Satellite M55 is extremely slow

Hello world
I need help with the following:
I own a * Toshiba Satellite M55 *. I bought it a few years ago and so far it worked great, but recently (since 3 days ago).
It works really SLOW, with about 5 minutes loading screen and things like that.

Spyware has nothing to do with it, because I rebooted it yesterday (and even the installation of the OS took me like 3 hours!). The laptop is perfectly clean, software-wise. So, this leads me to think that my problem is in the hardware but I don't really know.

Need help!
Concerning

Hello

What was happen in the last three days? Did you do Windows update and installed the latest KBs?
If you really think that this operating system is clear, I can imagine that the HARD drive may be responsible for the slow-running.

I recommend you to backup all of your important data, because the HARD drive may soon be at the end of his life. Try to find a program to check the HARD disk and to ensure that all sectors of HARD drive are not damaged.

  • Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

    I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

    Thanks for help.

    Hello

    I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
    I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
    Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

    Have you used any anties Virus applications?

  • Satellite 1800 working extremely slow after reinstallation of the operating system

    I bought a second hand Satellite 1800. I gathered all the drivers on the site of producer s, but when I formatted the HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home edition (my own copy, not any supplied software) the laptop works extremely slow... before that during the process of reading/writing of HARD drive, you could hear that typical for the sound... now the hard drive is completely silent during operation as it's slow as hell...

    I tried to keep up with the web and it turns out that if I reinstalled the OS to Toshiba Recovery CD, it should do the thing... never mind, I didn't know I should have this CD when I bought it... so now I don't... Is there anything I could do about it?
    Help, please

    Q.

    Hello

    As far as I know, this camera comes with W98SE and WME. The recovery CD with operating system Windows XP Home edition for this device is not created by Toshiba.

    You can install Windows XP Home edition and use all the drivers for the Toshiba download site. I don t know how much RAM use this device, but if the unit has less than 128 MB of RAM you can't wait the machine runs fast.

  • My Satellite A500 is extremely slow

    Hi guys,.

    First of all my apologies if I'm not in the right sub-forum here.

    For about two weeks, my laptop (Satellite A500) is e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y s-l-o-w. Very often (not always) I get an error message after commissioning (which takes about 15 minutes) on a "JIT debugger" and click ok if you want to cancel the request or Cancel if I want to debug.

    What does all this mean? Where did it come from?

    More information:
    (-) I have not installed any new programs or anything for at least 6 months now.
    (-) Recently, it takes about 15 minutes for the laptop at the start and another 15 minutes to log on to the net (via a usb wireless modem)
    (-) I have one run a virus check (just in case ;)) and nothing was found.)
    (-) I did a "gentle formula" that I found preinstalled on the computer. Apparently, this type of format gets rid of all your mistakes without having to reinstall all your programs. This 'soft' formula has not improved the performance.
    (-) I brought up in the Task Manager to see which application causes the problem of JIT-debugger, but Task Manager area is empty. Nothing of what is running in there.

    Could someone plllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaas sssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee informed me what could happen and how I could possibly fix this problem? Your knowledge and your help would be greatly appreciated!

    Good luck everybody!

    I don't know if this will help. It should be.

    I have an A660.

    First... NEVER use your laptop on a cushion, OVERHEATING. Use a USB fan tray to sit if he walks home user...
    Once I had my motherboard replaced.

    Why did they portable who need vents inspired air from under warm days?

    TOSHIBA (have a 'free' another idea)
    WHY NOT HAVE AIR DRAWN in THE TOP OF the PC AND GO to THROUGH A VERY SMALL REFRIGERATOR AS IN A DESKTOP GRAPHICS CARD COOLING UNIT to cool the chips?

    Regarding the PROBLEM REAL being separated for a hardware issue...

    Mine did the same (ran only run stutteringly slow s...l...w.freezes trouble... a lot of time and frustration (battery in and out) caused 3 hard disks lost (shaken baby syndrome).) Lost thousands of precious family memories and important documents.

    So... instead...

    (1) download MALWAREBYTES free version (from a trusted as Cnet site or web page of MW).

    (2) install and run.

    (3) allow to find Trojan horses that slow down your laptop (mine was 300 [and I have Norton 360 installed 2013]). Automatic adjustment.

    (4) re - start normally. Try Windows again. May or may not still be issues. Qoy TO BE SURE a certain...

    (5) start in Safe Mode (pull on the plug and the battery if you are unsure how to do this).

    (6) run Malwarebytes. Get rid of all the Trojans.

    (7) re-boot... It MAY take five or six minutes to start.

    (8) If you have Norton Antivirus or McAfee run it to check that it is nothing... you CAN get a message saying there is a conflict between her and MALWAREBYTES... He told me to uninstall Malwarebytes. So, I did. BUUUUUUUUUUT, on restart computer has had a black screen... (I couldn't even at BIOS)...

    FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES, HE PLAYED DEATH. ]

    Normally I would give 'going bonkers' a little... but I expected as well... and waited and waited... and waited...

    (9) repeat PC programs. It should be much better.

    (10) re-boot... IT CAN TAKE FIVE MINUTES... don't worry... next time it should be good if you had the same questions that this laptop had too many times.

    P. S.
    ALWAYS check if you download Flash ADOBE or a MS C++ Update update, or an update module of any site, make sure that you click Yes to anything... BUT instead, GO to the REAL SITE for these programs.
    NOTE:
    Some questionable sites, to PRETEND TO DO AN updated VERSION OF YOUR plug-in, such as ADOBE FLASH or Adobe Reader or something else... but they have a PREFIX of the name of download with ADOBE in there (or [common] update no matter what he tells you everything)... and then you secretly have a Trojan horse that will unpack a few weeks later and multiplies... and does what it is designed to do.

    Hello

    Really sounds like something wrong with the HARD drive.
    Several weeks during playback on my laptop, I heard a strange noise.
    It failed for me to send it back, but I thought that it s a cooling module.

    But then my phone started very slow and after several days the BIOS was not able to recognize the HARD drive! It was a simply a head crash.
    I was a lucky man because I saved all my important files on the other computer.

  • Extremely slow on my Satellite Z930 - 15 X

    Hello

    Here is my problem (sorry for my English):

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Z930 15 X.

    For several weeks, it is very very slow. If eco or normal mode, it is still slower than the eco mode. * Even without running any program *. When I look at the Task Manager, everything is ok and fluid.

    Is this a hardware problem?
    I also noticed that the fan works far more often than the first months of use, even with just an open word document.

    The only solution I found is to restart the computer.
    After each restart, it is fast as usual, but only for a short period. But at one time or another, the extreme slowness often returns after a break.

    * I also noticed that it often occurs after a suspension or the connection / disconnection of the laptop from the AC outlet.*

    (I said I have a few programs installed and no trace of virus and other software malicious (I'm very careful about that)).

    Have you had this problem, where it comes from, what can I do?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to tell what exact reason. To be honest I don't think that there is a hardware problem. Fact is that many background processes can slow down the performance of s for laptop. Perhaps some context downloads and installation of the update may be reason your laptop reacts quite slow.

    Please check the commissioning and disable all unnecessary applications. If you do not use some of them, they should not start with Windows and run in the background. Also check Windows update option. Turn off automatic updating.

    If please do first and check if the laptop runs a little faster.
    Please post comments.

  • Satellite A30 extremely slow for about 2 months now

    Hi I need help, my A30, I bought about 2.5 years ago was extremely slow for about 2 months now. I only use it at home, and as such, I don't have a lot of programs loaded on it.

    What could be making it so slow and what can I improve performance.

    Hello

    The first thing to do is start the Utility Manager tasks (right click on the task bar) and check what you have running, as well as the process what CPU they use. For a standard installation of Windows XP I would expect to see about process assets of 40-50 but only 1 or 2% of CPU. Stop every process that you don't want especially if they use a lot of CPU.

    Then, run a analysis suitable anit-virus and also a scan of Malware (Adaware and Spybot) and clean everything they find your system.

    Finally, run a cleaning disc, followed by a Disk Defragmenter (both in the Accessories/System Tools menu).

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02Y010) - is extremely slow

    A300 purchased with Vista which has been so slow.

    I even turned off loads of features try to make it a bit faster but still slow, so I loaded XP and still sound yet to slow takes forever (5 minutes), at least to start. Right click takes forever copy that is so slow, it blocks to make things easier.

    My old laptop that I bought in 1999 is faster than my new laptop dual processor 2 k of RAM 4 GB, which gives and what could be the problem.

    I have updated software drivers ect as the CD/DVD is broken has anyone else had these problems and you would know how to sort?

    Help please

    Hello!

    It's not easy to say what the reason, that's why your laptop is so slow, but you have the same problem with the factory settings?
    I mean the preinstalled version of Windows Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. So take the Toshiba recovery disc and try it. You can post your result.

    Two years ago, I had a similar problem. My new laptop has been extremely slow and the reason of this problem was the HARD drive. He had bad sectors and so he made do to the computer very slow. After exchanging the drive HARD everything worked well.
    You can check the disk with Drive Fitness Test. use Google to find this test and it s freeware.

  • Satellite A200-1IZ becomes extremely slow using the power saving mode

    Hello

    Since I installed windows 7 I can't use my computer in battery saving mode because it becomes extremely slow.

    It takes so long for trivial tasks. It is virtually unusable.

    Can anyone tell me the reason for the problem and if there is some sort of solution?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    What performance maximum CPU you have for the power saving mode? Check the Windows power management settings: start > Control Panel > Power Options.

    The plan for the power saving mode settings and make sure that the maximum performance of the CPU is at 100% for the power saving mode. This increases the performance of the computer.

  • Satellite T130-30 - is slow inrecdible

    I just got a new Toshiba Satellite T130-30 because that my last laptop was able to get better after a heavy virusattack.

    Brand new from the store I had problems at first. Windows wouldn't install and kept restarting. Fortunately, this one went. Now, the major problem is that the computer is incredible slow, even more than my previous computer of old virusinfected. I use the processorspeedometer and its almost always 100% even if I don't use programs. I have just installed anything yet, mostly because its so slow and the few programs I have (like internet or mediaplayer) keep crashing all the time. It can't be like that, so far, this is the worst computer I've ever had.

    And I'm not very technical so its really hard to solve this problem. Here, any help would be greatly appreciated. Please answer quickly because I'm close to throw this model against the wall. Extremely annoying that it is so slow and lags and stops all the time. desperate CIHI people... :)

    Hi martin_henna,

    I can t imagine that your Satellite T130 is so slow. I bought the same laptop to my girlfriend and she is very happy with this laptop. She wanted a small notebook, but it should be fast. In my opinion, the Satellite T130 is the best choice for this.

    In any case, I think that there is something wrong with the configuration of your software. Do you have an error message during the installation of recovery?

    In your case I would try reinstalling Windows again. Maybe something messed with the registry or Windows files. You can solve if you reinstall Windows. Therefore, you can choose the option of HARD drive recovery.
    You know about it? If this isn't the case, please consult your user manual!

  • emails are performing extremely slow

    After I installed my new Dell PC with Windows 8.1, I wanted to start using Thunderbird as my emailprogram.
    I downloaded the version 31.6.

    However, it seems to me that the performance of the e-mail is extremely slow. Sending and downloading of emails are nice, but move an e-mail to the following in the Inbox takes up to 20 seconds! Removal of e-mails, same thing! In both cases, I get the message "TB is not responding.
    Switching between my two accounts is also a process frustrating, which lasts even longer.

  • MP4 is extremely slow in Compressor 3 - upgrade?

    Hello

    I work a lot with the files mp4 (or m4v) and I use a compressor to encode them to the ProRes format - and then to the FCP 7. Currently using Compressor 3.5.3

    The problem: it is extremely slow. When dragging a mp4 file (say about 10 min) causes of compressor to think and reflect and think - and then dragging the parameters is the same. Compressor 4 is more favourable to mp4 files and would be faster? Or is it my computer which makes it slow?

    The MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Thank you

    BTW, what I'm trying to do is to convert mkv in ProRes files. I do it in two steps: first Handbreak, then compressor. It is a tedious process, so if anyone has a better solution I would be happy to hear.

    If your Mac is the "thought", my guess is that it is not your version of the compressor or your MBP this os the cause. The source file - maybe something suspicious on the handbrake conversion

    A plain vanilla MP4 to transcode Pro Res must be handled smoothly by Compressor 3.5 - and fill a bit faster than real time.

    Try this. Take a one minute or two QuickTime movie and convert it to MP4. Now that import compressor and transcode to Pro Res.  OK it works?

    Also, check that your system drive has sufficient free space - say, a minimum of 10 to 15%.  And make sure that your destination disk has of space as well.

    Your question about compressor 4, the answer is Yes. The latest version (4.2) is quite a bit faster than 3.5 - especially for fairly new Mbps and iMacs. It is also an improvement by other means - including options for extended encoding, greater stability and ease of use. (But keep in mind that there is no shipment to capacity of compressor from FCP 7 4.2.)

    Good luck. Post back and we do know.
