T400 incredibly slow Windows 7 boot

Hello

I came across a problem that I can't bring myself to its cause is a mystery to me:

I got OEM Vista Ultimate installed on my T400, which worked well, but since I installed Windows 7 today, the windows startup takes unusually long, make me stuck "starting Windows" screen for about 10 minutes each time. Once it starts, it works OK without hiccups or lag whatsoever.

I have no idea where the root of this problem may be, perhaps this will give you an idea.

I had two T400 lying around, it had taken defective helmet (stuck somewhere, so the computer assumes that the headphones are always connected, so I could not any sound on the speakers.) As the headphone jack is soldered to the motherboard, I needed to replace the mobo) and the other had it bad LCD. So I decided to use the functional components to build a fully functional T400 and sell the other for parts.

So what I did:

-Exchange of the LCD screens (LCD good + good mobo, bad LCD + bad mobo)

-Exchange processors (because one with defective plug had 2, 53Ghz - anything but the sound was very good! - while the other had only 2, 4 GHz)

-swapped hard drives (as those with defective jack was the computer I used usually, there were W7 installed, while the other had Vista)

I put them together and all in one that has Vista booted up quicky as usual (although as before, his mobo was used with a processor more fast and Windows 7), that now with W7 took forever to start up, which has never happened before. I thought it would be because of the CPU (the BIOS reset or disconnect the battery helped CMOS), if I swapped processors once more (-> back to their original mobos). The defective machine with Vista had no problems turning, but it did not help the machine running W7.

Here is the mystery:

I swapped hard drives too, so the only change in their original configuration was the display (swapped defective TFT 1280 x 800 for good LED 1440 x 900) and after that two of them were able to start normally.

But once I erased the disc HARD with Vista on it, which worked very well in the machine where the drive of W7 took forever to start and reloaded Windows 7 at this disk, the problem returned.

Now I have two T400s with Windows 7, but rather of takes ages to start.

For the best image:

  • Firefox works incredibly slow (as in the window is barely functional, not anything related to connection speed) when I run some games on my computer.

    Hello

    Last month, I got a strange problem with my Firefox browser in certain situations. The question is only apparent when executing some 3D games (most often when I run Diablo III). Each time these games is loaded my Firefox browser works incredibly slow. This isn't a question of a connection problem or such, the loading speed is very good, but the actual clicks, bookmark clicks, entered keyboard etc take a few seconds to register.

    I tried Firefox running in failsafe mode which immediately makes the problem disappears. However, whenever I run it in normal mode the problem will be even if I disable all plugin and simple addon. I also tried to reinstall firefox and my addons and flash player times, the problem remains.

    For what it's worth, another browser, I installed is not the problem at all (despite the same some addons installed - I only have 3 of them).

    Someone has an idea what could be the problem? Is the failsafe mode inactivate the other thing the addons and plugins listed in the addon section?

    Thanks in advance

  • Incredibly slow to boot from Mavericks Dreamweaver

    Hello

    Since the update to the Mavericks (10.9.0 13A Build 603), Dreamweaver CC (13.1 Build 6443) has become incredibly slow to start.

    When I look at the newspaper, there is this line:

    23/10/2013 17:47:52.426 Dreamweaver [3276]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name "Proxima Nova Semibold" and got fonts with PostScript "ProximaNova-Semibold" name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

    Repeat with each font that I installed on my system. for example:

    23/10/2013 18:49:07.538 Dreamweaver [3629]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name 'Libyan SC' ordinary and got fonts with PostScript 'STLibian-SC-Regular' name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

    After that he went through all the fonts on my system finally, Dreamweaver will then start.  Has anyone another considering somewhere else or have a fix?

    Thank you

  • Mail becomes incredibly slow, but only if I download attachments

    Mail becomes incredibly slow, but only if I download attachments (photos, files pdf, etc]

    This has happened a lot lately.

    If I get a message with, say, some photos attached Works Mail very well. However, if I can download files attached to my iMac mail becomes so incredibly slow, even if I delete the email with the files. If I quit Mail and then restart the problem persists... I literally spinning beachball if I want to compose a message... everything still works, but each action takes forever. I tried to rebuild the mailbox, but it does not work. The only way to recover messages to work properly (at normal speed) is to restart the computer.

    All ideas

    [I have 24Go of ram on end of 2012 3.4 ghz iMac with a fusion 3 TB drive]

    Start Safe Mode removes the system caches that can help...

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try to download an attachment.

  • Computer pavilion laptop i7 incredibly slow

    Hi, I have a hp pavilion 2321ss g6 with a processor intel core i7. I had for about 2 years. It had not occurred to me to use this forum til now.

    Initially, he had run on win8, but he was almost inoperative (very slow) and I have upgraded to windows 10.

    As I installed the new computer system was incredibly slow and lazy. Opening a program, for example a browser may take more than a minute, making it unusable. Old computers are faster. I think all the updates on the system are made.

    Startup time is 300 seconds, and after that start it does not work well, on the contrary, it takes time to "warm up".

    What can I do?

    Thank you

  • AZ-605 new incredibly slow

    I have new AZ-605-UR23 which is a really nice computer, but is incredibly slow.  I migrated to a more old Pentium 3 Windows XP set up that was lightning fast. I must say at the outset that my computer skills are minimal so feel free to correct any assumptions I could have done. My system came with windows installed 8.0 and I upgraded to 8.1.  I checked the Acer website after seeing an analysis of Belarc on my computer missed me 3 updates of pilot.  I downloaded and install in awhile.

    The problem, I ran in - I ran a few software - driverupdate.com [the site says it's as a Microsoft certified partner, so I guess it is reputible].  When I downloaded their software and ran it the result was that I have 13 drivers that are obsolete.  Looking for acer driver update site again there are only 3 updates [the ones I downloaded] 8.1.  When I looked for 8.0 updates the names of the pilots did not correspond to the specific series listed at Acer. some of the manufacturers [Intel and Realtek] were the same, but others [for example, liteon, wistron, NVIDIA] were not on my list.

    I called support and told to download and install all the drivers of 8.0 and my system would be fixed.  I kept stressing that none of the names was the same, but the response was the same.  New - I'm obviously not an expert, but I don't want to make a mistake and have to go back to something stupid.

    Thanks a lot for any help

    Yet once again, I want to thank everyone for their help!  My Acer has been lowered to 8.0 and I'm a happy camper.  I'm always implemented, but should be finished today.

    I just wanted to share something that can have an impact on the whole of the problem initially, I remind you all that I am not a techie and where what I say is incredibly stupid please don't laugh too hard.

    Yesterday I was checking pre-sets on 8.0 and discovered that MS patches are updated automatically.  I thought that was the case because he had some sort of update itself installed approximately 0300 Saturday morning.  In any case, earlier I had checked something on the Panel "information on the performance and tools" and generated a small report I printed "more details on my computer" which assessed my computer at a 9.9 3.9. There was a date on this report was dated June 13, 2013.  I bought the computer the first week of December and received mid-December.  I'm assuming that this date indicates when the sysytm was put in place and is "birthday" of the computer.

    This prompted me to check the line on the updated area that was something like update history.  History has shown that I was GONE 90 essential or important updates! When the computer has been unpacked and physically put in place, I think I remember that I was prompted to download 8.1 immediately before continuing the installation of things.  A hacker has helped me set up and started the update and returned the next day to finish the rest of the installation.

    Bottom line - 8.1 has been installed on a system lacking 90 updates to the previous version of a system, it was the upgrade.  An assumption on my part, is that the missing updates would have been necessary for the 8.1 install to be indeed installed.  I have to download/install updates 90 on the current system of 8.0; It seems to work even better was the case prior to the updates and it was working fine before.

    In fact, the only reason why I'm writing this is in the offchance I'm right and that was the problem, it can help someone else.  The solution proposed by the members of the forum was right on - wish I had not feared to do so and stopped what I was doing and just downgraded.  8.0 seems really easy and everything works fine.

  • Development in C/C++ is make incredibly slow PC

    Hello

    I'm having a hard life because of development of Applications C/C++ on Windows 7 64 bit. A month ago I tried working with my projects using OpenCV C/C++ with the Code::Blocks IDE libraries on my PC. I have added all the necessary libraries, headers, binary, etc. to my property sheet for the project (NOT IN VS, to Code::Blocks). After creating and running my application to test a few times. I get these questions:
    (1) exploring is incredibly slow: takes about 20 to 25 seconds to open a window
    (2) same thing happens with applications like the browser, Control Panel, System properties, etc.
    (3) the volume icon in taskbar comes almost 20 seconds after clicking.
    This is outrageous, I even installed on a Windows XP machine and it works like a magic. I turned the world-wide web inside to outside but no one is quite logical to give me a clear answer. I even spent the IDE to Visual C++ Express 2010 and rebuilt all my OpenCV libraries to adhere to Visual C++ 2010. However, nothing changes and even a simple C++ programming involving floating and whole number computation is now slow PC after a few generations and run. How is what is happening?
    I'm considers MSDN as my last stop before concluding that my PC is rubbish. I have an i5, cache L3, 8 GB of RAM and 500 GB HDD (80% free). Everything you say, please please please please do not say that my machine is underspec. because still more professionally experienced developers use lower the standard machines.

  • First CC2015 - interaction of the interface is incredibly slow.

    Hello!

    As shown in the topic I have a problem with that. I recently installed CC15 on a new system, all the drivers/codecs are updated.
    Play or rub through images is no problem, but interactions with the interface is incredibly slow. -> (Registration form: PCC15 - YouTube )
    Trimming or moving of clips is not very pleasant. I tried switching MPE software, no difference.


    It is exactly the same in CC14 as I tried to install it as well. Everything worked flawlessly on my system (cc14) previous, the problem started with the new facility.


    The material should not be a problem. As it worked fine on my old spec (i7 2600 k @ 4.4 Ghz/16 GB / GTX770)

  • Why Muse runs incredibly slow?

    Muse is incredibly slow... I'm working on a very simple site... the file is only 9.3 MB. No idea why it runs so slow? I use a trial version of Muse because I want to see how it behaves and if she could be a good purchase for me, but if it runs it slow I don't know if I want to buy it...

    Specifications of the computer:

    16 GB of ram

    CPU AMD Phenom II X 6 1090 t. (3.20 GHz)

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    I'm not really a player... I does not play well some Starcraft. One of my friends helped me to build myself a computer.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I checked for malware. There were about a quarter of an inch of dust on the heatsink that was on my processor so after I removed which helped A LOT. The Muse is still wobbly, so I just rebuilt from zero and no problems so far. He must have gotten corrupted somehow.

    I own a Macbook that I bought in 2013.

    Memory: 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

    Four days ago, that I've updated my system to El Capitan v10.11.6. At first, he seemed to be well-developed, but after about 12 hours, it started to become really slow - and I don't speak incredibly slow. Almost all of the clicks or typing a letter takes forever.

    I downloaded a free version of CleanMyMac, and it shows that I have to constantly only between 50 and 300 MB of RAM free. I also read that you should let Spotlight indexes all yout files, but it maintains at the end and starting over.

  • Windows 10 boots and stuck on the black screen with high CPU

    Hello

    I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

    I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

    1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

    2. I can always start OSX fine during this period.

    3. I tried to leave in the black screen for a good 10 minutes, but it does not change and the MBP gets really hot.

    4. I tried clearing NVRAM with Boot option + command + P + R

    5 I can't in Windows 10 safe mode using F8 or FN + F8 after you select windows to boot manager (starting with the down option).  Am I missing something here?

    I don't have a copy of Installer windows 10 with me right now unless someone can tell me how to create one under OSX.

    I searched on the internet forum and apple, but have not found a solution that works for me.  Many speak of win10 black screen with cursor showing, but my question is just a black screen with no cursor.

    Someone at - it other ideas besides reinstall Windows 10?

    You have a black screen with or without power adapter, both? If 10 Windows does not start correctly three times, it should bring up the recovery console. Windows automatic updates are enabled? You have created/activated Windows system restore points?

  • El Capitan and Windows 10 Boot Camp Assistant

    Hi, this is my first post so apologies if I've left out anything important. Let me know and I'll add the necessary details.

    Fast, I have been using Windows for years and I wanted to get into Apple and finally last month made the leap. I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM El Capitan - 10.11.4 running. However, I am having a lot of problems with the creation and installation of 10 Windows using Boot Camp.

    I had this work with Windows 10 times but made some fundamental mistakes. I resized the partition windows using a windows product so that I could add another partition. This seemed to work and I used it for a short time BUT when I tried to boot into El Capitan would not and that it would only boot Windows. After reading on what I see now that resize the windows from windows under Boot Camp partition is a no-no. lesson learned!

    To actually do things once again, I removed the windows partitions using disk utility. (Again I see now that it is an another no-no that I'd
    used Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows!) Eventually however, I managed to get to El Capitan, working on the single partition, it is now again works fine and as far as I can tell without any problem.

    After having to go that if I went back to load 10 Windows using Boot Camp. All works until the final start in the section windows it:

    • Creates the separate windows partition
    • Load the ISO file
    • The Windows Support Tools downloads
    • Runs the ISO file and everything looks good... see below: (apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots)

    Then, during 'Finish Up', I get an error window:

    "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows restart installation. »

    I tried many things such as to download the Windows ISO file again, running SNC and LANDAU after removing the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant and ensure that all other connections to the MBP is deleted except WiFi and get always the same message. As the whole process takes a few hours and tried to work through this for some days now, I would really appreciate some advice/help here for this issue very frustrating sorted.

    Thanks in advance
