Very slow and unstable computer!

I bought a HP Pavilion dv7 (4 GB RAM w / Intel Centrino Dual Core 2.5 GHz) running Windows Vista Edition family 64 bit to replace my old HP Pavillion dv1000 (1.5 GB RAM w / Intel Celeron M350 1.3 GHz) running Windows XP Pro .

What is happening is that the new computer is much slower than the right to an old box! While with the old I had the rare camera, with the new that I blocked a couple of times a day and I don't see anything but "ANSWERS DO not" messages!
I only use the computer for Internet and email (as does not work with anything else). My score for the computer is 4.8.

That's what I've tried so far:
Update the BIOS after hours talking with HP support;
Update all possible drivers from the HP website;
Check the disk for errors;
Disk defragmentation;
Keep Windows defender updated;
Keep antivirus updated;
Remove the stuff at the start;
Disable the services that I don't use;
Disable all Visual effects;

I don't know what else to do! Does anyone have another tip (in addition to install another OS)?

Thank you

Got rid of the problem: install another OS and computer works ok. Tested so far for 2 weeks and no flaws of any kind.
Still having no idea what was wrong with Windows Vista 64 bit.

  • Satellite Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
    The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).

    It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).

    I have already tried:

    -Update the Realtek drivers.
    -Disconnect the firewall;
    -Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.

    Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?

    Thank you!

    Hi Patrick,

    If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.

    Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.

    By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

    I suggest you to install the updates one by one and reboot the computer after installing each update to verify that update is causing the problem.

    Also note the updates that you install on the computer.

    Once you come to know what update is causing the problem, let us know.

    Do not install any driver updates offered by Windows Update. Find them in the manufacturer's website instead.

  • Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

    I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

    Hello

    Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
    the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

    Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
    role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

    Hello, Cyrille,.

    This could be caused due to viruses or malware on the computer.

    Follow the following troubleshooting methods:

    Method 1:

    Download Microsoft Safety Scanner, scan your computer for viruses and malware and then check its operation.

    You can download Microsoft Safety Scanner from the link "scan to Microsoft Security.

    Note:  The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. All data that are infected must be cleaned only by deleting all of the data, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

    Run System File Check to fix the corrupted system files and then check how it works.

    See the link "How to use the file system tool Checker to troubleshoot system missing or damaged files on Windows Vista or Windows 7" to run the System File Check.

    Note: It can ask the Windows DVD difficulty and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.

    I hope this helps you solve the problem. If the problem persists or if you have other problems with Windows, please post in the Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.

  • 30/31 of Firefox is very slow and plant constantly?

    Hello.
    Since I updated to 30 FF, I find it VERY slow and it blocks many times a day. I was happy when version 31 is out because I thought it would work better, but it doesn't.
    The pages take forever to is to load, most of the time they will not and I have to recharge myself and then maybe they are responsible.
    Also, it crashes all the time. I noticed it's on down each time that it kind of "freeze" or when it is something big, which is not at all big load. I've never had this problem before, but have been dealing with this for months now and I'm tired instead.

    I think I have almost tried everything. Even uninstalled. I'd appreciate any help, as I would like to continue using it. Thank you.

    My iPad has been slow and unstable - it actually seems to be hung when I use it. Once I put it, a blue line with four faces (which forms a rectangle or square) appears on the display and moves as he tries to anticipate my next actions or touch on the scree. All started about four days ago while I was downloading of articles in google scholar. A message that reflects something as "run scripts" or "scripts to run" appeared just before the problem started.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
