adware. I've had problems like this with all my last pc and it has always been the hard drive dying, or near death and it smells the same (saving). So yesterday, the laptop become very noisey which I suspected that the hard drive was probably to jam! However, xp blue screen referred to as core and memory dump. Could the CPU and memory also die? Maybe a fan is declining?

    I got a processor celeron with video shared in the past and they were not fast in the best of cases.

    Kind regards

    Ashley

    Hello

    It is best to check the computer step by step:

    1 you said yesterday - the laptop became very noisy it may be because of the clogged cooling module that keeps the fan running hard. You need a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. If you clean it well, but the noise persists, may be that the fan blades are broken (need to be replaced). The HARD disk can also made noise as it is old getting (replace) or need to be defragmented. You can download software Raxco Perfect disk to defragment, it's shareware but free for 1 month.
    2 on blue screen Xp, you must reinstall Windows Xp and see what happens.
    3 it can also be from material, if something serious, should contact ASP (SAV)

  • Satellite M45-S169 is very slow

    Hello

    I really hope that someone can give me a notice here...
    Recently, my laptop started to work very slowly. I was using Windows Movie Maker to create projects and she began to hang and not save the project... The use of the CP was 100% and the system ran out of memory quickly... Files with avi, wma, jpg files did not open at all and windows Explorer hanging just whenever I tried to open a. He had more than 20 GB of free space on system C drive and about 8 GB of local disk D... In addition, the copy process has just stopped working properly... It took a long time to copy even small files from one place to another... I am not connected to the network, so this isn't the issue...

    I have reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP SP2)... Files with extensions of different media now open... Although not very quickly. But the copy process takes much longer to finish... It is also very slow browsing photos with Windows picture and Fax Viewer.

    If sth wrong with the material from the laptop or the absence of some drivers could cause problems? What and how can I check this? I've had this laptop for 2 years now...
    I'm not very good with PC equipment and do not know what might not work... I greatly appreciate your help... Really need help here...

    Thank you very much

  • Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file

    Hello.

    I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.

    As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.

    When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!

    How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.

  • Satellite A30-514 is very slow and how to repair the cooling fan

It is believed that it's a RAM failure that made the slow machine or something else. I tried maintenance but did not help.

  • My new Satellite C50D-138 runs really slow

    Just above for laptop and really disappointed that it is so slow. I did not put new software on it but just loading internet is a real drag. I need only to basic internet surfing and create word documents so do not have a high performance computer, but it takes all 30 sec - 1 min to load a Web page. Is this normal?
    See the full specifications below. Thank you very much.

    LAPTOP TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50D-138, AMD E1-2100, 2 GB, 500 GB, WINDOWS 8.1, 15.6 "
    Toshiba C50D-138 is ideal for computer daily or basic use, with E1-1200 AMD Dual Core processor and 2 GB of memory.

    The 500 GB hard drive also lets that you space to save all your pictures, music and files.

    Enjoy your favorite movies on your built-in DVD player and talk via Skype through the webcam and built-in microphone.

    Bluetooth 4.0 is installed so as to have the option of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 to transfer data.

    The black chassis has a textured finish that allows to eliminate the traces of finger and gives a classic look.

    A lot of people on this forum topic reports similar. You must understand that for laptop with factory settings is not optimized, and each of us must make own configuration of operating system.
    For example, new notebook will do the automatic updates of Windows. With other words when Windows detects new updates it will download and installed in the background and that you know something like this running in the background. This will slow down the activity internet and laptop performance quickly.

    I recommend to install all Windows updates and change the settings in Control Panel > windows update > change settings. Use the option check the updates but let me choose... in the future you will be informed of the updates, but you can install them when you don't need machine for your work.

  • Satellite C850D - LAN is very slow

    I have a laptop C850D 12 months that I connect to a BT / Hub cable Cat 5 ethernet.
    My download speed has always been slow, but I recently moved to BT infinite thinking that it the network speed was not the laptop.

    Using their own laptop and my ethernet cable, the record of engineers BT download 35 to 40 Mbps while I record only 8-12 on my laptop.

    Sometimes this can be as low as 2 or 3 Mbps. I can also record high speed using my Macbook wife and my ethernet cable. Wireless speeds are similar.

    Is there any tuning that I can do for my laptop that could improve the speed?

    Thank you

    As I m wrong not the laptop Satellite C850D does support 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet network card.
    It supports ethernet 10-100 Mbps speed.

    Usually, you can change the settings in the properties of the LAN card.
    Device Manager-> LAN card-> properties-> Advanced tab

    There you will find all the options concerning the performance of LAN.
    In addition, you can check the BIOS settings too.

  • Satellite S1800-100 is very slow - should I upgrade RAM?

    Hello

    I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 on a Satellite 1800-100.

    The performance is really bad, worse than when I first purchased and installed XP a few years ago. The current installation of XP is only a few weeks and I don t run a large number of programs in the background - just basically Avira antivirus.
    However, when I try to open Firefox or even explore also slow down the machine becomes real and it takes forever to open a program.

    I'm already looking for more RAM (128 MB only here right now) but also I can t remember the performance WHICH is bad when I installed XP for the first time.

    So I thought that maybe I should upgrade the drivers and installed some drivers of
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    But it runs more slowly.
    Does anyone have an idea how to top the performance of the laptop in addition to buying more RAM?

    Thanks a ton for any suggestion.

    Hello

    The upgrade of RAM would bring you even more performance. 128 MB is not a lot of RAM and it should be updated for Windows XP.
    As far as I know the laptop supports up to 512 MB of RAM and you need to pass it to 512 MB. Then Windows XP run faster.
    You need RAM PC100 with each 256 MB module.

    To improve performance, you can do many things. For example defrag your HARD drive, clean the startup folder and the msconfig, disable all services that you need in services.msc, disable Visual effects,.
    If you're looking for here in the forum and on Google, you can find more.
