View 8 RepliesWith the beta & RC I was getting transfer speeds burning avi, h.264 etc up to 10mbps. Thinking I had a bad spindle of discs I was just now trying my second back up of some films and what not. Same difference.
I am getting 668 kps max. A transfer of 3.0 GB takes about 4 hours!
It will work fine for awhile then all of the sudden it will freeze.
I Googled this, and people said tick Enable Hardware Acceleration to off.
I did so but now the video is slow pretty much all the time. What is causing this? I upgraded my video drivers in the hopes of it solving this problem, but it did not
I have a v3 571G laptop core i7 with a geforce 640m video card. Is not the faster video card but can handle advance video games in medium to high. Every time I play any video games, with settings from medium to high, at the beginning the fps are around 34 to 40 but after 10 to 20 min of playing, the fps gets down to 12 to 20 specially when there is explosions and such. Is my laptop video card dying or is something else?

If i have more than one window open its not even worth using. So I always run back to XP and I'll be honest in saying that I'm quite bored with it.
how to make it run better with Aero?
My Laptop's Specs Are
Brand: Acer Extensa 4220
CPU: Intel Celeron CPU 560 - 2.13GHz
RAM: 1GB DDR2
Graphics: Moblie Intel GMA X3100
I've noticed when playing vidoes, the video frames update at a slower pace to the point where it feels that movie is being played in slow motion. Sometimes this conditions stays longer other for few minutes. It does not make any differene if I am streaming or playing a movie stored on the HD (machine doesn't have CD drive).
Â
I've ensure there are no other apps running that might seep power away from main processor/RAM or video processor. All the drivers are latest & greatest and I don't see any warnings anywhere in the system manager.
Â
It has Win 8 and Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 1.6G of video RAM which seems decent enough to play a video file smoothly.Â
My laptop is now very slow and crashes every now and then. So I need to reinstall the Vista Operating System  bu the big problem is that the CD/DVD drive is no longer working.

Over the past few weeks, I've been having an unusual problem. Whenever I plug the AC adapter to my laptop, the whole laptop performance - from the second I switch it on - is very slow. The moment I pull the AC adapter from the laptop, it instantly operates at a normal and fast speed again!
I figured that it must have been a problem with the AC adapter (it's had its fair share of use - being swung around and dragged to lectures...). So I ordered another one off Ebay. Today, I got the new adapter and when I plugged it in, the laptop only went on AC power. It worked fine - fast as normal. However, it was not charging - just on AC power. I am starting to question if the adapter was really as "genuine" like it was advertised on eBay. But anyway... after about 4 hours with the new adapter on AC power, it stopped recognizing the battery altogether and alerted me with a Critical Battery sign. Of course, a few minutes later, it went dead on me - the laptop switched off. It was as if I removed the AC adapter myself, only I hadn't. Now, I am trying to plug it in again (the new one), to see if it will be able to power up again and it just won't respond at all.
On the other hand, when I put the old AC adapter, the laptop switches on but doesn't charge. Again, it is extremely slow with the adapter on, and fast when I pull the wire out. Only for a minute or so until it dies on me again...
I have dell inspiron 15R, 1TB HDD, i7 processor, windows 8.1. My C drive has 500GB(approx) memory out of which 200GB(approx) is free
It used to work fast but suddenly it became very slow. I tried restarting , it got shut down but was unable to start. So I ran diagnostic test which gave an error in hard disk with error code :2000-0142. Â The next morning I ran the diagnostic test again and it ran successfully without any error.
I formatted it from my recovery disk and it took me almost whole night as the formatting process was also very slow. My laptop still works very slow. It takes almost 15mins for start-up and my applications are also opening too slow.
i have a compaq presario CQ42 . today i has disassembling my laptop and applying thermal paste on cpu and gpu . so , the problem is when i play games about 5min or 10min my laptop suddenly go on sleep and shutdown itself then i try to restart it and after that i get this message"The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating .The system is now operating normally and your data should remain intact. Overheating may occur if the cooling vents are blocked or the operating temperature exceed the specification. The notebook PC should return to normal operation once the situation is resolved.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHave used my HP 2000 laptop many times to connect to a big screen TV using the VGA output jack and hook it to the VGA input of my big screen. Â Now, for some reason, there is no video output to the big screen, I have tried 3 different cords (VGA to VGA) and get nothing on two, and on the third I get a video transfer but it blinks off and on both on the monitor of the laptop and my big screen with only about 1/2 of a picture showing on both. Â When it did this, I tried repositioning the output jack on the computer output and it changed the picture somewhat, but could never get it to work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a G72 with the Radeon 5470 gpu. Â 2 days ago my wife received a bluescreen on Windows 7x64 stating that the video driver had stopped working. Â From that point on the G72 would not make it to the desktop without the screen going dead. Â The machine boots to safemode fine. Â I tried as much as I could think of to resolve this issue but eventually backed off her data and restored to factory. Â The problem persisted and I ended up disabling the ATI card in the control panel. Â The machine seemed to be working after that.
I begin the long process of brining the OS up to current. Â About 2 sets of updates after Win 7 SP1 the problem came back. Â I booted to safe mode and checked the driver and discovered that it had been re-enabled. Â I have tried disabling it again and rebooting. Â Sometimes it stays disabled thru reboot but sometimes it does not. Â At this point the machine will go to a dark screen (not just black video but dead) after I sign on. Â This was happening without regard to the enable or disable status on the ATI card.
Â
So... Â I attempted to do another rehang of the OS and got about half way thru. Â Windows setup now tries to reboot and after the machine comes up, the screen goes dead. Is there a way to disable the card in bios? Â Can the card be physically removed?

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I wanted to buy a dell with a ssd drive my friend warned me and said that the old ssd's actually become slower than normal hard drives once they've been fully written.
So, my question is: does dell give the old ssd's or the new ones? They do seem rather cheap...
why is my brand new xps 16 slow as hell ? It is slower than my four year old pentium desktop.
i scanned and there are no viruses, spyware, etc.
-opening programs take forever
-i cant listen to music while browsing the internet or the songs will skip every 2 seconds
-web videos skip and are basically unwatchable
-as i am typing this, no letters are coming up...i have to wait about a minute for the text to load to see if i misspelled anything.

-startup programs have been cut down to just the basics
I have an XPS M1710, 2GHz and 2Gb RAM, XP SP3 (although was SP2 when this happened).
About 4 months ago, my WI-FI internet connection became very slow - I mean slower than dial-up, on 10Mb/sec broadband connections. It takes 30 secs to bring back a Google search for goodness sake! It had been working fine for 18 months, and it just suddenly ground to a virtual halt, and has been such ever since.
I've tried it in several different offices and homes where it was previously fine, and it's the same everywhere. The LAN connection still works fine..
I've got an e6400 and the internet is PAINFULLY slow. This started a little while ago on any WiFi network I use. I changed the drivers and recently upgraded to 7 so I have no clue what it is. Downloading a driver from Dell was downloading at 3.7 kb/sec. It is insane. A computer right next to me is fine.

Does anyone else notice windows 7 64 bit being really slow?
I can't even listen to music and go on the internet at the same time or my 1640 will slow down so much that i have to reboot. The CPU is at 100% nearly all the time no matter what.
I think I got a bad one of the bunch. I already had to replace the power cord and the hdd.
The E6500 I'm using has the P9500 (2.53 ghz, 6mb cache), Nvidia 160M, 2gb RAM, and 80gb 7200RPM HD. When I try to play a 1080P trailer from Apple's site, the thing doesn't seem like it can handle it. It's not smooth at all. I let it DL all the way too, so it's not a buffering issue or anything.
I was planning to use this on a 1920x1200 display, but if it can't even play the 1080p trailer properly...
I have a Dual core 1.2Ghz, 3GB ram (Crucial) Dell Latitude XT with a 32gb SSD, I've been having problems with it since January,
it stalls, you can't even switch between tabs in Internet Explorer 7 or Mozilla, Scrolling was very slow and glitchy. I stopped using it because
I was tired of Dell's useless CS i.e spending an hour on chat without any useful info, they replaced the HDD with a refurbished sandisk 5000 that was slightly better than the original but still too slow to use.
A couple of month ago, I asked them to send a regular hdd so I can see the difference, they sent me a refurbished 80GB that worked a lot better than the other two but started clicking a week or two afterward.
Updated to windows 7 on my FW and it's definitely slower at booting up than vista. Vista was probably under 50 seconds and
it was fully usable after these 50 seconds. Now, in windows 7 it takes over 2 minutes for it to be fully usable.
Last week I bought a small Aspire One 1.6 Ghtz Wind. XP with 1 gig ram and it is the slowest laptop I have ever owned.
I boot up and get on line, and then I have a 30 - 40 sec wait every single time I try to change screens.
The problem is not booting up, or even getting on line, but it takes too long to get from screen to screen once I am on line.
Before I throw this away, as I can not return it, please, what do I do with this $300 doorstop?
I just got a new VGN-NW230 and the wireless seems very slow and has had problems connecting at times. The laptop has an Atheros AR9285 (it's N and the specs say it's 150 Mbps capable) and my router is a Netgear WNDR3700. I've updated the drivers on the Atheros and the router firmware is up-to-date.
The card only reports connecting at 65 Mbps. I have another laptop with an Intel 5100 card and it connects anywhere between 150-300 Mbps. For a "real world" test, I compared the speeds on speedtest.net. The Atheros (Sony) is getting at most 1.5 Mbps down, while the laptop with the Intel 5100 gets 17 Mbps down
When I try to rip a CD, I'm getting some very slow rip speeds. Here's what I'm using:

i did a test in HDtune and i found something strange :
ide mode : burst speed - 120mb/s
cpu usage : 6,7 %
AHCI mode : burst speed - 68mb/s
cpu usage : 21% ( no mistake )
is this normal ? Hard disk is WD scorpio black 320gb
in HDtune i see that my hdd is set to ide - 100mb/s instead of sata
also when i connect a usb device ( after 3 connects especially) i get a BSOD and the error 0x0000008E .
I never got this error before and it all started 1 month ago, out of the blue.
Well, this morning working in the TZ wasn't at all the same..even the most simple task like opening the control panel it makes for ever...Is very strange, just from today! It doesn't even open some things as disk defragmenter, is incredibly slow, what can I do?
I checked the task manager, the processes are 64 but the strange is that the CPU Usage is stuck to 100%..
I love the Vaio P, but on every page I read that the Vaio P is slow. But what does everbody mean by slow and compared to what?

So my question is; will the vaio P run slower than my compaq model? And in what? opening programms, etc.?
I own the VPCCW27FX from Best Buy. Last night, after burning a DVD, I experienced the blue screen of death. I noticed that my DVD writer only burns at 2.4x speed. I called Sony Customer Support and they could not provide me the with the optical speed of my drive and could not help me increase my burning speed. To the other people who own this computer or a similar model, what is your drive speed? Is there something wrong with my computer? It takes me 23 minutes to burn a DVD, a lot slower than my old Toshiba laptop.
