• Satellite P300 - slow laptop with 100% CPU usage

  Hello

  I ve bought a P300 Satellite a week ago.
  The problem is that my laptop is very slow. When I run Vista it takes 3-4 minutes.
  When I open WMP it takes 30 to 40 seconds, and when I play a movie she shocked all the time.
  The CPU is at 100% constantly.
  The other times when I start my laptop it works normally.
  What is the problem? I didn't install any programs, I just did the installation for Vista, and that's all!
  Can I do a clean install of Vista? I can't do anything with it now...

  Thx for the help and sorry for my bad English :)

  Did you install Vista using the recovery disk?

  Or did you use a copy of the street / retail Vista?

  Go to Device Manager and search for devices that have a yellow exclamation. If some devices have drivers installed (for example, the driver display), it can slow down the system.

  Vista needs at least 1 GB memory to work properly (2 GB recommended), so if you have only 512MB, Vista runs very slowly, and you need to upgrade the memory.

• Re: Very slow laptop

  Hello, this has probably been posted CIHI thousands of times, but can t find a thread that connects directly to my problem.

  I have a Toshiba basic laptop that is only 5 months old, but it's really slow. When I turn the laptop on, it takes about 15 minutes to connect to the internet, I know that it s not the Internet that's the problem as friends brought their computer round one bound to the wireless without any problem.

  I always get the Toshiba note book recording ceased work reminder and I was wondering if this has nothing to do with it.

  I don't use the computer for surfing the internet and took some vacation photos stored on there with a little music, so t may be that I don't have any space.

  Any help would be appreciated,

  See you soon

  Hi Matt

  What model do you have?
  Are you using the original pre-installed OS?

  Did you install additional software that can slow down your laptop?

• Very slow laptop

  Hi, I'm having a lot of problems with my laptop HP G61 S.N. [personal information deleted]. Product; VY438EA #ABU. It is running Windows 7 and has an Intel Celeron processor.

  He started running very slowly and took ages to bring up the pages as web pages and software. I tried to do a full scan using Kaspersky Internet Sec 2015 but there was no problems. The hard drive was only 50% fullso, it was not if. I tried the checkdisk function and all the features of tests on the machine. This allowed me to do the memory test that happened, but would not let me do the hard drive test. He was going to start but then after a few seconds she stop and return to the previous screen. I then did a factory reset, which is something I do here and there to empty the garbage, but this time, it took nearly five hours to complete the work. He has never been longer than before. Now when I turn it on it takes about thirty minutes to get up and running and is so slow to an absolute age to do anything.

  Any ideas will be appreciated, regards, dannyd47.

  Hi, just to let you know I have installed a new hard drive and reinstalled everything and it's all working perfectly so that was the problem. I thank very you much for your help, it was very appreciated. Best regards, Danny

• How to defragment on 3 very slow laptops

  for people who aren't computer tell me to do something, but I don't how or what you mean, I just have 3 laptops very slow and have no idea how to do to solve the problems

  Kerri

  What version of Windows?

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

  If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner also comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  I need the version of Windows to give advice on the defragmentation.

• very slow laptop, formatted several times, always slow

  My laptop used to work perfectly and quickly. However, lately it has been running terribly slow. I have reset the software to factory several times - still slow. I received a new standard ISO MS, (X 17-58997), cut on a dvd, reloaded the o/s.

  It takes several days to load the o/s. Also, it took several attempts for a reason any. I had to delete all partitions, including the HP ones (sigh) stock, to get it in French - last night. However, it is still being slow extremmmmely. I removed the ram and tried different sticks - same thing. This may not be a software problem - can it? It must be hardware.

  Help!

  Serial number [thank you for visiting the Forums from HP Support. I'm sorry to inform you that your message needs some changes to remove personal information].
  Product number A3G47AV warranty status covered under the warranty end date 2014-09-17 (YYYY-MM-DD)

  Yes, after you run the diagnostic tests, I discovered that the drive is faulty. He was quickly replaced by HP under warranty. He has been reinstalled and is back to race fast and awesome. Thanks for your attention fast HP!

• Cannot modify startup programs - very slow laptop computer at startup.

  Hi my laptop is running slow at startup, so I thought I would "change the startup programs" via the control panel.

  I get the message 'Windows Defender is disabled' then when I try to turn it on it freezes.

  I have Microsoft Security Essentials.

  This question was asked several times but no answers that I can see.

  Thank you

  MSE disables Defender by default, MSE has its own integrated version of Defender.

  You can try this from Microsoft:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

  See you soon.

• Extremely slow laptop

  Hi, I have a Dell Laptop Inspiron 1300 I use in the store where I work.  He got to the place where is is extremely slow to start, open a browser and sometimes even locksup.

  I went to the Dell view and ran the full derniŠre utility and everything happened but the 'line read test '.  When the desired content 'read the line' he would say "running" but would never be progess is omitted or passed. "  I then tested the HD only.  There are two tests.  Test the HD and HD stress test.  The HD passed the test of the HD, but when I run the test of stress of HD and he looked at the line 'reading' the same test as above has happened.

  I guess that the HD is bad and he is about to die.

  Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

  Thanks for your help.  Problem solved.  Compensation settled and it fixed the problem.  I'm confused by the slow start.  But live and learn.

  Thanks again.

• Slow laptop only when playing online games

  Each new cell phone has similar problems.
  On this forum, you will find many topics similar with good explanation why this happens and what we can do about it.

  What you need is the optimization of the OS.

• Satellite C50D-B-120 is slow

  I bought 2 satellite C50D-B-120 pscn4e-00x00qen and both are very very slow.
  the touchpad freezes and even browse the web is a battle.

  I can't even watch videos on you tube, I bought 2 and they are 4 days old

  something is very wrong.

  Hello

  What you wrote in your first assignment is the theme that we have on this forum for years. New laptops are slow. You can find old discussions on slow start or portable bad performance. There is nothing new.

  To be honest my laptop with 'presets' was too slow.

  When you get the new notebook you will get it with the factory settings. It is pre-installed with recovery image that includes the system operation, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and some additional software. For example, the default installation of Windows updates is set to automatic. In other words, your system will detect the updates and install them without asking you. Can you imagine what happens with performance if updates of 10 MB will be downloaded and installed in the background without asking you? The HARD drive will be very busy and very slow laptop.

  What you need is the optimization of the operating system. Remove all the unnecessary stuff from the system. Turn off all the unnecessary stuff start. Disable automatic update of windows.

  Configure the preinstalled OS so that you simply use applications and background processes that you really need.

  I did the same thing on my computer and it works much better than before. 5 months I've updated with SSD. Now, it goes very quickly and I can say with certainty: it was a very good investment.

• Satellite C660 is slow - drive 'failure '?

  Hello Forum - I hope someone can help.

  My children (PC) run a C660-IST (two years). I say "run" - the machine is going at a snail pace. Confession - their father always worked on Apple (I know, I know...) then i@m beating everywhere to try to help them. With success limited.

  I found called 'Computer' and he said:

  Hard drives (3)

  WINDOWS (C :)) 81.3 GB free of 149 GB
  Data (:)) free d GB 148 141 GB
  Microsoft Office 2010 click-toRun (protected) (q)

  I had thought that children had simply filled memory working with games (Sims and Zoo Tycoon), but - looking at the available memory which doesn't seem to be the case.

  So I ran the program 'Diagnostic Tool'. Everything was going well... until he ran the 'HARD drive '. And he says 'FAIL' in the box 'results '.

  It's that I could get. Not sure why the result of the 'FAIL' is here. Don't know what the children may have done to the machine.

  Two questions:

  -"disc HARD FAILURE" would cause the machine so slow?

  and

  -What can I do to try to solve the problem?

  Please, be soft with any response - PC management is NOT my forte!

  Thank you very much

  Helpless dad

  > "disc HARD FAILURE" would cause the machine so slow?

  Yes, a faulty HARD disk can be the reason for the performance of the slow laptop.

  > can I do to try to solve the problem?

  There are some things that need to be clarified.
  If its a drive problem HARD physics, the only real solution is: replacing the HARD drive.
  If the problem is related to bad sectors and files stored on the HARD drive, the solution could be much easier:
  First of all I recommend you clean the system using CCleaner (freeware software)
  You could delete the stored time.
  Additional you may defragment HARD drive partitions.
  Here is a nice article from Microsoft:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx#fBid=opdomAEomx0

  But if you notice any improvements, you can format the HARD drive and install the system using the Toshiba recovery disc.
