Re: Performance very slow Satellite C855-1GN - startup procedure takes 15 min

My sister bought a Satellite C855-1GN installed with Win7 64bits in December (typical - 4 days of warranty now) and for a time found it getting more slower.

She asked me to take a look for her, and she is quite right, that this laptop is appalling insensitive to even the most basic tasks such as opening Windows Explorer, which takes more than a minute to open.

It's a similar story about any button on this machine, sometimes longer depending on what has been clicked. Getting even the startup thing of press office being visible (and even less usable) takes a staggering 15 minutes more.

Text input, such the password of user to connect to Windows, or a URL in any browser (IE and chrome installed by default) causes the circle of rotation equivalent to an hourglass at least 60 seconds before anything happens, as does pretty much any click button. For example, Windows Start button or right click on anything whatsoever.

Initially, I suspected some kind of malware / too much garbage installed. A ran full scans, no problem. Disabled / uninstalled all the bloatware, that I could find, still no difference.
Close all the features, always terribly slow for energy savings.

Windows experience / Task Manager / resmon all report nothing out of the ordinary or anything by eating resources. In desperation, provided Out Of Box Experience with the help of the hidden restore partition... who took more than 24 hours to complete, and is not an exaggeration.

I went to bed, then work during the day, and he had not yet finished until I had been home for a couple of hours.

This machine now has a completely new (although specific Toshiba) install Win7, and runs just as horribly slow. I'm still waiting for the office, 17 minutes after power on before typing this. It took several resets and is yet to install anything.

6 GB of RAM is ample. While not a P3, 5 or 7, there is no way that an Intel B950 double heart clocked to a class, certainly not top than 2.10 GHz can be this slow (that is a few months ago), I had the terrible Celeron in my time, which were infinitely faster than that.

Has anyone else had a performance of same pathos of this model? If so, we are anyone of you is able to solve it? Or should we bin just this paperweight?

Hello

In the past, we've discussed several times on similar problems, and some people were dissatisfied with the performance of the portable nine pre-installed with original recovery image.
Small example, you can check this thread. In general it is described you can do with this machine. You, I prefer to use the word optimize operating system preinstalled. It will run better and faster.

Otherwise it can also be problem with HARD drive. If your sister love this machine, I recommend a small investment in new hardware. Exchange HARD SSD drive. SSD aren't so cheap anymore so you can buy one, I would say, with 250 GB and I think that there is enough free space for their work.

You can't imagine how fast they are. I use on my old P500. Laptop starts in just 40 seconds.

I m pretty sure with new SSD and optimized original Win7 that you got your sister with this laptop will have a good and pretty fast machine.

    Thanks for the comments and advice

    Hi Pete

    As you know most laptop performance depends on configuration personal because laptop comes with factory settings should work well. Many users have own and favorite configuration and sometimes it can totally choke with the operating system and make it very, very slow and annoying for its use.

    As much as I know the M60 is a pretty powerful unit with a good graphics card and the performance of God game. The keyboard problem is known, but it must also be resolved through replacement of keyboard (M60 is the first laptop with NUMPAD).

    I'm sure that with the right software, your device configuration will work very good and stable.

  • Need some drivers WXP 64 bit for my Satellite C855 1GN

    Hello

    Now I have 64-bit of Windows XP Home edition running on my Satellite C855 1GN.
    Could someone find a link for the wireless, chipset and audio if possible?

    Thank you very much

    As much as I know Toshiba has never supported WXP 64 bit. In other words, I think that Toshiba has never installed this version on any laptop model. As you know also WXP is history and not even Microsoft offer support to get it out it will be very difficult to find some drivers for it, especially the chipset.

    Just FYI: your portable computer has Realtek RTL8723AE WLAN card inside.
    Have you tried to install Win7 64 bit driver WLAN? Check it on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

    The chipset is Chipset Mobile Intel HM70 Express to check if you can find something on Intel download section.

    It's very problematic with new laptops models and the older operating systems.

    Hello

    You are able to access the advanced boot menu by pressing F8 while turning on the unit?

    If you are able to do so, you should try to start the computer using one of the advanced options available in the start menu.

    You can try to start the laptop computer using the last known good configuration or you can try to repair the system by automatically selecting the repair my computer option, you can try to start the machine in safe mode to access important data on the HARD drive.

    Finally (after data backup) I would recommend to recover the laptop using the Toshiba recovery media

  • Function keys do not work on my Satellite C855 1GN

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C855-1GN, I received as a gift for Christmas.

    I just have it for all my college work, but I noticed my function keys changed round.
    Usually when I hold the FN, is for the f1 to f12 keys but suddenly it's the other way around and that's what the key is for example (brightness, etc.).

    Now it seems simple, but I found that not the case...

    I was in the BIOS and I checked the settings and changed them several times, but still the value of special function parameters, it does not work.

    I've been on the HWsetup and checked, but even once, even the special function value, it fails to work.
    I tried various keyboard shortcuts suggested by people because the key fn is 'locked' or however they described, but still I can't understand what has happened and how to restore it.

    I can't stand my laptop being that I just got used to it and use the other keys MUCH more than the F-keys.
    Please can someone help me?

  • Very slow Satellite Pro A100

    Has just been given a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 computer laptop and it works very very slow.

    When no programs are running, the Task Manager process tab indicates that the laptop is about 95% idle, but the performance tab around 50% or more.

    I ran anti-virus, cleaned a lot of software that I use, XP (service pack 3) update and different drivers, but it works still slow.

    I guess I have to re - install XP, but unfortunately I don't have a copy the disk recovery product that came with the laptop.

    Anyone know if I will be able to get your hands on a copy of this disc.
    If it helps, I have two drives available for other XP laptops that I own, but I don't think I'll be able to use them to reinstall this copy of XP using the label of serial number 25-digit number based on the laptop.

    Hello!

    It is possible that it s a software problem, but it might be the case.
    What antivirus or security software internet you use? Have you tried to install another, for example AntiVir?
    In addition, you can do many things to improve performance. Defragment the HARD disk, disable startup programs, clean the registry for example and to this day. Google will help you learn more.

    Finally and above all it is possible to order a recovery disc. So, contact the nearest authorized service provider in your country.

    The transfer of data should be the same under Vista and XP.
    I think that you have installed an antivirus that scans all files during data transmission.

    Please disable it!

    By the way;
    If you notice a slow, data transfer Windows Vista try disabling Remote Differential Compression

  • very slow Satellite Pro 6100

    Hello

    First: sorry for my English, but it's very bad * G *.

    Now my problem:
    After reinstalling (windows XP), the SP6100 is very slow. The system always have 100% CPU usage regardless of what program I'm starting. It is not the bios (latest version and all the stalls on the CPU power) and not the HARD drive, I have tested yesterday night and completely zero formatted. But the problem is there too, also with linux or Windows 2000.

    I don't understand, because before I reinstall the system, NB has been very rapid.

    Does anyone now a response, so I put the laptop?

    Welcome,
    Bastian

    Hello Bastian

    You reinstall the operating system using the original recovery CD or Microsoft WXP (full version)? As far as I know this camera comes with Windows XP Home edition Professional. Am I right about that?

    There are many reasons that can make the much slower system, installation of SP2 or maybe extra software. Check please the process running in the Task Manager. Maybe there are some of them that you don't need, but can be reason for memory and CPU use.

  • Message pane Thunderbird very slow to load at startup RESOLVED caused by software malware newpoptab

    The use of Thunderbird 38.3.0 Windows 7

    When I run Thunderbird, the tools and the right folder pane display bars outside, but the message pane is not empty - no column header, no list of messages. It stays like that for about 15 seconds. Then the headers and the message list view, and after that, I get my new email. There is no performance problem after that, everything works as it should. There is only a problem at startup.

    I regularly compact mailboxes and I uninstalled/rebooted/reinstalled.

    This problem started two days when my browser has been hijacked and trying to undo, I thought that I might have deleted something Thunderbird needs, so I reinstalled, but that it was not fixed.

    Any ideas on how to fix it? And thank you...

    Just to close this issue - as mentioned in my original post, this problem started when a browser hijacking, and it took a few days to finally get cleaned. This Thunderbird problem disappeared when the last of the malware newpoptab has finally cleaned out of the registry. So, in fact, a step in the process of cleaning of Firefox has solved this problem.

  • Heat and a very slow Satellite A75-S211

    I read on a post above that the air vents on the laptops can become dusty, so I vacumed both on the computer of my girlfriend (who is the computer problem here).

    Fans were executed at the top almost constantly for some time. I managed to remove three large dust balls (had to pick them across the screens). This does wonders for the fan speed that seem normal now, and I guess that heat is better, even if I haven't used the computer much more before.

    I downloaded a utility that I learned on another forum and determined that the processor was working about 40 degrees C, 104 F. I think it's maximum recommended, but I'm not sure. My questions are this (assuming the heat problem is, essentially, cured):

    is there a reduced efficiency as the computer takes to guard against overheating of the processor (I'm sure there is) and should be turned "off" once the temperature problem is solved (particularly if the question was for a long time)?

    are there programs diagnosis out there that can tell me if the processor is damaged by heat or any other cause?

    Thank you

    L

    Hi Larry,

    Assuming you are using the Toshiba Power Management utility rather than the version of Microsoft then your laptop will usually follow a behavioral feature if the CPU is too hot.

    In general, as you have already discovered, fans will increase in speed and frequency until they work at top speed for most of the time (assuming that the power management utility is set for maximum performance). If the CPU is always too hot then the laptop is finally off himself in order to avoid any damage. However it is likely that the CPU you will get even hotter since turning off also stops the cooling fans.

    The Toshiba power management utility can also be set to change this behavior by slowing down the CPU in order to keep more expenses and thus reduce the noise caused by the cooling fans.

    After a reboot, the power management utility must return to its designated frame, which will be all you had set it initially.

    The thermal switch that controls the auto standby except in case of overheating of the CPU should have quite a high cost to ensure that the processor is not damaged.

    Kind regards

  • Cannot modify startup programs - very slow laptop computer at startup.

    Hi my laptop is running slow at startup, so I thought I would "change the startup programs" via the control panel.

    I get the message 'Windows Defender is disabled' then when I try to turn it on it freezes.

    I have Microsoft Security Essentials.

    This question was asked several times but no answers that I can see.

    Thank you

    MSE disables Defender by default, MSE has its own integrated version of Defender.

    You can try this from Microsoft:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

    See you soon.

  • Sourcefire DC 3500 performance very slow

    Hello

    I am running two 3500 DC devices in a high availability pair on DC version 5.4.1.2 and finds that most of the tasks on the GUI, including just connect, opening the dashboard, political editing and especially applies to policies, seems painfully slow.  According to what I am pulling upward, it may take 45 seconds to open any page and sometimes 3 + minutes to open a policy.  Could be just me picky, but it's the kind of performance that others see?  I find myself not wanting to open the pages lack of reaction.

    I recently tried to cut some of my data in the database of limits to see if that would help and it didn't.  I executed the script of DBCheck.pl of the CLI, and this resulted in a good number of warnings of db, but no error.

    Any ideas of things, I look to optimize performance?

    Your thoughts are appreciated.

    Hello

    No we don't have a loop script that fixes all the tables. And apart from that, there is also a script for the optimization of the tables. In addition, you can also check the number of connection on your defense Center events and to check on the card the maximum number of & supported.

    I would definitely say you can open evidence of the TAC, so that they can provide you with scripts accordingly.

    Kind regards

  • my computer is very slow to start up it will take 20 minutes so that it lights up. It wasn't like that when I got it. I did everything so he can go faster, but it used except if there's something I didn't do or I have viruses. Could you help me?

    Sometimes takes long start m wireless works and sometimes it doesn't. I could start it 3 times before that everything will work. It also freezes on me trying to get on it.

    You can have hardware failures. Repeatedly need to push the power button indicates a possible power supply problem, although other components could certainly be defective. So first make sure that the material is strong.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

    On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
