Slow, slower frozen laptop

I don't know what happened or when it happened, but my laptop has become so slow. It freezes on every 3 or 4 movements. I am connected to the internet, but my fix of microsoft program says to check my connection. I am so computer illiterate-frustrated because I don't know what the heck that happened and getting worse by the minute. I have a question it was not so long ago on my computers performance and did not apply the remedy you all for the moment... Help.

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
strange problems).

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DrirveView - set the VIEW to hide
Microsoft drivers - update those without drain in their names. (Also update BIOS and)

drivers chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard.)

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
first.

  • Frozen laptop after Windows 10 download

    I tried to load windows 10 to my laptop and it was loading forever.  I left it last night and now the computer is frozen on the password screen.  Keys and the mouse are inadmissible.  Help!

    Hi Joan,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem, your computer is frozen to the login screen. First, try hard, restart the computer and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    If the problem persists, I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  • Frozen laptop to "install updates 1 of 1.

    I have a laptop Acer 5542 6 months old. In the last month, I got the blue screen twice, and I have no idea why. The laptop has been hot, is it possible that? I have now bought a laptop to computer has hope that was the least of my problems.

    Apparently not.

    I used my laptop this morning and then it turned off, and he said that he was '1 1' updates to be precise. I went out and left, I came back 5 hours later and it froze on this message, it was plugged, but my mother disconnected so that the screen went black so I told her to turn it off it had made updates to the thought.

    I plugged the laptop back in because the battery should be dead by the time, I'm home

    I don't know what to do, if you want to disable it and run the risk of seeing what is happening or what. Any way that the blue screen is related to that?

    Acer said it is out of warranty, but it has not reached the 6-month period yet!

  • Frozen laptop up - no access

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934. When I received a message "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to the computer. Now, when you turn on the pc, it shows the Toshiba start screen and goes no further. Seems to have stopped. Impossible to get in Mode safe', F2 or F12 do not respond and the recovery disks do not work. Could really use help SMEs. Am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Call Toshiba and see what are the options they give you.

    They will probably ask you to try to restore the system to factory settings, then you might want to get some kind of bootable CD/DVD first (some Linux Live CD - Live CD of Ubuntu is a good choice one OR operation Ultimate Boot CD for Windows is a basis of Linix Ultimate Boot CD) to see if it boots.  Most have tests for hard drives and such integrated.  If she stops on CD and you can get network and others - you can assume that most of the parts are likely good.

    I agree with you. Turn off the laptop in an extreme manner was not wise.

    Try a hard reset:

    Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    Press and hold the power button for more than 15 seconds.
    Plug the DC power adapter (leave the battery for now)
    Press the power button

    If no joy then: (remove the battery and make this diagnosis with the plugged AC adapter)

    (1) remove the memory and put one in the lower SoDIMM slot then try turning on the system. To do this with each module to see if a module of memory has failed is the origin of the problem.

    If no joy with the memory module test:

    Remove the hard drive and turn the laptop and press the power button.  If the BIOS complains that he cannot find any bootable disc, then you have a hard drive problem.

    Never, EVER use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE!  Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot.  If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

    Win7 64 bit was preinstalled on the computer when you bought it?

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  • 19 of Firefox has become incredibly slow since Windows 7 update 27/02/2013

    Yesterday, I used Firefox (recently updated to version 19) and it worked fine.
    Today, it freezes completely on any page (google.com, internal reset page, launch,...)
    The only thing that seems to have changed during the night is an automatic update of Windows 7 from MicroSoft.
    I tried to reset FireFox. = > NET: still exactly as completely slow frozenly
    I completely uninstalled Firefox and deleted the... > > Program Files > > directory Mozilla Firefow,.
    then I reinstalled FireFox from scratch... = > NET: absolutely no improvement.

    What else can I do to remedy the problem of FireFox before I give up and switch to Opera for good?

    I had the same problem today on Windows 8
    I have disabled all add-ons, but always FF cling on most pages (facebook, gmail, bbc News)
    I uninstalled Firefox 19.0.1 then installed Firefox 17.0 upgrade turned 19.0.1 all add-ons back and it works once more.

  • C670 D-115 satellite slow, works well in safe mode

    Hello

    After a clean install, it took 2 days to download all files from Windows Update.
    All operations that use internet are slow, searching for files seems to work well.
    Speedtests DS are 10Mbit on WIfi and LAN (100 Mbit connection), U.S. run more rapid 17 on WIFI 90 Mbits on LAN. In SafeMode with networking of all series of correct.

    I know I can try disabling drivers one by one (msconfig) to find the one that is causing this. But I was hoping that someone knows the problem and can save me time, best, Frank.

    Have you installed original image recovery or your own version of the OS?
    After clean OS installation Windows Update set to automatic so downloading updates runs in background and it slows down laptop performance quickly, especially if you need internet connection.

    Change windows update settings and set it to check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.
    When you have finished your work, you can start update installation.

  • Iolo System Mechanic slows down my Satellite C50A-1

    I got a mailing or some kind of alert to Toshiba to try the Iolo System Mechanic tune up tool recently.
    When I installed it, I found it slowed my laptop rather than to speed because of the TSR 3 he was running in the background all the time. I asked Iolo support if I could disable these but they have never provided a solution, so I uninstalled.

    The thing was that my laptop still felt sluggish. So next I wiped my HDD and restored to factory settings, but it feels always sluggish.

    Is it possible to System Mechanic has damaged my hardware somehow?

    I recommend you do backup recovery. With other words, create a recovery (DVD or USB) media. After that, you can use it to completely erase the HARD drive and reinstall the original recovery image.
    Also set default BIOS. After having done that, your machine must be running as for the first day after the first start.

  • New HP Envy M6 only detect ethernet cable, very slow wifi

    Hello

    Sometimes, the wifi, I get 1mpbs on a 50mpps connection. I'll upload to 5 Mbps, which is normal (but why are my download speeds so slow?) Laptops and other devices work perfectly. Closer to my wireless router (well it's not a router, it is a TG862 of Arris Comcast) seems to alleviate the problem, but... I am no farther than 25 feet away from him in my room!

    I tried to solve this problem by updating the BIOS and the driver Qualcomm Atheros 9485 and apparently not helped at all.

    My concern REALLY, it's THAT EVERYTHING, nothing happens when I plug my ethernet cable into the left side of my laptop. It is in the correct port. It works fine in my xbox, my other laptop and my desktop computer. Other ethernet cables do not work or the other. I noticed there are two holes (which resemble lights) that don't light up, right where I plug the Ethernet cable.

    I followed these instructions piece by piece without success.

    Should I have a burst network card? Help, please! This notebook is so new and brilliant, my other is old and destroyed and won't even take a load! I greatly appreciate it.

    Hello Dollarsignrack,

    You have a problem with your network connection.

    It could be a defective material you may be substituted.

    First, turn off the computer.
    That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load the default values.
    Press F10 to save and exit.

    This should help to detect the Ethernet port.
    When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

    If it is still slow to go to HP.com and update the BIOS and software framework.

    Here are links to the updates.
