Running very slow 64-bit Windows 7

I installed windows 7 on my Pc. plug below

Processor: Dual Core E8400 2 x 3.0 G
Memory: 4 GB of Ram (4 x 1 GB 800 mhz DDR2)
Graphics card: GeForce 9500GT SLI 1 GB GDDR2
HARD drive: Maxtor Diamond Max 500 GB

When I open any program whether the Explorer, Media Player etc. My processor climbs to 51% and memory 42 to 43% and the Pc becomes impractical. The flashes of light Hdd 1/2 sec on, 1/2 Sec off (solid) as a warning light!

Itys like that for perhaps 20-30 sec according to the opening of Im app. Once opened, it works fine

Someone can explain why this is happening, do I have to change to 32 bit.

Arrival of the day, I have installed. I checked for malware and viruses. All clear.

Thank you

Marshond,
Try a clean boot to see if the performance improves at all, after that, we can begin to refine things still further:

Clean boot

Test in an environment of clean boot to see if this problem is related to the interference of other programs / services:

1. start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.)

2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

5. click on OK.

6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

7 log on to your account.

---------------------------------------------------

If the problem does not reappear when your computer is in clean boot mode, a background program probably causes interference.

---------------------------------------------------

You can determine which background program is causing the problem by following the steps (start enable half the Services points) in the related article:

How to perform a clean boot procedure to determine if background programs are interfering with a game or a program that you currently use

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

---------------------------------------------------

To restore your Normal startup:

1. start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.)

2. in the general tab, click Normal startup.

3. When prompted, click on restart.

    Some games run very slow on Windows 8 as (chicken Invasion "v1, v2, v3" in red alert 2, Age of Empire 2)
    but on Windows 7 on the same Machine perform perfectly, I tried to install DirectX,.

    Wrong, wrong, wrong.

    This is entirely based on compatibility to a level beyond what is offered in the standard "Windows compatibility" section.  In addition to this, everything you said had absolutely nothing to do with the question.  This has nothing to do with starting or whatever it is in the same direction.

    What is happening is that something is interfering with the normal functioning of the game because of changes in the kernel of the operating system because it has been updated / rewritten since the inception of Windows XP.

    @SOVIETTION
    The most likely solution for you has nothing to do with the videobuffer here is how fix you it:

    Find the Red Alert installation directory and find the file * md.ini.
    In revenge for Red Alert 2/Yuri, it will be 'RA2MD. INI"(feel free to make a backup of the file before proceeding)
    Open it with your favorite text editor (Notepad for most people)
    Scroll down until you find the section [Video]
    Just below you will add this line-
    VideoBackBuffer = no
    Save the file in the same place and load the game.

    Enjoy!

    The VideoBackBuffer = none works perfectly, but in my case I also had to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2.

    Bravo for you!

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • I just bought a new computer.it has windows 7 64 bit operating system, it is good with the exception of my call of duty games running, they used to run very well on my windows vista 32 bit system, what is the problem?

    There are video games that are compatible with windows 7 64 bit operating systems?

    Hello Peter.

    Yes almost all games in 10 years works perfectly on 64-bit Windows.  What Call of Duty games are you having problems with?  If the first two, you might have to enter the video drivers for your graphics card/computer manufacturer as the first two required OpenGL which is not included with the drivers that Windows uses by default (this has been the case since at least Windows XP).

    I used win 8 during a time and games have been works ok.
    So I decided to install a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

    I downloaded all the drivers from toshiba support and it seems to work fine until I started the same game I played before.

    He was running very very slow even on low graphics settings.

    No idea of what went wrong after the win 7 installation?

    Maybe the game uses the Intel HD internal graphic that is part of the Intel Core i7-3630QM processor?

  • Firefox runs very slowly after updating Windows 10

    Saturday, December 12, 10 Windows spent an age of update itself, with several reboots. Since then, the navigation is horribly slow with Firefox, although my internet connection is always very well (fast my Smartphone using Microsoft Edge). I have two PCs, and both seem to have been affected in the same way. Using the Task Manager, I see that Firefox uses a lot of CPU most of the time - often more than 50%. Even typing and scrolling are very slow, not just downloading.
    I disabled all my add-ins and plug-ins, run in safe mode, rebooted and reinstalled Firefox without result. So far, I'd say that Firefox is the fastest browser. I think that Firefox updated itself 42.0 version a few days, so I have a suspect that this slowdown has occurred just after a Windows Update.

    Update: Windows update itself again today and, like magic, Firefox is again well. So problem solved.

  • just bought ghostbusters game pc, but it is very slow on my WINDOWS VISTA Home premium... of suggestions?

    I installed the game ghostburters on windows vista Home premium with service Pack 1 and it runs very slowly, I tried the upgrade a few things bo nothing helps.

    whay can I do to improve the speed?

    Well, that may depend on how fast your computer is.  Games have the system requirements listed on the box or the Web site that you downloaded from.  Your computer should generally be at or better than the recommended settings.  Otherwise games will run slowly or not work.  If the game runs slow, in general, you can buy a graphics card faster to make it go more quickly, but it depends greatly on this kind of material you have in your computer now.
