Satellite C660-23rd - slow performance

Anyone can help solve my current problem with the Satellite C660-23rd?

It is likely the slowest competitor, that I have ever used. To perform any task on this machine has become extremely boring, opening even the internet explore takes at least a minute to load up not to mention the dispute between the tabs.

Is there a simple solution to this frustrating problem? Is it defective?

Thanks in advance

Are you using the original operating system preinstalled that you got with your laptop?

  • Re: Satellite C660 - new slow charge battery

    A few days ago, I bought a new battery (10.8V, 4400mAh) on Amazon (from Batterytec) for my Toshiba Satellite C660-13 q PA3817U-1BRS, 10.8V, 4200mAh.

    The problem is that this battery takes approximately 12 hours to charge: it is very very slow!

    I've done a complete charge cycle to calibrate and the battery life is 2 hours and 25 minutes, after calibration. With the original toshiba (fault) battery, I never had this problem.

    What can I do to solve the problem of the "slow charge"?
    What is a battery fault?
    such behavior is normal?

    Thanks in advance

    Have you bought original Toshiba with sticker Toshiba battery or it is another brand (universal battery)?

  • Satellite C660-108 - slow response keyboard

    The keyboard on my Satellite C660-108 is very slow in response. Some characters are not at all, some only after a short delay. It's very embarrassing when I type text and passwords (!) because I have to double check any type (and 1 / 3 words has spelling mistakes, because of the problem with keyboard)

    Is there a way I can troubleshoot what's the problem?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    As you can read in many other threads, you must update the BIOS to get rid of this problem.

    Toshiba has already published an article on what you need to do:

  • Satellite C660-1F1-Slow After recovering from DVD and fans constantly running

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1F1 has an i3 processor and I recovered from the recovery disks. A few days later, everything is very slow and the Fans are always at full speed, even at idle and there is no dust when I opened it and I replaced the thermal paste.

    All of the Suggestions.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try to optimize the OS version. Check the startup options and disable all applications that you don't need.
    Make sure that all unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. Remove the system from all things, that you don't need.
    Play a little with it.

  • Satellite A200-1TW - slow performance even with a SSD HARD drive

    I replaced the HARD drive of 160 GB for a Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB and even a Samsun 830 256 GB SSD, but my HARD drive performance is very slow.

    How can I increase the performance of my HARD drive?

    I have 4 GB of RAM and I am using Windows 7 Home.

    What do you mean exactly by the slow HARD drive performance.

    As far as I know the laptop supports a SATA I (1.5 Gbit/s / 150 MB/s) the HARD disk controller.
    Even if you would upgrade the laptop with a SSD drive that supports 3 Gbps, the controller could slow performance.

  • Satellite A60 (PSA60E): slow performance

    Hello
    I have the laptop above. the performance of this laptop is terrible, when I start an application it takes up to 10 seconds before opening the windows of the app.
    specs. family BIOS 1.90, win XP Edition version, 192 MB internal. It is a normal standard a60 with none of the exceptional items.
    Someone at - it a trick to speed up performance.

    Hello

    As you know there are several reasons why the laptop is running slowly.
    Before any if multiple processes are running in the background for the operating system is running slowly. You should check the background processes in the Task Manager and try disabling no important processes.
    Then it is possible that a virus will decrease the performance of your laptop.
    In this case, you must update the antivirus application.
    The antivirus application that runs on your laptop and monitor background processes may also be responsible for slow performance.

    But the best way is to install fresh OS. The laptop runs always faster with the installation of claire. Alternatively, you can upgrade the memory to increase the performance of your laptop.

  • Satellite C660 is slow - drive 'failure '?

    Hello Forum - I hope someone can help.

    My children (PC) run a C660-IST (two years). I say "run" - the machine is going at a snail pace. Confession - their father always worked on Apple (I know, I know...) then i@m beating everywhere to try to help them. With success limited.

    I found called 'Computer' and he said:

    Hard drives (3)

    WINDOWS (C :)) 81.3 GB free of 149 GB
    Data (:)) free d GB 148 141 GB
    Microsoft Office 2010 click-toRun (protected) (q)

    I had thought that children had simply filled memory working with games (Sims and Zoo Tycoon), but - looking at the available memory which doesn't seem to be the case.

    So I ran the program 'Diagnostic Tool'. Everything was going well... until he ran the 'HARD drive '. And he says 'FAIL' in the box 'results '.

    It's that I could get. Not sure why the result of the 'FAIL' is here. Don't know what the children may have done to the machine.

    Two questions:

    -"disc HARD FAILURE" would cause the machine so slow?

    and

    -What can I do to try to solve the problem?

    Please, be soft with any response - PC management is NOT my forte!

    Thank you very much

    Helpless dad

    > "disc HARD FAILURE" would cause the machine so slow?

    Yes, a faulty HARD disk can be the reason for the performance of the slow laptop.

    > can I do to try to solve the problem?

    There are some things that need to be clarified.
    If its a drive problem HARD physics, the only real solution is: replacing the HARD drive.
    If the problem is related to bad sectors and files stored on the HARD drive, the solution could be much easier:
    First of all I recommend you clean the system using CCleaner (freeware software)
    You could delete the stored time.
    Additional you may defragment HARD drive partitions.
    Here is a nice article from Microsoft:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx#fBid=opdomAEomx0

    But if you notice any improvements, you can format the HARD drive and install the system using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Satellite C660 - very slow and freezes

    Just bought this laptop in Argos a week ago. I know that other people have had similar problems. Basically things together is really slow no matter what you do, escecially when you go on the internet. Takes forever for nothing to take, then you end up with several windows open and all crashes.

    On the suggestion of some people on this forum, I have removed the free McAfee antivirus and installed my own Norton one instead.

    I installed the update to the BIOS when prompted to by the Toshiba updates.

    Another problem is that there is the windows updates about 36 the machine try to download, but it keeps failing to install them and try again whenever you turn it on.

    All advice appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    > Basically the whole things runs very slowly everything you do
    It comes with the pre-installed Windows version or you have installed your own version? What additional software programs you have installed and that you have connected external devices?

    > Another problem is that there is the windows updates about 36 the machine tries to download but it keeps failing to install them and try again whenever you turn it on.
    I recommend you to install Service Pack 1 before you start with simple updates of Windows. You can download Service Pack 1 all on the official Microsoft Website. After installation try to download Windows updates again.

  • Freeze the satellites L850 (PSKDLV), slow performance

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba L850-B120 with more than a year, works perfectly.
    WIN7 Home Basic, 640 G HDD, ci5 3210 M, 4 GB Ram, ATI 7670 M

    As soon as the same day where its out of warranty, it started freezing and hang on any application or no navigation, search or regular work. IE blocks, blocks Chrome, wifi is not responding.

    very slow windows startup...

    Note: BIOS has been updated 2 months in v6.7 under the EU for Win 7 update.
    Intalled OS is Home Basic 7 via Toshiba temporomandibular.

    I went back to the factory (out of the box) twice and again the same problem after a day or two.

    How to check for hardware conflicts?

    No new software installed, no. Windows Update turned on so I'm excluding the chances of any question of software!

    Toshiba...
    Help, please!

    > How to check for hardware conflicts?
    Well, if you can exclude the problems of the (software) system (and I think you can do this because the laptop should run stable and properly after restoring the laptop) we assume that your laptop problems might be related to malfunction of the equipment.

    What part of the material could go wrong function? Well, I m thinking on the HARD drive or memory.
    I think you should check if the HARD drive is OK. For this, you can use some HARD drive diagnostic tools as for example disk HARD drive fitness test.

    Of course, you could also swap the HARD drive and was able to recover the laptop using the new disc HARD just to check if the same question would never happen again.

  • Satellite C660-1LD is super slow

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1LD PSC0QE

    Let me share the problem.

    So I have to use without the battery, most of the time when sudden power failure happens my laptop turns off also. Then I have problems starting upwards just on the black screen. I tried to change the memory in different locations, a disk check HARD and troubleshooting. The last thing I did was to reformat the HARD drive and tried to reinstall windows. Here are my observations:

    -My SATA in the bios configuration is DCIS, so windows tells me that it cannot detect any partition bootable windows installation is not possible to any partition of my HARD drive, but if I move the SATA configuration BIOS compatibility and windows continues to be installed on any partition that I want.

    I thought all right but, when windows are complete its installation suddenly an error pops up

    Now I don't know what to do. It's so frustrating. Then I accidentally inserted the recovery media and the laptop start booting from the disk and install windows and restore it to the factory with its bundled software setting.

    Now, here's the problem. It's so slow. Even the andbootup of starting Windows isso slow it would take 30 minutes just to start. the mouse cursor reacts accordingly except when you open a program or by clicking on the right button takes 10 minutes. Everything is so slow. Now I don't really know what to do.

    Now I am trying to reinstall all drivers and utilities with the latest versions. But I do not get a positive response. Is it a hardware failure? Is it because the SATA setting in bios was put on compatibility, although the default is ACHI?

    I still have to reformat? Help please.

    My advice to you is to use the recovery image only. By default the BIOS settings and install the OS by using recovery media. Recovery image contains all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, so you'll have perfect configuration OS.
    What you need is small optimization of BONE.

    Take some time and read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
    It's old NET, but the principle is the same on the new machines too. As a small test remove application preinstalled antivirus and check if startup is faster.

    Please send comments.

  • Slow Super Satellite C660/C660D

    My mother bought a Tosh Satellite C660/C660D about 5 months ago. On the first day, it was slower than a snail with a cold.

    * Problem: *.
    When you click the Start button, it may take a good 10-20 seconds for the menu is displayed. When you select say MS Word, which can take 30 to 40 seconds to load up. Even opening IE can take a good 30 seconds, then theres time for opening in addition to this Web site.

    Monitor system shows (between 3% and 7% CPU), (physical memory (84% used): when the system is at rest, do nothing, not running programs.)

    Laptop a Celeron 1.5 ghz, 1 GB RAM and Windows 7 (64-bit). I know that's not the best laptop there, but I think that's stud react a little less than he does.

    Have installed many, mainly from MS office. No games or graphics programs.

    WHAT IVE DONE SO FAR *.

    * Does the Toshiba, build in the system recovery. (Several times)
    * Reg clean, clean, Defrag system
    * Update the BIOS & Chip Set

    Any ideas?

    > System Monitor shows (between 3% and 7% CPU), (physical memory (84% used)

    In my opinion, you should pass the RAM.
    84% is already used by the system, so it takes more time to start other applications.
    Your laptop uses 1 GB of RAM running Win7 64 bit guy I put t surprise me that your laptop is slow.

    I recommend you to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB or better 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM

  • Satellite C660 - 1 MM-wireless network adapter is very slow

    Hello!

    I bought a Satellite C660 - 1 MM and I have 2 problems.

    The first is that there is no C660 notebook - 1 MM on Toshiba sites, but I could find drivers with the PSC1NE thing.

    The biggest problem is that the card WIFI (atheros) is very low (or slow). I read that someone has the same problem, but a BIOS update solved this problem. My BIOS version is 1.00 (released in 2010), and I guess that perhaps this cause the WLAN problem. I tried to update the BIOS, but the Toshiba site, the latest version of BIOS of PSC1NE is 1.00: o

    So now I don't know what to do. I think that it would not be a good idea to update the BIOS with another version of the C660 series but now I can't connect to internet :(

    Please help me someone! Thank you for advice!

    Hello

    On Toshiba page you can only download BIOS version 1.00 and I don t think that there is a BIOS problem. Otherwise Toshiba unlock a new update for the series PSC1NE so Don t worry.

    In your case, I'll try an update of the WLAN driver. You can download the latest WLAN driver on Toshiba WLAN Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Here in the forum I found some discussions on the issues C660 and WLAN, WLAN driver update worked :)

  • Slow down the Satellite C660 - physical memory 93%

    Hello

    Asked me to replace a screen on my Satellite C660 sons, of whom one.
    After testing the laptop, I noticed that it was incredible slow. I asked him why he was so slow, and he says he was always slow because he bought 10 months ago to Argos (it s her first laptop and it is not very computer savvy)

    In any case, I ran a scam and spyware anti-virus and nothing was found.
    So I decided to do a factory reset (f8) but the problem is still there.
    My other son who lives with me as the same laptop (only difference is a pro) and the difference between then as night and day.

    I noticed that physical memory is always about 93% without anything running in the Task Manager and its fan is constantly every minute or so.

    Suggestions regards D

    What is the exact model number Satellite C660-xxx
    RAM memory how this laptop stand?

    For most system runs slowly because of the high amount of processes that are running in the background.
    It s advisable to check the MSCONFIG Startup tab and disable some really important processes.
    I also recommend cleaning with CCLeaner system and possibly the RAM should be improved if it s too low.

  • Satellite T110-11U: WLan connection dropped and very slow performance

    Hi people,

    I use a Satellite T110-11U running windows 7 Home premium.

    After having initially was very satisfied with its use, it now becomes more and more frustrating to use with wifi, with connections dropped and very slow performance.

    I have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem. It seems that wireless, software of management is at fault because the networks are detected, but not clinging.

    Any suggestion or tips to try will help save my sanity!

    Thanks for your help.

    John

    > have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem.
    If you need to make sure that you use the latest WLan driver.
    The driver can be downloaded here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    The laptop uses the Realtek RTL8191SE of WLan card.
    Please also reset the settings of the Wlan router. I had a lot of problems with my WLan and after the reset of the router, performance problems disappeared.

  • Satellite A205-S5864 - stop itself and the slow performance

    I'm new to this forum, so help me out anyway you can.

    I noticed that my Toshiba laptop showing odd behavior lately. She recently began to stop himself suddenly without warning. We arrived at the point where it is a regular occurrence. I don't know what it is, if the computer is starting to show it's age, or a hardware problem, etc.. I hope that's not die because this computer begins to happen over two years. The computer knows that he was arrested not because I get the message that this was not decommissioned and how I want to start in.
    I also noticed that, even though I have a core 2 processor, the computer takes awhile to start. I don't know how to improve the performance, because I regularly clean the registry and trash. I have norton 360 along with spyware blaster.

    any input would be appreciated. I will post more details that are necessary.

    Hello

    I m not A205 owner but on my computer Toshiba laptop, I got the same problem it stops and the reason was a higher internal CPU temperature. So I ve looked in the forum and founded an interesting article on the cleaning of a Toshiba laptop. That's why you need compressed air and you can clean without disassembly.
    Check this box!

    Your slow performance it of difficult to say something on this issue, but in most cases it s advisable to reinstall Windows.
    In my opinion the Norton antivirus slows performance a little so I m using the software tool free AntiVir.

    BTW, did you remove Toshiba TEMPRO?
