Satellite L500 - really slow

Since I got this Satellite L500 for 3 weeks it worked really slow.

Anyone know what I can do to speed it up, back to normal. Thanks leslie

Hi leslie113,

It is really difficult to talk about such things, because nobody knows how you have installed things and a lot of software can slow performance because they always running in the background.

The easiest way is if you defragment the HARD drive at any time and uninstall all of the software that you don't need more.

* Main * point is to use the * forum research *. You will find a large number of threads how to improve performance of Windows!

  • Satellite L500 - very slow operation

    Hello

    A Satellite L500 running Windows 7. It has suddenly slowed down, almost at a standstill. If I expose the computer for a few hours just on desktop it goes into mode "Eve" as expected.
    The problem is that he comes back to life very slowly, taking minutes for each order to be processed. I usually give up and try to shut down the computer, but which can take forever. I finally hold the power button to turn off. When I reboot, everything is OK.

    Some messages have emerged:
    waiting for CNQMSWCS. EX-close
    AMD:CCC - AEMC prevents windows to stop.

    Any help will be appreciated
    BW

    I assume that you have installed an additional application, which can be a troublemaker.
    Google say that CNQMSWCS.exe is a Menu Image quick view Canon and it is application of Canon.

    Please try to remove this app from the system and having it roll back OS asks to restore a few days using System. I hope that preinstalled OS will run again OK.

  • My Satellite is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to open a session

    Hello

    My satellite phone is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to open a session. It also takes awhile to open up applications in particular the internet. Once the internet is open, it takes a while to access the net. The application actually drags across from the scene and it looks like a curtain closing additional idling.

    Need help.

    Hello

    Have you checked the CPU usage rate?
    Start the Task Manager and check if any strange background process needs the full CPU performance.

    I also recommend to check the laptop for some viruses and malware. These programs could make the laptop and the lazy BONE.

    However the portable equipment could bad work.
    You should check the memory using the Memtest86 program. It s freeware. Check the HARD drive for bad sectors and also try to defragment the HARD drive!

  • Satellite L500-128 - slow connection to wireless network

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L500-128.

    After I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, my laptop is very very slow at startup. He hangs on to my wireless network connection or non - wireless (no matter whether I am connected to a cable). At this point, Windows has already started, but has not loaded al my applications yet. After 1.5 minutes or so when it is connected to my network (or has decided that he cannot connect because I'm not connected to a network), it continues and all is well.

    I already installed the latest network drivers. I have a Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller and an Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN.

    Is there anyone who has this problem and fixed it?

    Hello

    I had a similar problem on Windows XP... The problem is that I used my router DHCP service it takes up to 1 minute I could use the laptop. I searched a bit here in the forum and I tried to use static IP addresses instead of DHCP from my router service: the problem has been resolved! :)

    Please try static IP addresses and update the firmware on your router!

  • Satellite U940 really slow after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    Just upgraded the Windows 8.1. Windows 10 installation on my laptop U940-100 with 32 GB SSD for implementing caching.
    The laptop really performed very well (fast start etc.) until this upgrade.
    It seems that on the SSD caching does more.
    Anyone familiar with this problem? I can't find any useful information on the Toshiba site.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I had the same problem of yours on my 940-11 K,

    I solved it very easily just by installing the drivers for fast boot Intel and Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers.

    You can download the latest version from the Intel site, here is the link:

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Dow...art-technology
    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/it/...-rapid-storage

    I have upgraded to Windows 10, then I installed the drivers.
    After each driver installation, I did a reboot.
    SSD caching should automatically work again after these 2 steps.

    You should see an improvement in performance just after.

    I hope this will help you!

  • Satellite Pro 2100 is really really slow running

    I have a satellite pro 2100 I killed a friend.
    He said his brother gave him and that he had no idea what was wrong because he didn't have a chance to watch it.

    I put windows xp pro top and used the bottom of the laptop pro license key.

    but the laptop is really really slow.
    It may take up to 5 minutes for nothing I click to open up.

    the strange thing is the laptop works fine in safe mode, can open things like I should.

    but in normal windows mode, it slows down to a crawl and even crashes.

    I have trie all to my knowledge.
    I even uninstalled and turn off the graphics drive that I thought that he maybe, but he always does.

    I tried multiple copies different from xp pro and even tried a copy of vista, but still the same.

    He had 2 different lots of tried in ram, 2 sticks was new aswel. I tried 3 different hard drives and still the same.

    My thoughts are that the integrated graphics card is exhausted.

    can anyone else confirm this? Certainly this isn't a software issue because I tried a few different copies of xp and vista. IM about to bin it now.

    > anyone can confirm this?
    Don t think someone could confirm everything that is related to a malfunction of the equipment.
    Here in the forum, we can talk about problems and makers of disorders, but no one will be able to say with certainty what's going wrong here.

    First laptop computer is an oldie.
    The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU, isn t a up to date CPU and in my opinion, that don't expect too much performance.

    I put t know how this camera supports memory but everything below 1 GB of Ram would be good enough to the smooth running of the laptop.

    However, given that the unit works much faster saving mode, I guess there must be a hardware related problem.

  • Satellite L500 - wireless connection is very slow

    Hey all,.

    I have problems with my toshiba satellite L500 wireless very slow. I restored the computer back to factory settings, reset the router and do not know what to do. The only way that I am able to achieve and increase speed of internet is by connecting the laptop to the router.

    There are 3 other laptops in the House which is the same model, this laptop runs very fast. My router is a Thomson TG782T.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First, I would try to update the WLAN driver. Download the latest version on the Toshiba site and then delete the old version. Reboot the laptop and use CCleaner to clean the system. Restart again and now you can install the latest WLAN driver.

    I put t know what operating system you have, but on Vista and Windows 7, you must disable the WLAN energy saving function. You can do this in Windows power management if you change power management.

    I had a similar problem and after removing the energy saving function, it worked fast and normal as on other laptops. :)

  • Satellite L500 14 X - Fan switches do not properly under Fedora 12

    Hello people,
    I seem to have the same kind of problems with the fans of speed on my recently purchased Toshiba Satellite L500 14 X and Fedora 12
    The fan turns slowly until the processor gets 37 degrees. Then it runs at maximum speed, and never slowed until the reboot.

    I updated the BIOS to 1.60

    Now, in the Ubuntu 9.10 on the same notebook it WORKS CORRECTLY. When the CPU is hot on 37 or more senior degrees it starts to spin faster and when CPU back to 34 degrees, the fan slows down and works almost noiselessly!

    I tried all the options of the kernel: acpi.power_nocheck = 1, acpi = off, acpi_osi = 'Windows 2006', and so on — nothing has really changed.
    I tried different Fedora kernels, include 2.6.32 - nope...
    I tried to find a reason why it works under Ubuntu and does not work in Fedora 12... But have yet to find something fishy... And I think that the problem is somewhere in the kernel.
    The main difference I see is that on fedora 12 I can not install the proprietary ATI driver, who normally installs on Ubuntu 9.10. It is because of the xorg version in Fedora 12 and seems that we must wait for the next version of the ATI drivers.

    One last thing - in Fedora 12 notebook became hot very quickly and without reasons of course.
    In Ubuntu, it's not so fast and requires CPU load with something serious.

    I don't want Fedora to Ubuntu, just because of this problem of FAN (nothing personal :))) so I need to get this working in Fedora 12)

    Maybe someone faced the same thing?
    Any help much appreciated! :)

    Hey!

    I found the solution. Incredible, but the index is ATI owner driver. As I mentioned previously, the Fedora 12 version of the ati 9.11 driver cannot be installed due to the latest version of xorg.
    I reinstalled my toshiba with Fedora 11, install the driver from ati.com ATI and here us are :) now fans are working properly!

  • Re: Disk Satellite L500 - 19 X drive

    Hello
    I don't know if I write in the right place, but here goes. I have a satellite L500 19 x tends towards the age of 8 months. The problem im having is that the hard disk has really slowed down. It takes about 1 hour to rip or burn a standard music CD. I use if often could not have burned it. Any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    I think that you have to clean your cd/dvd with a disk drive to remove dust from the lens for cleaning lenses. What software do you use to rip cd drives? You can try Poikosoft Easy CD - DA Extractor is free 1 month trial program.

  • Satellite L500 - can I get all the instruments and the driver for Win 7?

    Thank you! {for your help, I really need some help... thank you: 8}

    Hello

    I put t know why you have software problem with the Vista OS preinstalled but my Toshiba tools and utilities work fine! Once the control buttons stopped working, but I could fix it reinstall the VAP.

    Back to your question:
    Yes, you can get all the Win 7 drivers and tools for the L500 series. Why not?
    If you would take a glance on the Toshiba page you would find all the stuff for download!

  • Satellite L500-01u012 - problems of audio output

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-01u012 and I have problems with the audio output.
    When I plug a headphone or audio output in the audio output port, it does not neutralize the internal Laptop speakers.
    It's really annoying me and I wonder if there is a way around this?

    I have windows 7 Home premium 64-bit sp1 with all the latest patches to update, and I tried to remove, restart and then reinstalling the driver several times without success
    I also got the image of the plant cell to try to fix that and its still nto work.

    I downloaded the drivers from the toshiba support site, but they did not help

    Hello

    Is this something new or you have noticed this problem in the past too?
    Generally by default the internal speakers should be turned off when you connect earphones.

    I put t know what laptop do you have exactly (model number you wrote may not be the right) and what sound card is inside, but please check the audio options in the Panel.

  • Satellite L500-164 - has the touchpad scrolling feature?

    Hello
    I am interested in buying the laptop L500-164.

    Can someone tell me if this phone has a touchpad with scroll function?
    And so, only the page down, or "from left to right?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes, the Satellite L500 supports virtual scrolling.

    But that's why you need the driver for the touchpad, this feature is software based on other laptops. It is not a problem because the driver is already preinstalled and more you can download on the page of Toshiba. :)

    Fun with a new Satellite L500. A friend bought me too and it s really great and the price is also good.

  • Satellite L500-164: 15.6 "does not appear fullscreen in games

    Hello

    I recently bought the L500-164 and installed Windows 7 64-bit. Everything works perfectly, just a thing which annoys me incredibly.

    Whenever I play a game (Counterstrike, Warcraft3, Warsow, soldier) is a big black band on the left and right, so basically the screen of the game resembles a quadrat. I saw even more on my old 15.4 "laptop, because he was able to view as wide screen.

    I installed the new catalyst, but is not possible within the REC to enlarge the screen of the game for the full amount...
    I really want to solve this problem and I hope for your help.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Normally, every game, you can change the screen resolution and I think that you didn t set the resolution of the screen to the right. As far as I know the Satellite L500-164 has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. did you choose this resolution?
    If you choose another resolution that uses another format, you have these bands on the left and right sides.

    In addition, you must use the Toshiba display driver directly. Other drivers are not pre-tested and don t have protection against overheating.

  • HWsetup does not retain the settings on my new Satellite L500-11F

    Hello

    you just bought a Satellite L500-11F.
    I tried to connect to a WLAN, but every time I turn on the LAN with the hwsetup.exe, parameters of fall after a reboot necessary return to "off".
    Also the light in front of the laptop stays orange. Think it must be yellow to show a WLAN card activated.

    So, how can I change the hwsetups and keep them after the restart.

    Grateful for all the help

    I don't really know what you're doing, but for the activation of WLAN card use the WLAN switch and the FN + F8 key combination.
    You can update the WLAN switch on position but toggle wireless card with FN + F8 only. When you use option disable the WLAN led will be OFF.

    Check it out.
