Satellite C50D-B-120 is slow

I bought 2 satellite C50D-B-120 pscn4e-00x00qen and both are very very slow.
the touchpad freezes and even browse the web is a battle.

I can't even watch videos on you tube, I bought 2 and they are 4 days old

something is very wrong.

Hello

What you wrote in your first assignment is the theme that we have on this forum for years. New laptops are slow. You can find old discussions on slow start or portable bad performance. There is nothing new.

To be honest my laptop with 'presets' was too slow.

When you get the new notebook you will get it with the factory settings. It is pre-installed with recovery image that includes the system operation, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and some additional software. For example, the default installation of Windows updates is set to automatic. In other words, your system will detect the updates and install them without asking you. Can you imagine what happens with performance if updates of 10 MB will be downloaded and installed in the background without asking you? The HARD drive will be very busy and very slow laptop.

What you need is the optimization of the operating system. Remove all the unnecessary stuff from the system. Turn off all the unnecessary stuff start. Disable automatic update of windows.

Configure the preinstalled OS so that you simply use applications and background processes that you really need.

I did the same thing on my computer and it works much better than before. 5 months I've updated with SSD. Now, it goes very quickly and I can say with certainty: it was a very good investment.

  • Satellite C50D-B-120 seems to be slow

    Has anyone else had problems with this laptop model?

    Mine seems slow but on further review that this is indeed the parties stop and start intermittently and not all at once.

    The keyboard and touchpad are more obvious because the cursor seems to stutter on and often typed letters do not appear on the screen for a few seconds.

    WiFi also cuts out intermittently as well as Ethernet and other ports.

    Also I tried to do a factory reset which takes no more than 20-25 minutes to write the recovery disk 'C' partition, but it takes more than 3 hours! This time does not include the implementation of the laptop after the reset.

    What should I do with what it is unusable and only bought new at argos, 2 weeks ago.

    Satellite C50D-B-120 seems to be equipped with 4 GB of RAM only...
    I think an upgrade to 8 GB would be desirable.

    Also the applications and the amount of the process that runs in the background can slow down the laptop and the system performance.

    What you can try to do is to clean the system using CCleaner.
    Also turn off some nonessential processes that start when the system starts.

    Playing games is very slow and designates some games, which is timed, I can't play at all.

    Typing this was OK and the mouse does what I want to do, but whatever it is online is a nightmare.

    Help! or tell me, if I bought a piece of crap!

    I'm having the same problem. Is there a way to sort I wonder except take it back to the place that he provided!

  • Satellite C50D-B-120: refresh your pc - it will delete all files

    Hello

    I'm looking at a friends by Satellite C50D-B-120. It does not start. There OpenOffice files on it, but I don't know exactly where. If I try the "Refresh your PC" option troubleshooting it will delete all files?

    Thank you

    Matt

    Hi Matt

    I found very interesting Toshiba technical support document in the Knowledge Base, and I think it might be useful to you.

    Windows Recovery 8 & repair
    APS2. Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm

    The 'Refresh' option is primarily a repair technique. It is a good method to return your PC to a known good state while preserving your files and a large part of your configuration. With the option "Refresh your PC", accounts of users, data files and some settings are retained on your PC without the need to create a backup or make choices about what to keep or delete.

    This means that the data should not be affected by using the update your PC option.

  • Satellite C50D-B-120 - install Windows 7 drivers

    Hi all

    Could really do with some help on the Satellite C50D-B-120 / pscn4e.

    Wipe the drive and did a clean install of Windows 7, all the updates that are applied etc.

    I downloaded all the Toshiba drivers for the model and install them, but have the following problem:

    In Device Manager, there are 3 things that are not installed:

    -SM Bus controller
    -USB Controller (assuming USB 3, like USB 2 works)
    -Unknown device

    Is it me maybe install things in the right order? Or if the machine is not fully supported on Windows 7.

    Also, the dimming/volume/wifi etc screen function keys... do not work.

    Can anyone shed some light on these questions, because I'm at the end of my home now!

    Thanks in advance
    James

    I checked Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/dow...ivers_bios.jsp and all drivers for Win7 64 bit are available for your laptop is fully supported.
    Have you installed all of them (pilot listed 31)?

    Try to identify the unknown device with vendor and device research - http://www.pcidatabase.com/

    The specification of this notebook is not known to me, but you can try with Atheros. If there is no result doesn't install Broadcom.

    You have this machine with pre-installed Windows 8.1 (all drivers are included)?
    I want to say if you ve had with OS preinstalled what the problem with the wireless network card?

  • My new Satellite C50D-138 runs really slow

    Just above for laptop and really disappointed that it is so slow. I did not put new software on it but just loading internet is a real drag. I need only to basic internet surfing and create word documents so do not have a high performance computer, but it takes all 30 sec - 1 min to load a Web page. Is this normal?
    See the full specifications below. Thank you very much.

    LAPTOP TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50D-138, AMD E1-2100, 2 GB, 500 GB, WINDOWS 8.1, 15.6 "
    Toshiba C50D-138 is ideal for computer daily or basic use, with E1-1200 AMD Dual Core processor and 2 GB of memory.

    The 500 GB hard drive also lets that you space to save all your pictures, music and files.

    Enjoy your favorite movies on your built-in DVD player and talk via Skype through the webcam and built-in microphone.

    Bluetooth 4.0 is installed so as to have the option of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 to transfer data.

    The black chassis has a textured finish that allows to eliminate the traces of finger and gives a classic look.

    A lot of people on this forum topic reports similar. You must understand that for laptop with factory settings is not optimized, and each of us must make own configuration of operating system.
    For example, new notebook will do the automatic updates of Windows. With other words when Windows detects new updates it will download and installed in the background and that you know something like this running in the background. This will slow down the activity internet and laptop performance quickly.

    I recommend to install all Windows updates and change the settings in Control Panel > windows update > change settings. Use the option check the updates but let me choose... in the future you will be informed of the updates, but you can install them when you don't need machine for your work.

    Test it please

  • Satellite C50D-A-134 - very slow internet connection

    Hello
    In may, I bought a Saturday C50D-A-134.

    From the very beginning. The internet speed is very slow - Wifi or cable.

    That's what I did:

    Installed the latest drivers (LAN and Wifi)
    Installed latest Bios Update

    Contact internet provider: everything is checked - no problem of provider. (my other laptop on the same network speed gets speeds up to 10 times faster. So it really isn't a provider problem.

    There is no adware installed - it is not a problem of viruses (checked with several programs avast - malwarebytes etc.)

    Can someone help me

    The laptop seems to be equipped with 10/100 (10 Mbits / 100Mbit) Base-TX Ethernet LAN module. T
    It modulates Atheros WB335 WLan supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and supports 150Mbps.

    So for me the hardware configuration seems good and to be honest I don't think that there is a hardware / driver problem

    As you have pointed out the similar problem with both modules (WLAN and LAN) I recommend you to reset the router even if other devices are not affected.

    By the way: what do you exactly mean by slow?
    Can you give us a few values?

  • Satellite C50d-A-138 is slow and crashes

    Hello

    I've had my laptop for 2 weeks, but it crashes and is incredibly slow.
    Please help any advice would be great

    Can you please tell us what model phone you have and what you mean with portable guard crashing?

    Each laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system. All the drivers, tools and utilities installed and configured correctly. We do not know what exactly you're doing with your laptop and what software do you have installed also. Perhaps is there some conflict.

    If you are not happy, how your laptop works I recommend you to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery facility. After that make this laptop will be new factory settings. Next step should be the optimization of the OS. Remove the preinstalled software that you don't like or you don't need. Check Windows updates and change the settings for it. Do not use the automatic update option. This can slow down the cell if some updates are downloading and running in the background.

    One last thing: you have created medi of recovery?

  • Problem with the drive start satellite C50D-B-120

    I've recently updated to windows. My laptop computer was really slow lately, but today it is lit with impossible for the reader to boot disk
    my laptop is still under warranty

    I don't know what happened

    In the worst cases, your HARD drive is dead and you will have to replace it.
    But no doubt the HARD drive is still OK and you only need to reinstall the system.

    Go to BIOS (F2) and check if the HARD drive is recognized by the BIOS.
    It should appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If it is not listed, the HARD disk needs to be replaced.
    If it does not appear, reinstall the system using the Toshiba recovery media.

    If you have not created this recovery media in the past, you always have an option to order this missing disk recovery.

    I just bought this new laptop. I have updated to Windows 8 Windows 10. Everything worked fine before the update. I am now active on Windows 10 and the mouse pad does not work. Initially, the entire mouse pad not working, I couldn't even move the mouse on the screen. I had a play around in the settings and have managed to get the work of the mouse, but now the button of mosuepad. I searched around the computer for the settings to solve this problem, but I had no luck.

    Please any help would be great, begin teaching and could do with getting this issue sorted.

    Thank you!

    You need to uninstall the driver for the touchpad (MOMENTUM or Synaptics)
    After that, restart the laptop...

    You can also try to update the driver in Device Manager... but the unit must be connected to the internet...
