Why readyboost makes slow down my laptop rather than speed it up?

I am running Windows7 in a new laptop that I just bought. I tried the readyboost with a 4 GB memory card high speed, but it just slowed me after a few minutes of use. I also tried readyboost in my old PC that was running Windows Vista, it also slowed to a crawl and then frozen. If this was designed to speed up my PC it's does not work!

If you have more than 2 GB of RAM, so there is absolutely NO reason at all using readyboost - you won't see one iota of difference...

ReadyBoost is designed to allow computers with 1 GB of RAM or less to run Windows 7 at a reasonable speed.

I think it is HIGHLY unlikely that your new computer with Windows 7 has less than 2 GB of RAM...

    Why my PC slow down after loading of Norton Internet security 2012

    Because Norton is a Devourer of resources. I would say deleting and using a user-friendly program over Windows.
     
    Norton and McAfee are the two least friendly Windows security and swine resource to start programs. My ISP offers the McAfee security suite for free and I refuse to use it.
     
    I used to use Avast in conjunction with Windows Defender, (still a decent option), but since MSE became of age, I have used which. MSE is an anti-virus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware program all in one. IMO, it is a program MS got it wrong. And all of these options are freeware.
     
    If you choose to give it a try, download and save the MSE. Remove Norton and install MSE.

    Hello

    Overall Windows 10 RTM when available should increase your performance in video
    is the key as with games or be at least as good as Windows 7 or better for another type
    programs. Of course a lot of performance indicators are subject to the BIOS, chipset drivers.
    and other important factors.

    If you are upgrading, and then don't like Windows 10 you can always return to your
    present Windows 7.

  • Why my computer slows down

    09 August to the a few weeks ago, I had a modem for internet on my computer. As we know, dialup is very slow. But a few weeks ago I had my digital internet on and things have accelerated. But I'm having a problem with some Web pages. It seems that whenever I try to open more than 1 page, or I come to a page that has a lot of objects in motion on it, everything slows to a crawl. I used to now have this problem when I had internet faster before. I downloaded the latest versions of Adobe Flash player, shockwave last, more recent readers Real and Quicktime, and yet my computer slows down. I need to update any other thing or what? Or I did my updates get corrupted when I had access to remote and if yes, how to say? Thank you

    Hi miles,

    I want to start by saying that all the options of the Internet high speed are not equal. You could see the right speed for the connection you have.

    But... There are a few things we can look at to make sure that your system runs as quickly as possible. Your system seems to work "eye catching" or "flange" in its use of local emissions? :-)

  • Moving body slowing down my laptop when NOT to use the software?

    Hello!

    I am brand new to this forum and also to Premiere Pro.

    I would like to use my laptop to do a simple school project (before I learn other things that I can to with organization!) and I was wondering if installing body on a laptop will slow everything down (start, stop, web browsing, etc.) when I do NOT use body.

    The details of the hardware of my laptop is as follows.

    OS: 10 64-bit Windows

    CPU: Intel i5 4200U @ 1.60 GHz 2.30 GHz with Intel HD Graphics 4400

    RAM: 4 GB

    Storage: 128 GB SSD (40GB free) + enough external hard drives

    Agency: Latest version

    I guess that the software may run very slowly on this configuration and I intend to build a desktop computer with the right equipment (when I have enough funds).

    Thank you in advance!

    Since you need to install the application Adobe Creative Cloud itself as a prerequisite to installing one of the CC apps, there is a time penalty small start-up like the creative cloud as a service app, loads into memory at boot time.  You can delay or even turn off that market, but doing so ultimately do you save a lot, and the effort required is disproportionate to the gain.  If you have not set pp to start automatically, just don't have sitting on you laptop doing nothing incurs no operating system resource hit when it is not in use.

    My only concern is that your laptop is the light of the resource.  You'll see certainly reduced performance when you have PP up and running, but if you're OK with that, come on.

  • SVCHOST.exe slow down my laptop

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7.  I have had it for 7 months and was a good machine.  In the last two days, it worked excrutiatingly slow to perform a simple task.  It takes 30 seconds for the MSN Internet signin window appears and which is the only application I have running.  My Norton program flashes a popup indicating svchost consumes too much memory.  Is there a systematic way of:

    1 determine what application is causing trouble

    2. how to solve the problem

    My Task Manager shows PID956 PID (92MB) 1004 (24MO) are the 2 process SVCHost.exe uses more memory.  I read several questions on this topic here in the help with some good info section, but none really seem to indicate how close the loop and close the question.

    I only am not aware of all of the windows updates were installed recently (I don't know if these run automatic or not and do not know how to check when the last update was missed) and have not recently added from all programs.  The problem just started in the last few days.

    Here, any help is appreciated.

    Svchost.exe is an application used by various applications. Usually, the problem isn't with svchost.exe but with the application that is running the service that is using svchost.exe. At any time, you can have a number any process ongoing svchost.exe to run and you have to identify who it is that is causing the problem. The process PID number is no help as it changes from one computer to another and each time that you start the computer. The constants are the command line and there are about 10 commonly used. You can't see them using the Task Manager. You need Process Explorer (freeware from Microsoft).

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    You will see what copy of svchost.exe is more active, and if you right click on the process, you will see a list of services that use this particular process. Svchost.exe - k netsvc is an example of a command line. Uses a number of services and often causing the problems of this group is wuaserv, which relates to Windows Update. Once you have identified the service that you have to identify the application using the service. In the example I gave, it's pretty obvious, but others are not so easy to determine.

    A complication is caused by malicious software which can also use svchost.exe. You should use anti-virus software for deterrmine if you have a defective or software program malware.

    It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  • Why my internet slow down to one analysis when it should be faster?

    I have 12 mb internet but im only get around 3 mb down load speed... why?

    Could be one of many things:

    1. what type of connection do you have?

    If the optical fiber, you should get the max of the link more closely, but with ADSL (supplied on a pair of copper wires), it can vary enormously according to the length of the line. For example, I tried "up to 24 M" on a pair of copper, but due to a very long line of the Exchange, I had only actually about 6 M.

    So what type of internet connection you have? And if his livery on standard cables, how long your line is?

    2. its possible, it's a malware problem, but if there are no other symptoms, unlikely. However, it doesn't take long to download, install, update (updated by right-clicking on its icon and 'run as administrator' then go to the update tab) and run a scan with Malwarebytes free to check. It don't take long and it's free.

    3. you can do a speedtest here http://www.speedtest.net/ try speedtests running throughout the day at different times (and if possible during the night) for a few days. This verifies that the D/L speed is several times. The other speed probem is the congestion on the internet or your local connection (not yours but your access provider) PSI can also 'Butterfly' test traffic and running in peak and off peak periods should show if it happens. In this case, contact your provider. that is, if during the day 9-11 and 14:00 - 17:00 say you get 3 m, but during the night between 22:30 and 04:30, you get 9 M, then its likely to be congestion.

    4. If you think that your PC is at fault, you can then ask a friend to upgrade their PC around temp connect via your boradband and run a speedtest to see what brings?

  • WiFi wasn't really that one slow down my laptop. Update driver and cannot connect to my wifi.

    Hi I have a Sony Vaio with Windows 8. Lately, I've been to around 1 to 2 Mbit/s, when I should get 5.5. My brother's laptop will get anywhere from 5 to 9 Mbps. I tried to update my driver which is a BCM43142 Wireless Network Adapter. I've updated, but when I restart my computer I can't connect to my home wifi network. It says something like "your pilot skills do not meet the requirements of the network. I back my driver and he's back at very slow speed of the internet. I don't know what the problem with my laptop please help thanks

    Edit: used windows update and updated to windows 8.1. no difference

    Hi Robben,

    I'm sorry that the installation of the update of the driver did not fix the problem. Please contact Sony support and check if they have any solution or suggestion for this problem with wireless adapter.

  • Why my PC slow down to a crawl when VMware Player is the suspension to the .vmem file?

    My PC becomes almost unusable when VMware Player prepares his State record to .vmem file. VMware Player is delegate the task to C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe process. When we look in the Manager tasks, I see that the CPU usage is just 5.10% and the memory usage is around 40%, which is normal for me. When I open resource monitor, I see that ntoskrnl.exe is written extensively to the VMware .vmem file. From writing to the disk stops, my PC immediately snaps back to normal.

    I scanned the disc for errors and the performance issues with HDTune, I tested the RAM with memtest. Everything is normal, no errors, drive performance is approximately 110 MB/s. I have antivirus (Avira free) and I don't know that there is a legitimate ntoskrnl.exe Windows process. With the exception of this problem, my PC worked rock stable for three years.

    Why write on a hard drive that is not my OS drive affects the overall performance of a PC so and what can do to solve the problem? Also I don't understand, why suspending the hard .vmem file so long?

    My virtual machine has 8 Windows as a guest operating system. It has 4 GB of RAM. After I suspend the virtual machine, my host PC is trolling for about 10-15 minutes which seems far too long a little writing 4 GB of memory to the .vmem file status. I also tried VM VirtualBox with the same guest OS and 4 GB of RAM and it suspends a lot sooner and don't drag my PC after that. Also if I move the files in Windows Explorer on the same drive, it has this issue. It seems so VMware Player or ntoskrnl.exe is something too aggressive.


    Here are the specs of my host computer:

    CPU: Intel i3 2120

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H67A-USB3-B3

    RAM: 8GB

    Hard disks:

    OS and system disk - Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port

    Data disk (which causes the slowdowns): Seagate ST31000528AS 1000 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port

    OS: Windows 7 64 bit Professional with SP1, updated regularly

    With the virtual machine off (non-suspended), try adding the following configuration option to the .vmx file:

    mainMem.writeZeroes = TRUE
