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.

  • Additional fee for the Satellite C660-116 memory

    Hello

    I would like to add to my Satellite C660-116, which has a memory 800 Mhz 1 GB installed DDR3 2 GB of additional memory. (Samsung M471B2873FHS-CH9, 204 pins SODIMM)

    After consulting with several Internet sites it can a confusion now:

    Samsung 1 GB DDR3 10666 1333 MHz laptop memory
    Samsung 1 GB DDR3 10600 1333 MHz laptop memory

    While the official website of Toshiba says 800 Mhz.

    It was easire to find a DDR2 800 Mhz for a DDR3 at 800 Mhz, however, to get a DDR3 at 1333 MHz 2 GB is very simple and reasonable in cost.

    Someone could say 2 GB memory which would be the best to buy (a 204-pin SoDIMM DDR2 800 Mhz) or a DDR3 1333 Mhz or something else?
    Thank you

    Toshiba recommends the use of the module of RAM 2 GB compatible with PA3676U-1M2G part number.
    This memory has been tested and works perfectly.

    If you want to have high quality I recommend you use Kingston RAM compatible RAM for your Satellite is KTT1066D3 / 2G.

    Check the two modules and compare the price. Always is it that both of them are high quality products, and you will have no problems using one of them.

    By the way: your laptop can be upgraded up to 4 GB so I think you must be upgraded to the maximum level.

  • Slow down the Satellite A40 - how to set factory settings

    I have a Satellite A40 series and over time it began to slow down. I want to do is go back to its factory settings.

    Everyone there of suggestions on how to get there.

    Thanking you in advance.

    You want to redefine the laptop to factory settings?

    Well, it's very easy why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    This CD contains an image of Toshiba, which has been preinstalled on the laptop at the beginning.

    Just boot from the recovery CD and follow the instructions on the screen

    But note; the recovery CD would format the whole HARD drive. So you backup important data first if you need it at a later time.

    Good bye

  • Upgrade of RAM up to 8 GB on the Satellite C660-180

    Hey guys,.

    Thanks a lot for taking a peek at my post.
    I have the Satellite C660-108. I think the upgrade to 3 GB up to 8 GB ram.
    I'll be very grateful if someone could answer my questions before making a purchase.

    It is a model of Ram. I think of buying.

    Kingston HyperX Plug and Play DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 8GB SODIMM Memory Module

    I wonder if it would correspond to my laptop?

    Also, I found this on C660-108

    Type: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD
    amount of memory: 1 273 MB shared memory with 3 GB of installed system memory and up to 1 696 MB with 4 GB of system memory, (with system of 64-bit pre-installed operating)
    memory type: shared.

    If I update up to 8 GB ram it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?

    Thank you very much.

    Kit

    According to the technical page of Toshiba laptop, 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) are certainly possible.
    Kingston is a good manufacturer of RAM and provide good quality modules.

    The RAM modules should support the following sepcs:
    DDR3 1066 MHz (PC3-8500)

    Processor PENTIUM P6100 (2.00 GHZ) supports a 1,066 MHZ FSB and therefore the PC3-8500 must operate at full speed 1066 MHz

    > f I upgrade ram to 8 GB it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?
    More RAM means more can be shared with the GPU, but this is controlled by the graphics driver automatically.

  • Why adobe flash player slows down the performance of the browser all?

    I rememeber more there are problems with the plugin flash player in Mozilla's Firefox browser, causing the plugin to crash: Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - prevent it from happening again. Firefox help

    After a recent update (17,0,0,134) he almost never crash, but it slows down all browsers performance until she finally released the following video. The majority of all the news sites use flash player

    to launch its "commercial. And there are several boxes with advertisements, for example: www.lrytas.lt

    And while I'm listening to music via youtube and on the other tab reading news on this site, when the music clip ends and the browser begins to load another clip of music,.

    then the job of the Navigator everything is paralyzed - I can not write a text, can't scroll down, do not click on a link. This is because the system is busy while loading YouTube next clip.

    Mouse marker becomes in a circle around rotation indicating the loading procedure (firefox does not). And it takes time - up to 10-15 seconds to launch the new video. Then sudenly my actions is executed after such a break - my text is typed.

    My scroll down and maybe link is pressed. All this procedure slowdown is annoying. It wastes a lot of time. I opened the Task Manager and I see that Firefox takes 900,000 or 1300.000 K memory. My OS is Windows 7.

    I close the process firefox.exe together and then it automatically closes the plugins. Then I open the browser again and he ask to retrieve automatically suspended sites, I agree with her and then she just opens again. And once again

    He works constantly for some time until it slows down the browser again. With several tabs more problems. In addition, the display of a video sometimes too late too. Some images are lost, as the system is already too late because

    loading procedure takes too many resources.

    A long time ago long flash player was better. But today, with increased again * substandard computers like iphones iPad you need to evolve the player such that he must play throughout, but its performance on different platforms

    This is not the same.

    Who is guilty - my PC, Firefox or the plugin? Or maybe that I am?

    In my view of cold, users actions cannot be ignored. Preference should be the user continuous control on a system load.

    From now on, everything works fine. No complains. I mean without everything turning off hardware acceleration. It's after a few windows or update firefox.

  • How to slow down the Power On Self Test?

    The Dell 'splash screen' that allows you to select a function key is visible for less than a second - enuff not long to enter a function key. However, there is an entry in BIOS A02 ("HDD protection characteristic" under "Security") that seems to slow down the procedure, but the next screen appears in Chinese. Obviously not a good solution.

    (1) everyone knows this?

    (2) have you been able to fix?

    Thanx.

    Disoriented Bob

    Inspiron 620 is up to the A10BIOS version, then you can consider to update if you do not yet have A02.

    Various updates of BIOS have set noise of fan, NIC and WOL problems issues and problems of memory management, so it might be useful for you. Note that A10 should have all the updates/fixes from earlier versions, so you should go directly to the A10.

    Read and follow carefully the instructions to Flash the BIOS. And keep in mind there is always a (small) chance that a BIOS update will fail and brick the motherboard.

  • How do I disable Adobe Flash - too many sites have Flash ads that slow down the browser unless an analysis.

    Some pages contain 3, 4, 5 or more adobe flash ads running at the same time, which slows down the browser a lot. Then, if you happen to have several tabs open, the browser is dragging virtually interrupted and many times is not responding at all.

    I would like to be able to choose whether or not a page can run flash content - not it be something that works all the time for each page, with the only option being to kill the plugincontainer process in taskmanager - who kills even the Adobe Flash elements you can watch; like a youtube video.

    Why is there not a way to disable Adobe Flash in the browser? I have updated Firefox and Adobe Flash, but nowhere is there at - it an option to turn on or off according to your needs.

    A control can be added to the Internet Options that you can set to have a page request before it is allowed to run the Flash content? Having that kind of control would GREATLY increase the pleasure of sailing on several pages.

    Any information on how to do it, would be appreciated.

    Hello, this is already possible in firefox: go to firefox/tools > addons > plugins and shockwave flash to Activategame. then the plugin will be disabled by default but can be enabled on a site-by-site basis.

  • Why FFx21, from the opening, thus creating three CACHE of INTERNET files duplicate (01, 02, 03 & tot'ng 12 MB) slows down the site?

    On the 'OPENING' Firefox for the web, there is an initial use of 12 + MB of use via INTERNET CACHE files. These files show up, when using CCleaner, as... \_CACHE_001, 002, 003 each with a size of say 4 096 Ko. The browser seems to "lag" - particularly visible when I type in one of the available search bars... I tap and then wait for the letter or the word to display. In addition, Firefox crashed several times since the upgrade to the latest version (ffox 21). I have two images CCleaner printscreen to show files so useful, but not sure how to enter them here.

    Hello, these are the files where firefox stores its cache - you won't need CCleaner (in fact, it will be only slow down the things that you have already noticed, given that these files must be recreated after the next startup of the browser), you can also clear the cache with the mechanism built into firefox: How to clear the cache of Firefox

  • Modeling 3D (Sketch Up) programs keep crashing on the Satellite C660 - 28 d

    Hi guys,.

    Obtained the Satellite C660 - 28 d to Christmas as my old laptop was dying on its feet. So far I've had no problems with it, except for when you use a selection of programs, namely Sketch Up and the rhinoceros are two 3D modeling programs. Strangely enough, AutoCAD Revit works great, I have imagined would have been more demanding on the system.

    When Rhino opening he allows me to choose my model before crashing and displaying a message saying "Rhino 4.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close" and with Sketch Up I get again select a model but then a message saying "Google SketchUp has produced a bug splat and needs to close" followed by a similar error report form that never works when I try and send the error. This is happening on SketchUp 8, after having uninstalled and reinstalled SketchUp 8 and then uninstall and install SketchUp 7, all with the same result.

    It has been suggested to me that there is an error with the graphics card and I have to download a driver, but the only driver on the Toshiba site that would make sense to me is the display driver, I have installed and makes no difference.

    Please help me, I need the use of these types of programs for the University.

    Hello

    It is possible to have these problems because of display driver.
    You should maybe contact the software manufacturer and ask for help. Toshiba doesn't third party software support. Software maker has better experience with own product. I presume that what they have tested on different platforms and need to know what can be the problem.

  • How can I disable tap-to-click on the Satellite C660/C660D?

    There is no option to disable it on this laptop, I looked for the answer online but nothing, there seems to be no way to do it on this laptop model. I tried to download the new driver for touchpad of the site but had absolutely no effect and gave me more options to turn it off, it has changed nothing. Now completely stuck and its driving me crazy!

    The mouse click also on its own randomly even if Im not to touch, always seems to hurt when im game.

    I still want to use the touch pad to move the pointer autour, just don't want to use it to click.

    As far as I know the Satellite C660 supports Synaptics touchpad.
    The Synaptics touchpad driver should support the tap to click option.

    In order to ensure that Synaptics driver has been installed.
    Then go to control panel-> mouse-> last tab (button settings)
    Now, you need to access the properties of Synaptics and here you should find the option called tapping

  • Slow down the Audio and keep beat related Sections

    Hello people,

    I have a song that I would like to remix and I all set beat matching.  When I go to slow down the audio I lose my bearings.  Is there anyway that I can keep the sections that I beat matched and slow down the audio so these sections remain?

    For example, that the song is 120bpm and I have this rhythm corresponded perfectly.  If I have a loop of 4 bars and slow down the audio I have more 4 perfect bars.  I want to be able to slow down the audio and still have my bars 4 faultless.

    I hope that makes sense.
