So slow MacBook for about 10-15 minutes then better

I have a late 2008 Macbook, CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz, memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB graphics card

Recently updated to the Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 - but was the problem before, so I don't think its caused by the latest operating system.

It's so slow whenever he wakes up first, and I try to do things, mail, surfing etc - rotation beach ball again and again.  Then after that I'm down for awhile it seems free without all them hang up and gal - any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

The first thing that strikes me is that you have need of more memory. 2 GB is not enough for El Capitan. When waking from sleep, you reload any launch officers you have installed. And if you have a hard drive to sleep in system preferences energy, which will also slow things down initially.

    Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the TV.

    A power reset.

    1 turn off the TV.
    2. unplug the power cord of the TV from the power outlet.
    3. let the TV remain without power for 60 seconds.
    4 plug the power cord into the power outlet.
    5. turn on the TV.

    If the problem persists, try to pull up the TV menu when the sound and the image is lost, just press the Wega door button on the supplied remote control. See the menu? Note If there is no light, which will blink on the Panel of the TV when the problem occurs.

    The extension Freeven pro is probably the problem. Only that disable and check again.

    If you have the same problem after having disabled the extension pro Freeven then, disable graphics hardware acceleration.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

    Just upgraded to Win.8 when I try and play BBC I player or the BBC radio he will play for about 30 seconds and then starts to put in the memory buffer, all of the ideas.

    Hi Mike,.

    This could be a problem with Internet streaming on BBC iplayer or BBC radio.

    I would like to gather some details related to the query:

    (1) is this problem specific to the reader of the BBC or BBC radio? Are you having the same problem watching videos online or listen to music online on the computer?

    (2) deal with the issue with a single channel on the radio?

    (3) how you try to use the iplayer? It uses the browser? If so, what is the Internet browser?

    If this problem is specific to the BBC radio or iplayer, you can post the query on the forum from the BBC to help:

    http://www.BBC.co.UK/iPlayer/episode/p0196ln8/The_Forum_Fragility_in_Nature/#

    Please get back to us if the issue is not specific to the BBC player and we would be happy to help you come.

    There is a problem with these models of Leica cameras providing accurate information in the EXIF data F stop. Photomerge for HDR and Panorama will use this information to "mix" the image files. A solution has been found using an EXIF here Editor:

    This may or may not be the source of your problem, but worth investigating. Try to use any other device non-Leica and do a quick test Panorama or HDR and see if you get the same message.

  • Black screen when starting up for about 5-15 minutes

    The first two times it happened, I would like to re start the computer and I would get the Bios screen, but when she reaches the windows screen it would go black. for about 3 minutes. Then everything would be fine.

    Now, I get the black screen as soon as I turn on the computer it stays black for about ten to fifteen minutes. It arises suddenly, all on its own.

    Ive tried... Hardware and software updates, including windows. Ive tried cache ram, flushing, Ive tried unplugging, stall everything and reconnect. Ive tried to use another monitor. Uninstall all antivirus software. Ive tried to adjust the boot parameters.  Ive tried to adjust the resolution of the screen.

    I don't know what to do?

    Hey everybody,

    Update!

    Eventually the monitor never returned.  So it was out of service until I fixed it.

    Several hours in my resolution of problems, I discovered the problem.   The "monitor Extra I was using was nonfuctional out of the box" once I realized that I concentrated on the screen itself.  With a little research in my monitor (formerly broken), I discovered that there are problems with capacitor.

    Of course once I opened the monitor, two of the capacitors had jumps/bulging upward.  So they had blown... It was a slow burn.  So, as I used it, the capacitor lost ability to work...  So I replaced two capacitors with a bit of sodering. Turn the monitor together and TADA!  Monitor is fully functional.

    In case you're wondering the monitor that I use is a Samsung (apparently a lot of capacitor problems in its monitors) model 906BW.

    Also, I guess I should of mentioned that this is not a laptop. Its a desktop computer.

    Confirmed FIX: Replacing two capacitors bulged/jumps inside the monitor.

  • My computer freezes for about half a minute after that Windows puts the monitor in standby

    When I leave my computer unattended for a moment and the monitor turns off automatically, after I come back and move the mouse from the computer freezes completely for about 30 seconds, mouse, it will beep and then returns to normal. Each power saving in Power Options disabled, out of the screen turned off after 10 minutes. Also, I noticed that it is not only the monitor. If I use my computer for, say, 15 minutes, everything works fine. But if I leave it for an hour - freeze. It's a notebook based on AMD/ATI (Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Pa 3553). Any ideas?

    I've identified the cause. Concealment of Auto Start menu is causing my problem.

  • My Dell 15R crashes if I play a game (GTA IV, II M.a.f.i.a) for about 3-4 minutes and BSOD appears

    I just got a new Dell 15R (i7, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB HDD, AMD HD 7730 M 2 GB graphics) and I tried to play M.a.f.i.a2 with and without steam and twice, after playing them for 3-4 minutes, the game crashed and BSOD appeared. It happened so in GTA IV. I've updated my graphics driver, but it made no difference. I also did a system restore, which also did not work. The error that I got from the event viewer:-System - Provider [name] Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power [Guid] {331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4} event 41 Version 2 level 1 task Opcode 0 keywords 0 63 ID x 8000000000000002 - TimeCreated [SystemTime] 2013-01 - 21 T 18: 52:05.392015600Z EventRecordID 12512 correlation - execution [ProcessID] 4 [ThreadID] 8 channels computer system Kasutaja-PC - security [UserID] S-1-5-18 - EventData BugcheckCode 278 BugcheckParameter1 0xfffffa80080424e0 BugcheckParameter2 0xfffff880015aaaf4 BugcheckParameter3 0 x 0 BugcheckParameter4 0 x 2 SleepInProgress fake PowerButtonTimestamp 0

    This BSOD could be linked to the power options?

    Yes. No guarantee, but when playing system emphasizing games that you want to use the High-Performance option.
    The other options are there to help extend a battery charge, but you can not expect to
    play these games on the battery (for long), or without as much power as possible.
    Your graphics for laptops is certainly capable.
