Pavilion TouchSmart 14z-f000: slow startup and performance

My laptop takes forever to start and load windows completely.  Once Windows is fully loaded, it tends to freeze.  I have a lot of space on the hard drive.  I use it only for business applications, i.e. Microsoft Office Suite and the law! contact management.  I have absolutely no game.  I have a lot of music so. No idea where to start?

I've upgraded to 10 Windows in Windows 8, but it was a few months ago.  I imagine that if it were the root of the problem, the problems would have started earlier.

FYI, in the amount of time it took me to connect and post this question, my laptop finally got to the password entry.

It seems to be fixed now.  I uninstalled AMD and Raptr.  Not sure how they have had on the computer, but it have been downloaded around the same time, the problems started.  It is normal running now.  I will try your recommendation, if symptoms recur.  Thanks for your help.

  • Pavilion TouchSmart 14z-f000: bluetooth

    Music playback is very poor via bluetooth devices.  The music plays fine through the laptop speakers, but if I try to use my bluetooth speaker or a receiver of music sound quality is mediocre at best and the music skips.  My iPhone and iPad play well across the two devices.  All my music is on my computer.  I would like to play directly from here.  Any suggestions?

    Hello @LSUTravis88,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post about the problem of the Bluetooth and wanted to help you!  I understand that the Bluetooth device will pair, but the sound quality is not sufficient.

    You can try to update the Bluetooth drivers for your laptop.  However, your product does not have Windows 10 drivers on the HP site.  Maybe that's why you have a few problems.  You can find the drivers for your product here:

    Drivers - HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14z-f000 CTO Sleekbook

    If you still have problems, try to uninstall the Bluetooth driver, then reboot the laptop.  Please let me know the results.

  • Slow startup and performance of the virtual machine

    Hello

    We used with ESX 3.5 U3 and VC 2.5 Build 119801 for quite awhile. We organize two virtual computers W2k3 running Citrix XenApp 4.5 (last patchlevel). One of these two machines have a meaning very, very bad performance 100% cpu and memory. The other virtual machine works (ago implemented by cloning each other) fine.

    We migrated virtual machine causing the problem to another host ahead has a bottleneck of the esx host. But if there is only the one virtual machine on an esx host, the problem remains. When starting the virtual machine, the W2k3 bootscreens hung for at least eight minutes. We followed the vmware.log in the datadir of the virtual machine. The vmware.log says:

    10:05:27.209 Mar 27: vcpu-0 | SVGA: Registration MemSpace 0xf8000000 (0xf8000000) and 0xf4000000 (0xf4000000)

    We have no memory of overcommitting, no action, no DRS, without limits and without reserves. I just deleted a snapshot as I thought writing the delta file could slow the operation.

    All other virtual machines seemed fine.

    Any of you have seen this problem before?

    Thanks in advance,

    Daniel Volkerts

    OK, then once the machine starts, run the real-time performance monitor, add counters for cpu, mem, disc and see if it goes pic... also Task Manager control which process takes more cpu or mem...

  • 10.11.4 slow start and performance.

    Update caused 10.11.4 my iMac (27-inch, mid 2011) no start, after checking with an external start HD found no system errors, flawless HD, no failure of memory. Finally managed to boot into recovery and do an Internet re - install.

    Now I can't boot how whether it's very very slow, at least 10 Minutes, then well that just doesn't seem seem to work it is horribly slow. I was hoping it was indexing, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    The question seems to be double, very slow startup and very slow performance. The external HD boot was 10.11.3 and seemed to be doing OK, so I have to assume that the question is 10.11.4 as everything else has been validated. All the usual things were made, PRAM, permissions etc.

    At this point I have nowhere to go. BTW, took me 15 minutes to get into this brief overview.

    I had problems with Bluetooth, you see only not my speaker MegaBoom and Photo Booth says "No. Camera connected... so I has the following guidelines.

    Downloaded and installed Mac OS 10.11.4 from scratch

    Then I reset the SMP:

    Reset the SMC on Mac desktops

    Follow these steps for iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro and Xserve.

    1. Stop the Mac.
    2. Unplug the power cord.
    3. Wait 15 seconds.
    4. Reconnect the power cord.
    5. Wait 5 seconds, then press the power button to turn on the Mac.

    Reset the SMC a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro retina or the MacBook Pro with an internal non-removable battery

    This is how to reset the SMC on most modern Mac laptops, which none have a removable battery:

    1. Stop your MacBook Air / MacBook Pro
    2. Plug the power adapter to the Mac
    3. On the MacBook / Pro keyboard, hold down the command + Option + shift and the power button at the same time
    4. All the keys and the power button of output at the same time - the little light on the MagSafe adapter can change colors briefly to indicate that the MSC has reset
    5. Start your Mac as usual

    Keep in mind that by resetting the SMC you lose specific power settings, like the time he takes sleep a Mac and other customizations to the power settings. Not much, but if you have made many changes to your behavior of material you want to address things like behavior of sleep again.

    Boot time after resetting a SMC machines can be a little longer that usual, it's normal.

    Stop and start again, and this fixed everything for me...

  • Satellite 2450-201: slow startup and shutdown

    I HAVE A SATELLITE 2450-201 AND I RUN ON WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION, I DID A REGISTRY CLEANER EVERYBODYS USERNAME USING REGISTRY FIX 5.5

    THE WINDOWS BAR GOING ALONG AT LEAST 15 - 20 TIMES TO HELP START!

    Hello

    Maybe you've connected to some external devices to slow down the start-up procedure. You can also try to disable all the hardware components you n t need (modem. IrDA). Also check out which device is defined in a first start time (I hope that the HARD drive).

    For slow closing is responsible only running processes that should be forced disconnected. It all depends on your own configuration and you are using external devices.

  • Windows XP Pro SP3 slow navigation and performance of the Internet network

    I am running a Windows SBS 2008 domain with 70 clients - many of which are Windows 7 Pro (and not affected by performance problems) and other clients are Windows XP Pro.  Recently, apply 2 updates to all Windows XP clients to a problem of double authentication with RDP Server 2008 platform - two updates are http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969084 (install the RDC 7.0 client upgrade) and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951608 (adds the registry entry in Windows XP to enable CredSSP).  Now, the patches of handsets allow RDP clients to Server 2008 platform and enter the credentials of the user only once.

    However, given that these updates have been applied, about 7 of 20 Windows XP clients are extremely slow performance when searching for network resources (sharing drives, Outlook / MS Exchange and Internet browsing synchronization).  Not sure if the 2 patches are coincedental or related.  I tried rewriting changes from two patches, drivers NETWORK card and even tried to replace the NETWORK adapter with new ones.  No change in performance.

    However, can I uninstall / reboot / reinstall the Client of Microsoft Networks and clients perform as expected.  Over time (sometimes), the problem reappears.  I have been through the event logs and don't see any errors that indicate a failure to communicate on the network.  All clients receive assignments IP from the DHCP server and updates are managed via WSUS.

    Ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  • HP Pavilion Touchsmart - hard drive failure

    My hardly used HP Pavilion Touchsmart is extremely slow and even a simple operation like 'save' used to take hours. I did a check of HDD on login and this resulted in the following result:

    HDD SMART Check: past

    Hard drive short DST: FAILURE

    FAILURE ID: PQDVW2-6PL7RA-MFPWXG-6OU603

    Product ID: D8Q11EA #ABU

    Earlier on, I had a startup problems, so I gave her the laptop for curries that have indicated that they add a new hard drive.

    So not sure that the problem has been resolved, but I have a hard drive failure.

    How do I rectify this? All solutions?

    Thank you.

    Each time the short hard drive DST test fails with 24 alphanumeric characters "PQDVW2-6PL7RA-MFPWXG-6OU603" which indicates that the hard drive has failed and which needs to be replaced to solve the problem

    This problem could be due to an Application or a driver conflict, virus issues, corruptions of files due to incompatible applications, incorrect judgments, update failures due to conflicts, mounted sudden power so portable, sudden falls etc...

    HP will offer a replacement HDD if the laptop warranty is Active, otherwise you can buy a SATA hard drive in a nearby retail store

    Please make sure that you get at least equal as long as the original one in order to use recovery disks. If you need you can buy a bigger, but not smaller hard drive capacity. For example, if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can improve it to 750 GB hard drive, but not 320 GB hard drive

    Please try the troubleshooting below indicated once the steps:

    Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the power adapter AC.

    Step 02. Press and hold the power button for more than 30 seconds

    Step 03. Plug the AC power adapter / (leave the battery for now)

    Step 04. Press the power button and check if the unit is operating normally

    If the steps listed above is not enough, then you can try reinstalling the hard disk on your laptop

    If the problem persists again please Contact HP if your HP laptop is under warranty, HP could replace the hard drive and provide recovery media to restore the operating system to factory after the replacement (if you have not yet created recovery disks/USB support)

    Note: Back up all personal data on an external drive if possible. Otherwise, you can connect the HDD defective via SATA USB adapter with another PC or a PC even after replacing the HARD drive & put in place of the operating system and try to copy / retrieve files.

    It s 2 GHz speed and 2 GB memory.
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    You slow startup and startup has nothing to do with the HARD drive space.
    Your laptop could start slowly, due to a large amount of processes that run in the context of the operating system!

    What you could do, is first the msconfig and disable unnecessary applications in the Startup tab.

    Use some applications cleaning CCLeaner (tool free) i.e. to clean the operating system and the registry. Last but least could not defragment the HARD disk to improve performance.
