Portege A100 suddenly started going very slowly

Hello

I have a Portege A100, which suddenly began to go very slowly. It takes 5 minutes to load completely upward when it was much faster. I tried to reload Windows on it several times, but as soon as you start loading other pieces of software on the speed significantly deteriorates.

I also tried to use software to completely clean the hard drive before Windows on it but this does not solve the problem either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello David

I had a similar behavior on my old satellite 1900. At the end I checked the HARD drive and there are lots of bad sectors. At the beginning everything was OK, but after the installation of a few different satellite applications was slower and slower.

In the end, I switched HDD and everything was OK again. I recommend you to check the HARD drive to see if there are some bad sectors. If so buy new HARD drive. Repair of sector help much.

  • MacBook Pro (3-inches, mid-2012) suddenly started running very slowly; Beach balls very common

    About a week and a half, it started running very slowly with the spinning beach balls popping up all the time.  This reminds me of how when I have too many tabs of the browser as in the past, but now, even with browsers had closed, open Word or Skype is really slow.  (I'm sorry for any confusing formulation; I'm not very computer customer connected, unfortunately!)

    Some of the things I've tried so far and EtreCheck below):

    -safe mode

    -detection of hardware problems (control + D)

    -reset the PRAM

    -using the utility disc for repair/first care; also check

    -wipe the hard drive and reinstalling original OS X Lion (was still slow with beach balls; I tried to install OS X El Capitan to see if that would help, but installation could not finish)

    -wipe the hard drive and restarting from a backup previous (one month before the problems started)

    Thank you in advance for your answers - I'm just at a loss for what could be the real problem!

    You Mbps HARD drive is suspect.  Start the recovery (COMMAND-R) partition and select in menu 4 disk utility.  Run disk utility > first aid > repair.

    Unrelated, but your battery has seen a lot of use.  I suggest to replace.

    Ciao.

    I can't be sure of what you said, but it looks like it is very
    probably that you are infected with malware.

  • Download Thunderbird is going very slowly then freezes before completing.

    I try to download Thunderbird and won't have a chance. The download starts, but it is going very slowly. After several minutes, he seems stuck around 2%. Then it slowly moves to 4%. I left it for an hour and he did not move from there. Any other download this same volume (28 MB) coming almost instantly. I have tried different browsers, different PCs, disabled antivirus (Windows Defender), empty the browser cache, and checked my specifications. The same thing happens again. A computer I tried is a Compaq Windows 8 with 2 GB of RAM and 1 GHz processor. The other is a Dell Windows 7 with 4 GB of RAM and 2.6 GHz processor. Both are x 64. Anyone else having this problem or knows how to solve? Is this a server problem or something wrong on my end? Thank you.

    If you have devices non-essential attached to the system, unplug them. Windows XP Setup may attempt to detect them.

    If you have more than one hard drive installed, disconnect all except the drive that you plan to install Windows XP on.

  • HP 1217 starts printing VERY slowly. A web page took 15 minutes to start printing!

    My HP1217 takes a LONG time to start printing. A web page took 15 minutes. A 5-page report took 10 minutes.

    That this has something to do with the pages visited on the computer? My computer is about 4 years old. It isn't real fast, but is not true slow either. It runs Windows 7.

    Any guidance on this?

    I can do something for this speed?

    Wow! I have reinstalled drivers, restarted the computer, restart the printer, and it seems to work perfectly. Maybe it was the drivers...

  • First 10 items goes very slowly on a PROJECT

    I'm about at the end of my rope here, so I hope someone can help. I've been running first Elements 10 on my laptop for several years now and the project that I'm getting is so mired, I can't do anything, but there is nothing in this that I can suss out which explains why.

    My laptop is a Dell XPS, processor i7-2630QM, Windows 7 (64-bit), 6 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 550 M.

    I've never had a problem in the past. And, in fact, if I open the old projects, I don't have a problem now. It's just the project that I'm working on. If I move a clip, resize a clip, add a cache to a clip, whatever it is, the system failed for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. If I play the timeline, it will go for a minute, then the preview stops with the audio continues, and I won't be able to stop it or to do anything else.

    At first, I thought it was because a clip in the tray was an element of gameplay 1080 p for four hours, I went in my capture card software and broken up into four clips of long hours, which is in line with what I had in the past projects. Not fix her. I saw some people saying that images (png, jpg, etc.) can cause problems, so I removed most of the fixed frames. Did not help. Something about this project does not run, but I'm running out of ideas on where to look. Previous projects that are still working fine when I load them upward have roughly the same amount of images, but they are not bogged down like that. Does anyone have an idea what I'm looking for? Some things about some clips or the files in the location of project? No matter what? Settings?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm surprised to hear that the first items 10 gave you problems with previous projects with excerpts of gameplay and MP4s as your video shakewell, source. As I said, version 10 is relatively primitive, as far as working with various video sources goes. Since version 11, the program is much more versatile. I don't even know if version 10 can change MP4s natively. You'd better turn your Canon AVCHD video - or one considering a move to a new version of the program.

  • 5.5 Flash is going very slowly. Tips to speed up?

    I do a hand drawn animation Flash 5.5 and now my program is going so slow, that it takes 3-5 seconds for the program to realize that I rubbed through frames. There is no virus running in the background scanner, my program is up to date and I wouldn't consider not so to speak the program "full." There is a little less than five seconds of the animation on doubles on the timeline.

    (Please note that I don't know much about Flash as a program. I do mainly animation frame-by-frame on a computer and that's it. Nothing complicated in this project.)

    Any help would be appreciated. : )

    Create a new directory and save your fla (with a new name) in this directory.  Restart your computer and then open this new fla in flash cs 5.5 and see if it behaves better.

  • PSC 2175 printing very slowly

    Hello

    My HP psc 2175 all-in-one suddenly started printing very very slowly.

    No new drivers have been installed, or any other configuration change was made, so I have no idea what could have happened.

    Any clue?

    Thnks.

    Hello Soldadoryan, there are a few reasons for this. In simple terms, it could be due to the age of printers and use. Maybe this isn't the case in this case, however.

    Power supply from the printer is connected directly to a wall or connected by a surge protector? Visitors are often surprised the difference in performance when they connect the power supply directly into a wall socket because our printers have built in surge protector.

    After to change that, I would recommend checking and updating the firmware of the printer if necessary. The document here will guide you through this just to solve this problem.

    I hope this helps!

  • 7851D HPF: HPF 7851D prints very slowly (see docs swiped photos)

    Hi my printer recently started printing very slowly. Its as if she "sees" the word documents, PDF etc. because it they are pictures. I can't see anything in the properties to change that.

    What I think happened recently is I upgraded from Windows 8 to 10.

    Any help would be great.

    Thank you

    I recommend removing your current driver and by downloading and installing the latest driver from hp.com.

    I recommend you find the driver on hp.com before you remove the existing driver.

    Sometimes he'll get into windows and I want to use it then suddenly stop responding completely.
    It does this in SafeMode as well ad from a cold start.

    The strange thing is that it seems to be triggered physically sometimes but I couldn't swear to it and maybe it's just a coincidence.

    any ideas?

    Hello

    Description seems you very strange because the question what you described happens sometimes. Eventually it s only a software malfunction?
    How the operating system is running on the laptop?

    What do you think of the resettlement using the recovery CD?
    This relocation and new OS can sometimes solve problems of frizzing.

    But if the portable feed then you should try another suggestion.
    You must remove the power supply and adapter of the laptop. Then wait several times (10-15 min). Put the power supply in the laptop and connect the power adapter.

    Then, launch Notepad.

    How much RAM you have on your system? (Right click on "My Computer"-> properties)

    As a general rule, Windows XP does not work well if you have less than 1 GB or more of RAM.  What usually happens is that your RAM capacity is exceeded leading to overflow on virtual memory (the drive) to compensate for the need of RAM in the computer.  This causes your system to beat on your hard drive and slow down your system.

    If this is your problem, the options are to increase the RAM on your system or decrease the non-essential programs that launch at startup on your computer using a tool like Autoruns.
