Satellite P300 - very slow

I recently put a Satellite P300 from a guy on ebay, it seems to be very slow. Can anyone suggest what I can do?

Thanks for your time and your help. (apart from him giving back lol)

Hello

What to say? I think that it of not possible to say something because nobody knows what operating system you are using and what things software you already have installed maybe you can add this information

Usually these problems are related to the OS if a lot of software is installed. Therefore, it would be useful to reinstall Windows

  • Satellite P300-150: slow processor during the test with the id tool intel

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite P300-150 and it was working well in general... play lotro with few problems, but not in dx10 cos it chuggs as hell.

    I noticed he had a genuine problem of warhead of the crisis in the recommended settings, but thought it was just cos he couldn't do.

    But I downloaded the untilty of Intel processor id and he gave the following results... as you can see on the bottom 4 lines the processor is very upset with the expected results for the frequency and buses (fewer than half actually).

    Intel recommends if there is a huge gap, I need to contact the manufacturer... which brought me here.
    Any advice before contacting tech support directly?
    Just maybe I can play warhead after all! : o).

    Hello

    Satellite P300-150 was equipped with the Intel Core 2 Penryn T8300 processor.
    This processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.

    Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust the tension and the processor core frequency. This means that the CPU doesn't always work with maximum performance, but only if it of needed. This helps minimize the heat dissipation and allows to secure the battery energy!

    The CPU seems to be slow check with the Intel ID tool ;)

  • Satellite L750 - very slow internet

    Hello

    I bought a new toshiba L750 and Wi - Fi connection is very slow (almost useless).

    I have a sony 5 years, sitting next to him using the same wireless connection and it is much faster (pages take seconds on sony, toshiba minutes).

    It must be an internet setting? I find it particularly slow in hotmail. Once loaded the pages once seem a little faster the second time, but always as fast as it should.

    any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    HT

    Hey,.

    This happens in Eco mode? If so, it could be caused due to saving energy characteristic of the wireless network card. You must disable management feature in Windows to energy WLAN power management. You can set the WLAN card for maximum performance.

    What router you have and that you already have a firmware update?

  • Satellite A300 - very slow meeting of the Windows operating system

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba a300.
    I am facing a lot of problems with it.
    First of all, very slow sound at startup... I ' v read read this post

    -remove all unnecessary software system
    -remove the preinstalled application antivir and installing Avira Antivir software (without a doubt the best for me because he didn't need as many resources)
    -deactivation of departure for everything that I have addresses Don ¢ ' t need (MSCONFIG)
    -Disabling all components material I don't need in the Manager device (modem, multicard reader, PCMCIA slot, firewire)

    Pls u can mention precisely what are all unnecessary software in my laptop... It's first time im having a computer so I donnno much...
    I use kaspersky anti virus. Should I switch to avira? I am also faced with another problem. My led on/off function does not work instead, it acts as a mute button. It used to be well earlier... I tried support button (dimmer.exe), Setup of HW, but both failed... then I uninstalled reinstalled n some added value pack from an Australian site, but who has not too... pls help... I'm p * OFF... all the suggestions/help will be really appreciated.

    > Pls u can mention precisely what are all s unnecessary software in my laptop...

    Only you can decide what software is not important to you
    Toshiba has preinstalled many different programs. Most of these applications control certain features of the laptop as keys FN, controls, etc., but of course, this software needs of material resources and slow down the start-up procedure.

    In MSCONFIG, you can disable some processes and could test how the laptop would be without these applications.

    In addition, I recommend to update or remove the Tempro tool, which has been pre-installed by Toshiba!

    The Avira scanner is great. I m using both and it s free.
    This eater of low material s and, therefore, the laptop should start more quickly instead of using Avira Kaspersky.

  • Toshiba Satellite L655D very slow

    Recently, I deleted it from my laptop and started more as it kept crashing and was very slow. The only programs I loaded on it that wiping it was Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 we bought through a program offered by the school district in my children, Norton and Silhouette Studio (for my craft cutting machine).  My laptop has a processor dual core AMD turion II p540 2.40 GHz and 4 GB of RAM (3.74 GB usable) and it's a 64-bit OS Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.

    I feel is no longer a problem with it crashing, but it continues to be slow... opening web pages in particular.  I heard it might be Norton do not interact with office or office is too big for my laptop.  Any thoughts? I look at Norton switch in another protection software or add RAM?  I appreciate help with this. I don't have the money to go and buy a new laptop and looking for some inexpensive ways to extend the life of it. :)

    Michele

    In my humble OPINION Symantec/Norton should not be placed on any machine, but I don't think that the software installed is causing your slow.

    I don't think RAM will help (chances are that you do not use all you need)

    We need a lot more information

  • Satellite Pro P300 - very slow WiFi connection

    Toshibe Satellite Pro P300 with built in the Atheros AR9281 wireless.

    Running Windows 7.

    ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

    BIOS 2.5

    All the latest versions of the drivers installed including the driver Atheros 8.0.0.225.0 wireless.

    Wireless is annoying...

    Sometimes fails to find the router (Belkin 54g, connected to the Modem cable Motorola (Virgin B/B is the access provider, 10 Mbps)).

    When he finds, connects ok, but sometimes it is impossible to browse web pages - just behave as if there is no connection.

    Bit torrent works also very slowly (in general 0.5Mbit / s depending on the number of peers etc.). Not a port forwarding issue with the router - using utorrent that indicates that the relevant port is open.

    When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, everything works a treat - much faster and rock solid connection. uTorrent has no hit 10Mbit/s problem at all.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you very much...

    Alan.

    Hello

    You should first check if your BIOS is up to date.
    If an older version of BIOS is installed then you could update the BIOS.

    It is also advisable to update the installed WLan driver.
    Here, you can check the available WLan drivers:

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Satellite A60 - very slow USB transfer speed

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A60 with XP Home and the USB transfer speed is very very low. Is 2.0, but it is not working properly, because it takes about 30 minutes to copy the data from 1 GB on a USB 2.0 drive externally.

    I tried my USB drives on another computer and work quickly and well, so it is probably just a problem of drivers, but can't find them on the web from Toshiba to reinstall them. I heard that it is a common problem after installation of XP Service Pack 2, but I didn't do anything, I use the operating system as it came when I bought the laptop (with XP Home SP2 preinstalled original), I do not change any configuration or install drivers that can affect to the USB controllers and it has always been so slow.

    Could someone help? I tried to reinstall the drivers from Toshiba, but I think that there are not more special just for the USB, what should I update then? I need to improve the transfer speed of USB data for professional purposes, because I can't lose so given at the time of the transfer, please please please help!

    PS: Sorry for my terrible English, but it is there no Toshiba forums on my tongue: P

    Hello

    USB drivers are part of the operating system and you are unable to download the USB drivers separately.
    In my view, it is really not necessary to reinstall the USB drivers because the USB HDD is recognized correctly and it works.

    USB 2.0 transfer speed 480 Mbps supports and if any didn't error message then the USB ports running at full speed.

    For more details, please see this page of Microsoft;
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/learnmore/jones_02august05.mspx

    Last but not least I would recommend to update the XP to the last State. I mean that you need to install all of the available patches and fixes.

    Good bye

  • 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 P200 very slow

    We bought a laptop with Vista P200, which was according to the best salemen that he could offer.
    Now, after working with him for nearly six months, the laptop is slowly.

    It's as if we were working on a 286 pc. Man, what is this thing slow?
    He is constantly busy with nobody knows what. If he is not busy, it still operates as a turttle.

    We went back to the store and they asured we all going well.
    Well, we are close to crazy. We would like to ask for help with this problem.
    Someone an idea?

    In the meantime, we have removed Mcafee and that helped a little.
    We now use virusprotection of swisscom, which is good.

    Please help us.

    Hi Frank

    I understand you very well. I have a laptop from a different manufacture with Intel Core Dual CPU, very good graphics card and 2 GB of RAM.

    After a few months and the installation of various applications, software Antivirus, firewall, etc. the system performance was just bad. Everything was slow I mean the laptop needed several minutes to load the system and the unique application performance was not satisfactory.

    My problem was that too many processes running in the context of the operating system. In addition, the whole registry was confused upward.
    I have removed several applications of the autostart folder and cleaned the registry by using a freeware program called CCleaner.

    Also, I deleted some programs that are not really necessary for me.
    Last but not Lea I ve defragment my HARD drive and my unique partitions.

    I have 3 partitions on the HARD disk. It of much better to have more sizes small partitions as a large size of HARD drive.

    I hope I could give some useful advice and how to increase the performance of your laptop.

    Best regards and good luck buddy

  • Satellite L730 / very slow L735... buffering start-up online content, etc.

    I have only owned it since May 26 this year, and I found the performance really slow.

    I can't watch online content... It takes forever buffering and has worsened in recent weeks, even though we have a strong bond.

    Also it takes about 10 minutes to start!

    Any ideas, seems a bit poor to have these problems so early? We checked and defragment the hard drive and that did not help at all. It is very little stored on the hard drive... less than 10% used.

    > I can't watch online content... It takes forever buffering and has worsened in recent weeks, even though we have a strong bond.

    Streaming video depends on the server where the video is hosted too!
    If the server is overloaded, performance can go down and this affects the performance of streaming.

    Have you noticed the slow performance using other software too?

    Notice also that background processes that are run in the context of the operating system can slow down the performance of the system.

    Usually, you can disable background processes is not necessary using msconfig.
    But be careful with it. This may affect the functionality of the laptop too. If you n t know the unique process, google for that, for more details.

    I use CCLeaner (freeware tool) to improve my performance of the laptop. Perhaps it might be useful for you too.

  • Satellite P300-1EX slow (high) ping - card Atheros AR9281 WLan -.

    I just bought the laptop above and fight with insanely high during wireless pings.

    It is only when connecting via wireless, as when it is connected directly to the router, that is fine.

    TIA.

    Hello

    Please check if you are using the latest Atheros WLan driver.
    The latest driver can be found here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    In addition, you must ensure that you are using the latest version of the BIOS.
    See the European driver of Toshiba page and compare the BIOS installed with the BIOS on the Web site.
    If there is a newer version then update!

    Please also check the properties of card WLan (-WLan card-> properties > Device Manager)
    There, you can turn off the option that could affect energy saving WLan functionality

    Hello

    My A300 has developed a problem. When I boot it to take about 2 minutes to go to the BIOS screen, then, the screen turns white with a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen, it stays like that for about a minute and it starts and runs perfectly.
    I tried upgrading the BIOS to the latest version. I've also restored windows to a factory State.

    The problem still exists. The laptop is 10 months old.

    Hello

    Have you installed extra RAM in Notepad?
    If so, remove it and try again only with module of RAM preinstalled.

    What devices or cables connected to the laptop? Remove all USB devices, network cable and others and see what happens. I ask this because a friend of mine had the same problem because it connected an external HARD drive to the laptop.

  • Satellite P300-156 very slow

    Hi people,

    my laptop is very slow, that pop ups always happen even on the highest setting and like crazy when I bought it I do not have any disk backup!

    Hello

    Is your computer slow?
    Why you n t try to clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner?
    CCleaner is free and helps you to get rid of some waste that is stored on the HARD drive.

    You should also check the msconfig
    In the Startup tab, you must turn off the process and tools that are not important for you but starts at the beginning of the boot process

    PS: If you n t created the recovery disc then you could try to order it from here:
