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.

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

    Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

    After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

    Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

    Hello

    I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

  • iPad 2 running very slow and freezing

    My iPad2 worked very slow and freezing.  It is quite frustrating and I hope someone has a tip or a solution for my problem.  I've updated my ios and right now I'm in ios 9.3

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  • After recovering the Satellite L300 is slower and freezes

    Hello

    I just restored my 1DN back to factory settings L300 - but now I find that my computer is very slow and freezes for 1 second about every seconds frew. Certainly, it does not perform as it did before you restore the factory settings. For example videos etc. freeze every few seconds and do not play smoothly as they did.

    No idea why this is and if she has nothing to do with the restoration of factory settings? And how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    After the laptop recovery procedure is certainly not up-to-date and I imagine that many Microsoft updates will be downloaded and installed. If you use the factory settings it is on automatic and several hours or maybe two updates will be downloaded and installed.

    While the installation of updates that I can imagine that the notebook is quite slow and you'll be noticed freezing or stopped video playback.

    Before you start using your laptop, install all updates and optimize the operating system preinstalled. Typical result of the new installation of the OS's slow start.

  • Satellite L300 - very slow start and freezes

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L300, who treated me well - but more 2 months ago really slow and freezes quite often. I have anti virus, spybot etc and come up with nothing.

    Last night I tried to reformat the system by pressing 0 did not work so tried with F8 which I would like to make a longer scan but no reformatting. I am now very happy that I failed to do the reformat because I bought windows 7 after the initial purchase of the laptop.

    Any ideas anyone - or any person with same/simular problems?

    Hey,.

    This means that you have installed right now and not preinstalled version of Windows Windows 7?

    Well, in this case HARD drive recovery option is no longer available. You can do it on preinstalled only Windows.

    To format your laptop, you need Toshiba recovery disc.
    Did you create it?

    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 Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
    The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).

    It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).

    I have already tried:

    -Update the Realtek drivers.
    -Disconnect the firewall;
    -Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.

    Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?

    Thank you!
    Poncet

    Hi Patrick,

    If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.

    Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.

    By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

  • Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file

    Hello.

    I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.

    As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.

    When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!

    How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.

  • 30/31 of Firefox is very slow and plant constantly?

    Hello.
    Since I updated to 30 FF, I find it VERY slow and it blocks many times a day. I was happy when version 31 is out because I thought it would work better, but it doesn't.
    The pages take forever to is to load, most of the time they will not and I have to recharge myself and then maybe they are responsible.
    Also, it crashes all the time. I noticed it's on down each time that it kind of "freeze" or when it is something big, which is not at all big load. I've never had this problem before, but have been dealing with this for months now and I'm tired instead.

    I think I have almost tried everything. Even uninstalled. I'd appreciate any help, as I would like to continue using it. Thank you.

  • El Capitan slow and freezes.

    Hello

    Since Friday, June 3 of this year my iMac has been regularly making slower with the spinning beachball showing when I open an application and when playing iTunes, YouTube, Vimeo, VLC etc the system just freezes then starts again normally. I ran Intego Internet Security, run CleanMy Mac but also run the same Washing Machine, Intgeo reinstalled El Capitan, but its still slow and freezes. Also, the activity running monitor did not throw all the problems.

    No software has been downloaded or installed until this happened, just from appeared Friday and has gradually deteriorated since.  I bought the iMac in 2012 and its been a joy full every day since then. Even that by typing the text in the screen freezes then the rest of the sentence make it up a few seconds later. Also scroll, left and right mouse click can take up to 25 seconds to work, even if the mouse works no problem, if that's any help.

    My system is:

    iMac 27 inches (mid 2011)

    3.1 Ghz Inel Core i5

    16 GB at 1333 Mhz RAM

    1 TB HHD

    OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.5

    Any assistance here for me would be really appreciated.

    First of all, get rid of all the software Intego and CleanMyMac.  They are not necessary and can only add to the problem of slow system and applications.  Do a Google search to find the developer instructions to uninstall.

    Also download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results in your response. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that has been developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple's Support personnel) of the CSA to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the most obvious culprits that can adversely affect the performance of a Mac.
