• Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

  I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

  Hello

  Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
  the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

  Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
  role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

  not better?

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

• e7240 CONSTANT NOISE OF FAN NOISY / FAN RUNNING ALL THE TIME

  We received 2 nine E7240s directly from Dell, one for me and one for my colleague. As soon as I turned it on to build for my colleague, I noticed that the machine was overheating and the fan made a noise. Dell offers an upgrade of the BIOS that has not changed anything. They then changed the radiator, even once, that does not change and since then, they have changed the motherboard. My colleague went on vacation, so I don't know if the problem has been resolved, however, my laptop day you do not overheat (also of course as it has done for my colleague) BUT THE FAN RUNS ALL THE TIME. So much so that I think that the person in the room upstairs is using his hairdryer. Dell has replaced the heatsink of heat and the motherboard yesterday, I did the same update of the BIOS and the problem is even worse. As soon as I turn the thing, the fan runs all the time making a big noise. My predecessor was the E6500 and I was not bothered by noises, he did.

  The 7240 made so much noise that I want to throw it out the window , seriously, I go back to my old 5 years e6500, which is now very slow, I can not just take constant hair dryer of the fan noise! I'm waiting for Dell back to me, but I don't see what else they can do.

  I suspect a problem of design with newer models, someone with a laptop computer Latitude 13 also mentioned it on the Forum, someone else with an e7240 also said "I noticed the fan turns most of the time - it's quiet, but you don't know is spinning."  I just implemented, so the CPU is busy enough. "A person with the e6320 says"and the fan is noisy and turns far too often.

  I just bought a new Dell Latitude E7240 with Windows 7 laptop and had the same problem with overheating and the fan is running loudly all the time. I just fixed it on my laptop, it may not work for everyone but just in case I walked it here.

  The index for me was that the question has happened at home, not at work.

  • Using the Task Manager, I found that a "svchost.exe" process was always running at 25% of the CPU, i.e. to take 100% of one of the 4 hearts. For this you need view all processes, and that's why you need a local administrator account if she asks permission.
  • With right click on this process-online 'Go to services', you can study what services are hosted by this instance of svchost.
  • For each of these services, try to stop one at a time (if it helps) and see if the CPU usage goes down. For me, a clue was a service stuck on 'Stop' but never stopped.
  • The service which for me was the "HomeGroup provider." That's why the issue has happened at home and at work. The laptop had spotted my homegroup on my home network, but had not been able to accede. Maybe a problem with IPv6 that I could not turn on my desk.
  • In the Services tab in Task Manager, get on the service properties, which set to Disabled Startup Type.
  • Restart the laptop, to ensure that the service is stopped.

  That did the trick for me, and now the CPU remains less than 5% when idle. This isn't the problem that the fan is noisy when the CPU usage is high, but for me what rarely happens now.

  If you want to access files and printers on your home network without the homegroup feature, you can still do that the old way:

  • Network and sharing Center-Online avancΘs => Homegroup Connection-online 'use user accounts to connect to other computers.
  • Also in the settings advanced: enable discovery network. and Turn on File and Printer Sharing.
  • Then, you can click on your wifi network => add a printer.
  • If your office does not appear, click on "Not listed", then browse. As long as the network discovery and printer sharing are enabled, desktop PC should appear and you can connect using your local Windows user name and password.

  Hope this helps someone.

• The fan runs all the time because xinetd running more than 80% all the time.  Someone else has the same problem?

  xinetd is running at 83% or more 24 x 7 devours battery in 2 hours or less and making the fan run all the time.  I am connected to a bug report, and it turns out that it was a duplicate because someone else had the same problem.  However, I have no access to the other bug report or find anything either in the discussion forums or online.  Anyone experience this problem?

  Hello gorgonzola1111,

  I doubt that someone else has this problem because xinetd does not part of macOS. Have you installed it from a package of "ports" 3rd party?

• Satellite R630 - fan runs all the time

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Satellite R630, and I'm happy with it. But there is one thing that makes me angry... the fan! It runs ALL the time. I browse a little... the fan works. I work with the office, or something... the fan works. To clarify: the CPU is not used, there is no heavy processes running, and the Notebook\CPU is cool. There is no reason why the fan should work, all the laptops that I had before where calm in the same situations. Of course it is not a problem if it starts working if necessary (a game, looking for a HD video or something). But not without reason!

  Someone at - it a solution for this problem? A tool to fix the fan speed\intervals manually, or better: an update of the bios (in the version 1.4 and 1.5 I can choose what I want... the fan did not stop execution). It is also quiet in Linux or any other operating system.

  @Toshiba: (!) Please do something. The only solution for me right now is to return the laptop to the store. :-(

  Best regards

  Hello

  Hmm... If you have already installed the latest BIOS updates, you should check the cooling of Windows Power management settings. Generally you can switch between different methods of cooling as you can read here:

• Satellite Pro 4600: Win2k with SP4 - cooler run all the time

  Hello

  last week, I bought a used Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 PIII, 1 GHz, 512 GB of Ram, WIFI and DVD burner. Great machine so far.

  After that I changed the FAT32 file system to NTFS and reinstalled Win2K/SP4 cooler runs all the time.

  TaskManager says that "THOT_KEY.exe" uses up 99% of the CPU power. Disabling this service reduces the power of the processor and the cooler was quite, BUT didn't really helped - lots of keys does not work.

  I ran a few utilities to disinfect as Kaspersky, NOD32 etc. to ensure that Ia´ve not taken some malware.
  Should I try a bios update or change some settings?

  Any ideas?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  AFAIK the THOT_KEY.exe belongs to the Toshiba Hotkey utility that controls the various key functions.
  If you disable this service, you will not be able to use the FN keys more.
  I m not 100% sure why this service uses 99% of CPU performance, but perhaps that it s not completely compatible with the W2K service packs. Where did you download this utility? I found it on the page of Toshiba Europe!

  In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the system again. This is probably the key!

  Good luck

• How can I return to 6.3 4.0 I have never had a problem with 3.6 and now 4.0 crashes all the time tell me how to go back

  How can I return to 4.0 3.6 I've never had a problem with 3.6 and now 4.0 crashes all the time tell me how to go back

  Downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first of all uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option 'remove my Firefox personal data '. If you select this option, it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

  Then you can install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your favorite courses, passwords etc.

  I recommend, to avoid possible problems with decommissioning, accessing your profile folder and delete the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Delete these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, check their compatibility and cancel the toolbar customizations.

• Upgrade to Win 8.1 the fan runs all the time and Raw (Silkypix) converter consume 100% CPU resources

  Hi, after upgrading to win 8 to 8.1 win my converter (Silkypix) raw program running extremely slow and consuming 100% of CPU. VAIO all updates completed, all Win 8.1 updates made. ATM Radeon HD 7500 M / 7600M (Maj) with 2 GB RAM dedicated.

  In addition, the fan works almost all the time that was not the case with Win 8.

  Vaio SVE1712Z1EB with 8 GB of RAM, i7 processor execution.

  SeanQ, after some time looking for a solution I finally found it on one of the vaio sites forum: it is the Radeon driver that must be installed from the Vaio support site. NOT the driver the latest AMD site. It does not solve the problem.

  I did as follows: device, graphics card, Uninstall Manager. Did not help. Went to AMD in Program files. Setup.exe has begun, but instead of installation, clicked on uninstall. In this way, I uninstalled the driver former AMD and bad news from the site of AMD. I had to manually uninstall the driver in Device Manager, several times. Finally, I went to the site of Vaio and tried updating the driver. He failed. Reset. Manually start the update of the Vaio AMD driver. Finally it worked.

  The fan is now more or less normal speed.

  Overall, I spent 15 hours looking for this solution. How much is my time worth? Just joking, I'm happy that I found the solution.

• GeForce 7350LE graphics card fan is running all the time or at certain temperatures?

  I have a HP Pavilion m8147c Media Center with AMD Atlon 64 X 2 Dual Core processor 5600 + 2.80 GHz 3 GB of Ram and run these last time the parser when began to enter the mode "sleep" or something. Sometimes, there is a warning that says something like no signal DVI and one more, but still not long enough to read all this. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I had just installed a new game but enough course has nothing to do with that I used the system restore and backed up to a time before it was installed. At the beginning it was only when you play, but now, it happens with almost nothing running. This pc was purchased in July 2007 and I have another office but I let my wife use one and I use the other. I opened the folder and clean all the dust but noticed when I booted again that the fan does not work on the video card. I don't know if it lights at certain times or works all the time but I think that's the problem. He was about one hour and lights do not at all. Any information will be appreciated.

  captna wrote: thanks again for the help, I thought it was probably the case but never bothered with graphics cards before today. Any thoughts on an upgrade for not much more money? It was a pretty good pc when I bought it, but it is old, and there should be some video cards better for the same price that would work. I'll add some memory and while I am because the grandchildren need to play their games too. Do you know where to find an upgrade that would be compatible? Yet once again, I appreciate the help.

  Hello captna, here is a link for the specifications of your system. It shows that the system was delivered with a 300 Watt power supply.

  There is not much better performing video cards that work with a 300 Watt power supply. Most require at least a 400 Watt power supply or greater power.

  You could improve the feed and the video card, then possibly 4 new memory modules, but the cost would start to add up. On a system to make a few years about it, I don't know if this would be the way to go, or consider getting a new system.

  You could simply acquire a new video of the same type card and get the system back, because there was, or even try and find a graphics card fan to replace the failed fan. It would be the least expensive option.

  Your system was shipped with the memory 3 X 1 GB modules. It only supports 4 X 1 memory modules, so upgrading the memory would not help all that much. You'd probably remove the existing memory and install 4 new memory modules in order to be compatible with your system memory. It is not recommended to mix memory strips.

  Just some thoughts.

• Satellite Pro A120 - fan run all the time

  OK, so this is a strange...

  I have a satellite Pro A120. It works with the fan on all the time and sometimes goes on a mayor go slowly (which I think can be reduced to overheating).

  Operating system is Ubuntu and I installed the tool of sensors that tell me about the minute the temperature is 100 degrees c and the next one is 16!

  I suspect that it is perhaps that the heat sink is full of fluff, but I can't find a guide step by step to dismantle the machine, clean it and put it back together again.

  Can anyone help with ideas or resources?

  Thank you very much

  Nathan

  Hello

  You do not need to disassemble the unit to clean the fans.
  You can use a jet of compressed air which helps to remove dust.
  I did it several times and it helped!

  Try it!

• My fan is running all the time...

  I have a Dell XPS 15.6 Windows 7 64 bit. It is about 3 weeks old. My laptop was on my firm stand and the fan came. When I opened it, it stays on. Also when I went to type there is a tone that did not previously exist. The fan stays on while it is open, but stop sometimes to when I close. Please any help, I'd be happy.

  Hello

  Only way to really know if there is a problem is to check with a real computer (not the leeks and pics store
  at a Best Buy or other department stores) or Support of Dell. Also ask in the Dell forums where others have
  the same system for known issues.

  Make sure that the vents are clear, so there is plenty of air circulation. Try using a small fan blowing through the vents
  to see if the heat is excessive. Often, a cooling pad can help.

• Satellite U500-PSU9BE - fans to run all the time

  I bought a U500 - PSU9BE 10 days ago, comes with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  10 days everything was fine.
  Without changing any settings, today the fan has full throttle, as usual he is sitting on my desk with plenty of ventilation around it...
  After awhile, I opened the tool PC to see health + 90% of the activity of the fan and only 27% of the CPU temperature.
  It off for 2 hours. Is returned and turned on. He took over fan full speed immediately at startup.
  It feels like a thermal conductor who does not switch the fan to the bottom switch.

  Looked at Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel settings - all together on the optimization of the battery.
  The Eco mode is activated.

  What the hell happens on this machine? Al support will be more than welcome!

  Hi mate

  Have you checked the parameters of module cooling in power management Windows 7-> Toshiba power saver.

  Here, you can change the method of CPU cooling for maximum performance CPU, or better battery life with reduced CPU performance. If the CPU fan noise seems too strong, a setting that maximizes the battery life will also cause the CPU fan turn on less frequently.

• Tecra M5 overheating, fan runs all the time

  Hello

  My Tecra M5 as for some time a problem because as soon as I start it (cold) the fan is long and quite fast, then set at a lower speed (still noisy as fast) but never going off, for a while as well the HD is much too loud rattling. Thus, the laptop computer is slower. The laptop as it was sent twice to the authorized service provider that has changed only the audio who disappeared as well. The HD as summer changed twice already in the last 3 years (look at the overheating is a common problem).

  Now, the certified service provider send me bak the laptop still not fixed like they said that's it's OK (for the past 3 years, I know this isn't normal behavior, knowing the machine), the concern is that my warranty is over in 3 weeks... Will that be a commune precedure to say everything is perfect (when it isn't) so close to the end of the warranty?

  Thanks for any response.

• It is normal to have the 6-10 mdworker process running all the time?

  Is this normal? I was not able to know how much Supply mdworker is average? I see anywhere from 6 to 13 at one point. This number even when the computer is sitting idle, nothing to do. Is Spotlight plugins in the folder Extensions cause? It's as if they're all waiting for something to index rather than wait until there is something running.

  See on Mac Pro, Macbook Pro and Mac mini on 10.11.3. Anyway, just curious.

  Spotlight re-indexing of the process are scheduled to kick off when you first turn on your machine (s) for the day, but will shoot upward if you attach nonindexed storage.

  It is customary for a swarm of mdworker process that will be launched. These processes will vary depending on the available CPU threads, memory and internal/external storage devices that require indexing. If you have a multi-terabytes, Bay external storage Thunderbolt or drive Time Machine, Spotlight is perfectly willing to chew away at home and depending on the content, maybe for hours. Spotlight system preferences panel has a Privacy tab to exclude indexing of selected storage.

  This morning, for about 45 minutes after turning on my Mac with 10.11.3, Spotlight mdworker process numbered 14 and after 45 minutes, were dropped to only 5. This seems to be the minimum of mdworker that these hang autour in a sleep state, apparently to the call for additional indexing if necessary.
