  • Toshiba 320 GB external HARD drive make my very slow computer

    Hello.

    I bought this product a few weeks ago now, and every time I use it, it makes my computer go tp so slow to the point where I can't actually do something on this subject, due to the fact that everything becomes inadmissible. Also, the rate at which I transfer files to it is also very slow. Any ideas why and what I can do to speed things up a bit?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You suggested that the laptop becomes slowly during the use of the external HARD drive.
    I guess that transfer you a data from the HARD drive internal to the external USB HDD.
    I think that it s not very rare, that the laptop runs slowly during the transmission of the data.
    It depands on the program that runs in the context of the operating system.

    I put t know which interface you use USB2 or USB only, but data transfer depends on the interface.

    I hope that someone can help you. My computer is very slow and unstable since the El Capitan 10.11.3 patch. I am on a MacBook Pro 15 "-end 2011. The computer is particularly slow in Safari, but was slower than normal as well. I backed up my files in Time Machine to an external drive before any troubleshooting, so I'm really happy about it. The person had me clear everything and go into recovery mode and reinstall the OS. After that I had problems with closing down and restart so I reinstalled again and just have not stopped since then. I don't him have NOT YET migrated all my files back and will not until I know that the system is stable. My laptop is functional but still just very slow. Can someone please help? I'm desperate! Thank you so much in advance!

  • Very slow computer after the latest updates

    Hello

    I've updated one of my PCs running Vista x 64 updates of security two days ago.
    Now that the systems takes more than 15 minutes just to start at the opening screen of session and as much time again to get on the desktop.
    The mouse cursor is always fast as usual, but everything else including the caret blink time is super slow.

    This is a really clean system which is used strictly for dedicated 3D work, so he has nothing but Max, EU3 and WinZip on it.  It is not used for Internet access.
    No hardware or software changes attempted in several months, other than updates Windows System.
    Intel C2Q Q6600, 8 GB 1066 RAM, NVidia 8800GTS 512, WD 500 GB HD, ASUS P5K mobo.

    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with updates, especially as it's really painful trying to solve the problems since that it literally takes hours to try whatever it locate either changes the problem.  I'll do a wipe and reinstall if I have to spend a lot more time with reboots, it will be faster.

    I am answering my own question here... :-)
    Maybe it will help someone else and save a few hours of work waiting for the slow start to fix things.

    For those who are interested: the OS is Vista Home Premium x 64. Material has been listed above. It is a high-end with hardware system high range, coolers, cases, power supply, etc.
    This is not a system of job full time, it is used only for specific work I usually do a few hours on one or two days a week.

    I timed it really starts the Welcome screen and it is more than 45 minutes. lol :-D
    I pulled off the side of the case and noticed that the HDD was just chewing on something.
    Start in safe mode was also just as painfully slow as standard start (argh).

    Regarding the updates of Windows, I have this system set to inform only, so I only install updates at the end of all the days that I work on the computer. Where my assumption that it's a matter of update that caused the problem, since nothing ever changes, on this subject - files are still saved out to a network server.

    However, once I could get on the computer, I noticed that I had also installed Windows Live Mail top the same day I did the updates of Windows (two days ago). WLM has been installed just to get a screenshot of it for my blog, it was never really used for Internet e-mail, it should be uninstalled some time on one of the next system bootups.

    Then... Installation apparently a combination of WLM or the latest Windows updates has completely borked something on the computer starts.
    I got my DVD of Vista, it started, ran the Startup Repair. Now, the system works very well. WLM has been uninstalled in the case where it has been part or all of the guilty.
    As with a PC, it could be something to do with the specific hardware and software configuration, the order of WLM and updates installed, specific updates installed, etc..

    I would recommend that anyone with a similar configuration be sure to install WLM or updates in the estate where they fall in the same question.
    Just don't panic if you have problems, try a DVD Vista Startup Repair. :-)

  • Windows 7 Build 7601 copy is not authentic - very slow computer

    -Very well, so I am posting this from my smartphone because my computer is slower than a brick right now. As the title says, my computer is saying that my copy of windows is not genuine. Who is Mario total I had zero proboems since the acquisition in 2010 directly from HP before going to College.  A few days ago it started running very slowly until it would not all browsers or even folders for more than 15 minutes. This problem seems to resolve itself and I blame it on the recent updates. Then my projected computer blue and when I started it back up her do the same thing now with error not authentic and now no browser will open, period. So no dice on the execution of the wgadiag.exe on the windows site. I tried safe mode, but he found himself hooked on one of the .sys files. I looked similar questions and have reduced to the store of confidence Tamper being obsolete, malware or hard drive failure. I am running malwarebytes to determine whether malicious software exists. In the meantime, I was wondering if there is any other possible suggestions. If Mo can't find anything, I'll try a safe boot and see if it works this time. If it hangs on the same file is there a way to fix this? I appreciate any help in this matter. If I can get to execute mgadiag, I'll post the results although it seems highly unlikely at the moment. Once again, thanks in advance!

    Ignore me, I'm stupid. I forgot that HP has a built in hard drive test in BIOS, running, and of course my hard drive is out. It doesn't have the short DST so I'm pretty much GROUND on this one. Well that's life.

    Have you installed some antivirus or firewall? If you disable what are your speeds better?

    Here is a document on improving your system.

    If these things do not help, I would consider a refresh of Windows 8.  Do not forget to save music films and documents in the case where.

    The reset will install the original driver and sometimes to solve the problem of the slow speeds or slow to develop.

  • System volume information stolen hard drive. VERY slow computer and windows show only (not answer) for 2 to 10 seconds at a time. Help, please.

    After starting my computer to Windows 7 Enterprise, I noticed that it runs very slowly.  for example, the scrolling of a window of firefox crashes every 10 seconds or more.  The gel lasts between 2 and 10 seconds with the little blue wheel, spinning, (not answer) in the toolbar.

    I pulled the top of resource monitor and to see that 4 PID - C:\System Volume Information\ {guid} {guid} is running non-stop with about 720ko read by writing dry and 6 MB per second Disk 0 length of the queue is pegged at 5.  from time to time (once every 10 to 15 minutes), the queue goes to 0 and the computer starts acting normally (i.e. fast) again.  But once the length of the queue points to 5, the problems continue.

    I am running in raid 5.

    I noticed that vssvc.exe is running (PID 4144) with a reference to c:\System Volume Information and the same GUID as PID 4 - system and kernel.

    Any idea what I can do to get back on my computer?  At this point, it is absolutely unusable.

  • CHKDSK freezes, very slow computer

    My computer runs very slowly from the windows of the last update. Many messages "not responding". Explorer, and pretty much any program I try to open freezes. The suggested problem solver running CHKDSK to search for disk errors.  He gets in what concerns the step 4 of 5 and 16766 330800 file it seems to freeze. The first time that I left it for more than 2 hours then turn it off. The next time I let him run and he just seemed to give place and loaded Windows. Any ideas? How long should I wait?
