Windows 7 64 - bit, GA-970-a-DS3P, slow SATA 3 HD and USB 2.0 also issues
Let me start this way:
Material:
Motherboard: GA-970-a-DS3P
(1) WD Caviar Black HD: 3 amendments of 1 TB each. One for the OS, one for applications and one for Swap. (Don't ask how I ended up with this config: it's a long story of upgrade).
(2) graph GTX 550 Ti card.
(3) AMD Phenom x 4 965 BE: all 4 cores unlocked. DO NOT overclocked.
(4) RAM DDr3 8 GB (2 sticks)
(5) rest include 1 SATA DVD drive, Cooler Master monstrous fins CPU cooler (which cuts my fingers twice) and a power supply 650W (Cooler Master)
Software:
(1) Windows 7 64 bit ultimate (new installation)
(2) MS Office 2010
(3) Acronis True Image 2012
(4) cloud of Creative adobe: Adobe Acrobat Pro XI
The ORGANIC parameters:
a value of 1) all SATA AHCI.
(2) active xHCI. (no idea)
(3) active eHCI. (no idea)
Drivers:
1st install Gigabyte SATA AHCI and USB 3.0 drivers drivers. All keyboard & mouse drivers are from Gigabyte.
2nd configuration (after that I discovered that it was slow death): DriverMax provided SATA 3.0 AHCI drivers.
Windows start up the GUI login screen in 40 to 43 seconds after the POST. (Used to make less than 30 seconds before I installed MS Office).
Problem and diagnoses that I made:
(1) primary HD is extremely slow to respond. It takes just an inordinate amount of time to respond to the high activity of HD. (Like when I try to copy a large file on the C drive or read from drive C).
(2) I used Perfmon.exe to monitor disk queue length and % disk time Avg. Length of queue disk on drive C starts from 0.117 and amounts to 24,26 within 20 minutes once I started. % disk time is high at 118.98 or even above.
(3) surprisingly a USB 3.0 flash drive has reported a speed of 118 MB/s on a copy of a file of 3.4 GB D USB 3.0 drive
(4) USB 2.0 reported avg 28 MB per second, which was expected.
(5) after that I removed the drivers from Gigabyte SATA, I used one of Drivermax (don't know what it was). Yes, I remove the old drivers, rebooted and then installed drivers drivermax.
(6) disk queue length dropped to 0.28 on average when copying to and from the drive C and even under heavy operations.
(7) Windows experience index stays at 5.9 for HD primary.
(8) Avg speed of drive C is now about 128 to 132 MB/second (seriously?)
(9) I don't find the exclamation points or question marks in Device Manager.
(10) now, since yesterday, the speed has dropped again down (no updated driver, but the critical Windows updates made). Avg disk queue length again increased slowly to about 24.23.
(11) what I did a chkdsk c: R, but could not find any errors of surface HD.
(12) I am past controller cables and plugged in the different plugs (which cut on sharp edges of the graphics card and the fins of the cooler: why HW manufacturers can soften the edges: they will lose money?).
(13) USB 2.0 speed has dropped drastically to 7,28 MB/second copy about 1 GB of multiple files of 12 MB each.
Am at the end of my rope on this.
Can I have a very problematic motherboard? Have I not dumb drivers? Or I did something wrong here?
Any help to fix this problem of speed appreciated.
P.S. The system is also catchy and fast with start-up less than 45 seconds, even times with connected devices. Opening apps are fast and load system (also long that I do not touch the C drive) are faster.
Thanks in advance
I misinterpreted the word 'no'... :-)
Clone of the boot drive on the disk used for the page file after removing the partition on the drive of page file as in reduce to unallocated space. Your current boot drive is perhaps not the strongest of its kind.
It can be done with the help of Aomei partition Wizard, free for home use.

If the computer seems to be ok, stop the execution of the performance monitoring software. It can drive a person crazy. Glance for other stuff that can slow the system down...

Do I need a 64 bit OS? Is this a BIOS problem, or it will never recognize the 6 GB of Ram? Make the slow computer run with much openAll versions of Windows 32-bit client (not just Vista/XP/7) have a 4GBaddress space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's thetheoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.But you can not use all of the 4 GB of address space. Even if youhave a 4 GB address space, you can use * autour * 3. 1 GB of RAM.This is because some of the space is used by the hardware and is notavailable for the operating system and applications. The amount you canuse varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but canrange from as little as 2 GB to 3.5 GB. It's usually around3. 1 GB.Note that the hardware is using the address * space *, not the realThe RAM itself. If you have a larger amount of RAM, the rest of the RAMgoes unused because there is no address to map space to.You should get 64-bit Windows? It is difficult to answer, because there area lot of factors (see below). But you need exceeds the 3.5 GB ofRAM, you are able to use? It depends on what applications run you, but for the mostpeople, the answer is no.Here is my standard message on 64-bit Windows:The advantage of running a 64 bit version of Windows for the most part areonly if you are also running applications 64-bit under him. Don't forget thatThere is very little such available requests. If you arecurrently running 32-bit Windows, you don't have any 64-bitapplications, so to get a significant advantage, you not onlyhave to replace Windows, but also of your applications, * if * (and it'sa big "If") are 64-bit versions.Also note that you will need the 64-bit for all drivers your hardware.These drivers may not be available, especially if some of yourthe material is a few years old. So it is possible that you might alsoto replace things like your printer, scanner, etc.So the answer to your question, it's that it would not be a good ideaRight away. This will no doubt change in the near future, as 64-bitapplications are becoming more available, but for now, Windows 64 - bit oftenYou hear some additional trouble and benefits costs little or not.On the other hand, install Windows 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windowsallows you to purchase 64-bit software available, insteadolder versions of 32-bit. This means that the 64-bit installationWindows - even though it may not do much for you at the present time - putsyou in a better position for the future.One extra point: the 64-bit version allows you to use more than theabout 3.1 GB of RAM can be used by the 32-bit version. Very littlepeople must or may make effective use more than 3. 1 GB, but if youare one of those that can, it's something else to consider.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows desktop experience) since 2003Ken Blake

Strange Lag issues on Windows vista 32-bit as well as game slow load time
OK, this is really starting to annoy me, and I would be very grateful if anyone can solve this problem for me. Well since I had my HP Pavilion Vista 32-Bit seems "randomly Lag" occasionally. For example, I'd be right on the web, and then all the computer slows down as the office. Windows and the programs seem to start to take longer to open. I reccently got a video card Nvidia GTS 250 for the game but still lags. But the strangest thing is that this problem occurs randomly. The problem seems to stop and then "randomly comes back" to happen to my PC. So far, my solution is to leave the computer alone or just leave it turned off. But the other day I left 3 days straight and did not help a bit. It was a month ago, but it was very strange. Now, he seems to be doing more often. (I do not add or download new programs recently)
It really bothers me, and I stopped buying games for my cause of PC that I rarely have the opportunity to play their cause of this problem. I know I did not describe my great problem but can someone help me please?Dis_Ze_Legend,
Since this doesn't seem to be a specific game question here are things that you can try.System File Checker

I can't really afford to upgrade to windows 7 now, or buy a new computer (it is 6 years old), so what do I expect?
Support for Windows XP is already completed. To (security only patches) extended support until June of 2014, when it is entirely not taken in charge. With regard to "programs" I don't know what you're asking - we don't know, and there is no context to make a good estimate. If you have Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8 is installed, you also update you're going to get (except of course to keep installation monthly security updates from Microsoft).

I have photosmart all-in-one c310 printer and whenever we have a power outage, the printer will not print at startup power upward. I have spend hours trying to download drivers or updates and check the printer that says it's fine and the computer that says it can't find the driver. The last 2 times I finally got running again, but I did something different every time and I don't remember what it was. I just spent 2 hours on a hamster wheel keeps back me for a download, after you download it twice, I finally understood was the SAME download (the 3rd time I was directed here) and the printer STILL does not work. I'm pulling my hair out and I'm about to throw this worthless piece of scrap metal by the window. Help!
Are you connected wireless? If so, you will need to reconnect the printer to the network of the SCW wireless on the printer itself. When you have power, he can hit just the printer off of the network from the router and just reconnect.

But I checked the website of Toshiba and Windows Vista 64-bit, you can get all the drivers. Normally, most Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7.

You need the graphics driver, and it will also install the graphics card intel too.
This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

I did a new install of Windows 7 (32 bit) on my desktop HP Pavilion Media Center a1640n and need to find the device driver for the ethernet controller. Device Manager, it is generically known as "ethernet controller" - there is no precision manufacturer so I can't go to the site to find. Device Manager, it seems that the network connection works correctly (Intel 82562v 10/100). I guess that's probably an Intel processor, but which? Any instructions or advice find download ethernet controller device driver would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello:
It's a card ethernet (antique) to heritage for which there is no W7 drivers.
My advice would be to remove it and install a compatible ethernet card from windows 7 in its place.
Allows you to update and get a 10/100/1000 NIC
Sn54ls164j AN983 10/100 PCI card is not better than the integrated Intel NETWORK interface in your PC.
Or use the Intel ethernet port if it works.
