Why the hard drive does not priority over everything else.

I have a problem that probably relates to Firefox 6, but has happened at another time.

Without apparent reason, disk hard activity becomes suddenly constant, and the computer stops responding.  I have Process Explorer running that shows the use of the CPU by about 10 percent, but the drive can thrash away for 10 seconds, minutes.  It is not yet sensitive enough to close a program or to bring up the Task Manager.  The last time it happened again several minutes slow finished clock.  So I have to hold the power button until it turns off.

So my question is, any specific problems I have, why Windows is programmed so that the hard disk (celebrates the slower component in a computer) takes precedence over things in RAM?

If it is associated with Firefox, you can try to start firefox in "safe" mode
Start-> Run-> firefox-safe-mode
Which starts Firefox with all the modules and Extensions disabled.  It could be that one of your modules or extensions are not compatible with the new version of Firefox.  After startup, you can turn some addons and extensions via the Tools menu Addons->.

After thinking about this topic, I agree with your assessment of virtual memory.  It could slow things down, but not at the point of the clock, waste of time.

Your comments/output of the chkdsk operation is recorded in the application log.
Start-> Run-> "eventvwr.msc".
Then click on 'Request' in the left column.  CHKDSK results will be scored with the 'Winlogon' source and tested as 1001.  Only the first bytes of the report are saved.

You don't have the command line option to start with a higher priority process Explorer via the "/ p" switch (see the help screen).  I'm not sure if a query of e/s of a higher priority task will get in front of the existing entries in the I/O queue.

HTH & good luck,

  • I built a new system. Transferred to the hard drive and video card, but everything else is new. Restart Windows as it begins to start. I can get into safe mode and found event id 7026 and event id 7001 in the event viewer.

    As mentioned above, this is a new system, but with a more older IDE hard drive with windows xp pack 2 service (I think). When you first start, it says that windows is not stopped correctly and asks me to choose whether to start it normally or without failure or last known working configuration. When I choose to start windows normally, it will load up to a point. The screen of Windows Xp will come with the slide bar. It will then restart. When I choose to start in safe mode, a bunch of 32 file system scrolls upwards on the screen. I don't remember if it of normal or not. He takes over in SafeMode but. I went to the event viewer and got the following errors.

    I did find something online that contains all the system boot or start specific drivers. Windows and harddrive was working in another computer just before he was switched. Let me know if you need other information.

    Thank you.

    First of all you are missing probably a number of device drivers, particularly the network card driver and the driver of the motherboard.  Use your XP disk to perform a repair installation.  This should go a long way toward you're going to get.  If your new box has a driver disc that should help a lot.  You can't port XP perfectly the way you did.   It usually requires a repair installation to fix the hardware abstraction layer.

  • Toshiba Canvio Basics HARD drive does not appear in my computer

    Hello

    I have a HDTB110AK3BA - Toshiba 1 TB Canvio Plus Portable Hard Drive for storage 3.0 Basics and the computer will allow it to connect, but it does not appear in my computer / pc is in Device Manager thought but not my pc

    Please help and Windows 7 or windows 8.1 PC do the same thing.

    Hello

    I found the description of the product of this external HARD disk:

    Product features:
    • USB 3.0 - powered portable add-on storage.
    • Voltage of bus capable USB, no need for AC adapter.
    • Easy to use with no software to install.
    • Adapts to large digital files with spacious storage capacity.
    • Protect your drive (internal shock sensor and ramp loading technology).

    Specifications
    • Capacity: 1.0 TB
    • Interface: USB 3.0
    • Transfer rate: up to 5 Gb/s
    • Speed: 5 400 rpm
    • Average access time: 12ms
    • Cache buffer: 8 MB

    It is a HARD USB 3.0 drive. No doubt the HARD drive is not recognized correctly in windows exploerer due to the low power.
    The USB 2.0 port common feeds only 500mA. The USB 3.0 device must be able to 900mA.
    Therefore, it would be advisable to connect this 2 ports USB 2.0 HARD drive with a USB Y cable

  • Problem with installing Windows on a hard drive, HARD drive does not get detected after installation

    Original title: help with hard drive of the computer.

    Flow of the problem:

    My aunt tried to install windows 7 on the previous copy of windows 8. Needless to say that it doesn't work and it has messed up the hard drive. So, I bought a vacuum. I formatted the hard drive using my other windows computer to have 2 partitions: a boot partition and system partition, and then used the program WinToUSB to install windows on the hard disk. The reason I did it is, because no matter how many times I changed the BIOS in my laptop of aunts, it wouldn't boot from the DVD player to load the windows software. After a few hours, I found WinToUSB. Once windows has been installed, I plugged it into the laptop. For a few hours, I didn't know what to do, because the computer does not recognize the hard drive (he said: "Not detected"). I decided to start from legacy, and then the screen deals

    «intell...» »

    and a bunch of dates, etc all the stuff on the screen to load legacy if you know what I mean.

    He said "not plugged in the media. Check the power cord.

    Then quickly changed screen before I can read almost anything and it goes to the normal windows screen black (with 4 colors). I said to myself, how can he be loading if the hard drive is not detected... Once it is loaded, he brought me to the blue screen (blue screen of death, if you want) I turned the computer on again, always noticing the hard drive was not detected. I ran all the recovery/repair options I could and turned off the laptop. I came back a few hours ago and I loaded the computer again and went into the BIOS.  He said that the hard drive has been detected and said the news about this, as usual. However, at the start of the legacy of windows loading screen, it said still not detected.  I then started to windows to see since it is now detected if that fixes the blue screen. Yet, there is no. I tried to go to the normal windows and screen remains blue. any ideas?

    Hello Chris,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, it seems that Windows was not properly installed on the hard drive. I'm not sure how to work the software from third-party manufacturers WinToUSB and reliable installation process is. Microsoft does not recommend using any third party tool to install Windows on your computer, the use of these third-party tools can cause serious damage to your computer.

    I would say to format the hard drive once more and try to install Windows through normal Windows installation process.

    Refer to the section "using the installation option custom if no operating system is installed" in the thread below.

    Installing and reinstalling Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7

    If you are not able to install Windows on the hard drive at all, I suggest you to contact the hard drive manufacturer to obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the hard drive.

    Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.
