Recent Windows performance issues

So, recently, my computer (Windows 7 in early 2011) began to suffer form one point turning the monitor and speakers suddenly glitching upward during the severe activity on the screen and stop responding, requiring a hard reset. First of all, I noticed to happen in my screen that caused this problem: when the screensaver runs it would freeze finally in place, often with truncated graphics cluttering the screen. Days after that got passed, every time I had to play a game on the computer, the screen would bug out and turn off the monitor (with the computer always, oddly enough). so I have to unplugg the power cord and fiddled with the power button up to what she is. Days later, I tried to clean the dust off of surface the computer (including Sockets), hoping it would solve part of the question. I can't really say, it was the case, and after that I tried to install an antivirus program, I was suggest you download from a friend of mine (Avast! (Free), I started seeing the slower start on my computer.

This is what happens whenever I try to start my PC after my many attempts to fix the situation: it takes a little more time to reach the Welcome screen than ever before and after about 10 seconds on the Welcome screen, it happens as another 10 seconds on a totally blank background, and then within 10 seconds following the background and Startup tab appears , then after another 10 all the desktop icons pop up and plays the welcome chime. (Top of the screen) docking station and all the widgets of office take a long time to appear (15 seconds, with widgets appearing beforehand). While I had the above errors (even several years own) all pretty much instantly appeared.

If I could get anything to restore my computer to its fast startup time and not defective screen, I would really appreciate it. Heck I wouldn't mind upgrading to Windows 8 so that I have all my data is transferred in advance so I don't need to set all my settings.

(1) run chkdsk as follows:

A prompt by right clicking and select "Run as Administrator"
and then at the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f r, then press the Enter key.

If you are asked to plan the volume to check the next time that the system/PC reboots,
Enter: y

Now, restart the PC.

If you know the manufacturing of your hard drive you can also download their diagnostic software.

Another use: SpeedFan has an online health analysis function
(SMART tab) for hard drives. It will show how your disks
compared with other discs of the same brand and model.

Note: Unfortunately now includes a lot of bloat-ware, be very careful when installing remove bloat-ware.

=====================================================================

(2) run the command SFC /SCANNOW. This will check and repair if necessary all of the critical Windows system files.

Click on start / all programs/accessories then
Right-click on the command prompt option and select "Run as Administrator".
(or "Safe Mode" open a command prompt)
At the command prompt, enter: SFC/scannow

  • HP Elitebook 8570p - Windows XP USB very slow and the transfer rate performance issues.

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone else knows some performance issues with the HP Elitebook 8570p and Windows XP Pro - SP3.

    I get a VERY slow start, general poor performance (waiting time when opening files and programs).

    I asked to burn in tests that show that everything is good.

    USB transfer rates are VERY slow (tried all ports of a Seagate FreeAgent USB drive, which works fine on other laptops etc.) for example a 30-minute transfer a 7gig single file of the USB HD on the desktop. Only 3 minutes to do the same on another laptop.

    I think there are problems with the drivers, like Windows 7 works very well and does boot from a bootable USB.

    USB transfer rate are also good when starting from a Windows boot environment.

    I installed HP SoftPaq Download Manager, and all the drivers are up to date.

    Hello:

    I think outside of the box here... Select the Intel (r) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller instead.

    If it does not, I raise the white flag.

  • Performance issues when coming out of sleep

    I recently built a gaming PC. On Christmas day, I finished putting the thing together. It has an Intel i7-4790 CPU running Intel HD Graphics, 8 GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM, an Asus Z97 - A Mobo and a 2 terabyte Seagate HDD. I installed Windows and put everything in place. Then a week later, my MSI GTX 970 arrived in the mail.

    So, I take the thing to sleep and decreases the performance of the whole thing. Videos YouTube stutter, simple as games fight of World of Tanks to run at its usual rate of 60 fps. To avoid this, I simply restart my comp and then it works fine. performance is back to normal.

    A few weeks, Windows gave me a message on one of the Nvidia drivers causing performance issues when you wake up from sleep. I don't think a lot of it and rejected it. I'll try to reinstall all my Nvidia drivers. I uninstall the Intel HD graphics driver a few days ago and has not changed anything. I would appreciate an answer to this problem because I would like to continue to use the "sleep mode" because it consumes less energy and prolongs the life of my case of LED. Thank you!

  • Performance issues with Photoshop CS6 64-Bit

    Hello-

    Issue at hand: in recent weeks, I noticed significant problems with performance since the last update PS CS6 using the Adobe Application Manager, from the unexpected shut downs to bring my computer to a crawl (literally, my cursor seems to crawl on my screens). I'm curious to know if anyone knows these issues, or if there is a solution I have not yet tried. Here is a list of actions that give rise to these performance issues - there are probably more that I have not experienced due to my frustration, or were not documented as occurring several times:

    • Opening files - results by hanging processes, takes 3-10 seconds to solve
    • Paste from the Clipboard - results by hanging processes, takes 3-10 seconds to solve
    • Saving files - takes 3-10 seconds to open the dialog box, another 3 to 10 seconds to return to the normal window (saving an image PNG compressed)
    • The eyedropper tool - will crash Photoshop on the desktop, or take 5 to 15 seconds to load
    • Try to navigate any menu - Photoshop crash on the office or take 5 to 15 seconds to load

    Attempts I took to solve this issue, which failed:

    • Uninstalled all fonts I have added since the last update (it's a pain in the *, thanks to be glitch Windows Explorer)
    • Uninstall and reinstall the application
    • Edition 32-bit use
    • Change process priority to above normal
    • Confirm the process for all available cores of the processor affinity
    • Change the configuration of the performance of Photoshop options
      • 61% of memory is available to Photoshop to use (8969 MB)
      • History States: 20; Cache levels: 6; Tile cache size: 1024K
      • Records of work: active on the production of SSD, ~ 10GB of available space
      • Dedicated graphics processor is selected (2 x nVidia cards in SLI)

    System information:

    • Intel i7 2600 K @ 3.40 GHz
    • 16 GB of RAM Dual Channel DDR3 memory
    • 2 x nVidia GeForce GTS 450 cards, 1 GB each
    • Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

  • Management performance issues and huge catalog

    I shoot architecture and real estate. I turn every day hundreds of frames and my current catalog becomes huge. I'm also starting to see a huge performance hit recently. Last night I just changed until 03:30 because LR would take some time as 20 seconds to perform a single task (like changing a slide or photo of the flag). A lot of time spinning beach ball. I have an external hard drive which I support to locally.

    What I was wondering is if I have everything except the most recent project files copy the disk external then keep it unplugged when I WIP edition if it would help performance issues?

    MacBook Pro (10.9.5) and LR CC running. I optimized my catalog and I also have a Cocktail for Mac running on my system to clean the memory, etc.

    Other ideas of huge catalogs management would be useful. I prefer not to make a new catalog for each customer that I shoot several each day and passing backward between catalog every day would be a pain in the thigh.

    Hi KristianWalker,

    Have you tried to increase/purge your Cache? See How to improve and accelerate the performance of Photoshop Lightroom for more ways to optimize Lightroom.

    Also what size is your catalog at the moment?

  • Adobe Air performance issues?

    I have recently finished a huge project in Adobe Muse and I love the new sensitive design tools. However, as the project continued to develop, Muse has become increasingly slow to react and interact with the sensitive cursor was almost impossible. As someone who worked for Apple, I'd be the first person to point the finger my Mac and offer to buy a new computer, but it is a new, maxed-out MacBook Pro 15 inches. All other Adobe CC applications work without problem. When Muse was first published, as I remember, it was written on top of the Adobe AIR platform, instead of being natively written in C++. That this has something to do with performance issues that I see? If so, is there something I can do to improve performance, I see?

    Air is not basis for Muse more for a long time. Nativly revised muse was released in early 2014.

    In my view, the Muse team works actively on performance boosts, but I think that we should not expect any miracle: no other application I know not a calculate and display real-time changing dynamically and the same objects interactively from time on endless pages in response.

    In my opinion, the only way to significantly increase the speed would be gray on all goods during the move of the scrubber.

    The server has 16 GB of Ram... way means that, due to limitations of 32-bit on windows only 4 GB of Ram was used and the 12 remaining GB is inactive?
    What is the proper way to tune?

    There are restrictions on how the memory beyond 4 GB can be used by Oracle. As far as I know, the memory is reserved for the buffer cache.

    Not all memory below the 4 GB limit is available for programs. Some of this memory is laid out in memory of the device, such as the video cards, RAID cache on board, etc., and some of the memory Windows is needed to track the objects window, icons, etc. Although it is possible to back up 2 GB per process limit to 3 GB, making Windows limit to use for its own purposes the memory that remains after the memory is drawn to embedded devices, and I think that the Oracle Metalink site does not recommend trying to go up the by the limit process completely to 3 GB. And this low by the process boundary should be reserved for the memory window. Your current value of pga_aggregate_target should be checked, because there is no way that the apparent present value could enter into the available memory.

    I agree with Martin - the best way to take full advantage of the memory is to pass on a 64-bit platform. Most, if not all the memory limit headaches disappear on a 64-bit platform. Of Windows 2003 Standard edition supports up to 32 GB of memory, this could be an option for you. It may or may not be a huge effort, but this means system loss of time (which can be considered a reason to call it a huge effort). You will probably find that the server, if less then three years, will support a 64 bit version of the operating system, but check the 64-bit versions of all the drivers are available and consider replacing hard disks containing the operating system if you need to return to the current operating system.

  • Version 6 of the Java performance issues

    It's kind of a continuation of the following thread:

    Performance of Java 1.6


    The question of the moose in the previous thread is not the issue. This is what came in the thread on the performace of Java 6 which I want to talk.


    My question is, is there anything new about the performance issues associated with Discoverer Plus and Java version 6? In my office (and others will benefit from its interventions to the referenced thread), we have problems of considerable achievements with Discoverer Plus (web version) with a PC with Java 6 on them. Some symptoms are: no no not able ge before the login screen, severe downturn PC or PC locked alltogether. To work around these problems, we were push PCs to Java version 1.4.2. Do the restore immediately takes care of the problems of slowness, lock up or connection problems. However, some of our applications in our office now requires Java Version 6. People who need new applications cannot use great Discoverer, because their Java version (Java 6), causes the discoverer to bog down.

    Is there a longer version and Java which took in charge the performance issues with the discoverer? Or maybe a patch. Our technicians helpdesk said that some versions of Java 6 had some security issues to consider. But as Java 6: update 11 had taken care of its security concerns. Update of Java 6 11 supported performance issues? Y at - it a patch for this version that made?



    Thank you

    Hello
    Certainly there is a performance issue if you have Java 1.4 on the server and Java 1.6 on the workstation. I hope you have discoverer 10.1.2.2, 10.1.2.3 with CP1, 2, or 4 or less CP6, you need to update Java on your server to equalize it with the version on your workstations. Some will say that older versions of 10.1.2.2 ok to upgrade Java on but I'm not sure.

    I recently mafe announcement on my blog which may help: http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2009/04/be-careful-when-upgrading-to-java-16.html

    You will also find interesting information in this note on MetaLink: 728452.1

    Also, once you have upgraded your Java Server I recommend clearing the cache of Java on stations of local work and using Add/Remove programs to remove all older versions. Some people go as far as the removal of all versions of local Java that allows the server to discoverer of re - install the required version.

    Best wishes

  • Performance issues when you build a large crossroads

    Hello

    I have a performance issues when you build a large crossroads.

    So here's my situation:

    We use Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.45.46c
    Database Oracle 9.2.0.6 on Windows 2003
    OAS 10.1.0.3
    1.5 GB of RAM on my PC

    -J' planned a workbook with 1 single worksheet that takes 2 minutes to run. The table generated in the database to store the results from 19 columns and rows to about 225000 (I know that's a lot, but it is what the customer needs).

    -When I opened the workbook, it takes about 2 hours to recover the data. The data is retrieved in groups of 1000 and at the beginning, the lines are read much faster than at the end. There are also 15 minutes more to build the crosstab. So overall, it takes 2 hours and 15 minutes for the crosstab display on my screen.

    Can someone explain to me:
    -Why does take so long?
    -What can I do to improve the execution other than changing the application or displaying the results in a regular tab? Is there some setting that I can do on the database of the Oracle Application Server?

    Note: I have reproduced the worksheet in a simple tab and demand it. The table generated in the DB to store the results is the same and it takes only 2-3 minutes to open this spreadsheet and extract all lines.


    Thank you!

    Mary

    Hi Mary
    If you have 225 000 lines in your basic spreadsheet, then it will take a lot of time to produce a crosstab. The reason is that Finder can not calculate how many buckets he needs until he has read all the data. I can almost guarantee that with 225 000 lines to read and manipulate that you are short of memory.

    You might be better suited someone create and populate a table with the results you need rather than try to get the discoverer to calculate values in crosstab on the fly. If the final result of the crosstab is a few lines of aggregated data, then this is what is right for your table. The advantage of using a table and a few SQL (or PL/SQL) is that you will not be using your local computer during the aggregation / sorting phase. Don't forget a crosstab also sort based on the values in the left columns, the columns you have aggregations (buckets) you will have and most necessary sort. Using a table, you can index or even partition the results that will make for a much faster recovery.

    As a tip, recommend Oracle, confirmed by myself during the exhaustive tests, no do not build large paintings to double entry due to the performance of touch that you will have. The tables are much more efficient because you can pull back x lines at once. You can't do that with a crosstab and all values must be read before that whatever it is is displayed.

    Does that help?
