Lenovo U/S Series :: S400u Extremely Slow Booting

Jan 13, 2015

I just did a OneKeyRecovery to reset the notebook (original Win8); after that I did an upgrade to Win8.1; now the notebook boots (reboot/shutdown) very slow, booting takes >5 min; when it's up it's quite ok.

Assume an issue with the SSD cache, SSD is not visible (device manager etc,), reinstalled smartcache, smartcache doesn't find an SSD....

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Z510 Slow Windows 8.1 Booting

Jul 12, 2014

I bought lenovo z510 recently and liked its performance. But from last few days am facing issue when windows 8.1 boots .ie., when i power on my laptop i see "lenovo log" for more than 15 minutes and sometimes windows doesnt start at all. I have to restart few times manually with power button to see the windows screen.
 
Initially i thought it is due to windows update, but even after I turned off update, am facing same issue. My laptop is hardly a month old and it is very frustrating to see this happening .

HP/Compaq :: Hp L2000 Going Extremely Slow

Apr 8, 2010

I have an hp l2005co (lance armstrong edition) that has started to go extremely slow. I tried formatting and even downgrading to xp. The xp installation took 6 yes 6 hours. I ram memtest86 and it found zero errors. I also replaced the hd with a new one and I got the same thing. I got an application that tells me the temperatures and idle they would hover at around 60 degrees celsius. I took the computer apart and took the terrible little cushion off the heatsink and applied some thermal grease and now it idles at around 48 degrees celsius. Even after I did that, it's still running excruciatingly slow. Startup times increased drastically though.

Dell :: ! XPS M1330 Extremely Slow On Startup

Mar 17, 2010

So lately (the last few days, just out of nowhere) I've been starting to have a problem with an XPS m1330. Every now and again the notebook starts Windows

A lot of the times it doesn't go past the welcome screen (after entering the user password etc.)

If it does get past the welcome screen it just is extremely slow for the first 5-7min then, it's normal again .....

Dell :: Latitude D620 Extremely Slow When Charging

Dec 9, 2009

When I unplug the charger, the laptop returns to normal speed. Does anyone know the reason why this is occurring and if it can be fixed?

Also, I don't think the laptop is actually charging

In the task manager I see the CPU usage at around 20% when its not plugged in, and the moment I plug it in, it goes to 100%, then I unplug it and it instantly goes back to 20%.

Acer :: Aspire 5100 Running Extremely Slow

Nov 2, 2008

I'm guessing I did this to myself somehow but I can't figure out how to fix it. It originally came with Visa but I downgraded to XP and had been using it without problems for awhile. It started getting a little slow so I recently installed (and soon after uninstalled) a bunch of optimizing / driver updating programs. After playing around with those, my laptop is running super slow... I can't watch videos, the buffer causes it to just show the image while the audio plays... After running Dr. Hardware it looks like my CPU is only running at 800mhz which is a lot slower than it used to.

HP/Compaq :: Dv5t Running Extremely Slow After Disassembly

Mar 2, 2010

i just disassembled my dv5t to fix an issue i was having with the screen. the screen seems to work fine now however it is running ungodly slow.

in order to get to my screen cables i had to take out the Following:

-hard drive
-WLAN module
-Switch cover & keyboard
-the display bezel

i'm not exactly sure what might be causing this because it was working just fine (except for my screen issue) before the disassembly

also it seems to run a little bit better in safe mode but its still slow

after playing with it for a while its main problem is booting and programs are crashing. it takes about 10 minutes to fully boot and then it runs at a normal speed however programs keep crashing like crazy.

HP 2000-208CA Networking :: Notebook Is Extremely Slow

Oct 24, 2014

Have an HP 2000-208CA Notebook that came with 64 bit, WIN7.  This notebook is extremely slow.  The processor and memory I believe is the biggest issue with this notebook.  Have installed WIN7, 32 bit.  Now can't find the correct wifi drivers for this notebook.  Have downloaded all wifi drivers that were listed for WIN7, 32bit for an HP 2000-208CA notebook, but none of them work.  Any alternative wifi drivers?

Dell XPS 17 L702x :: Battery Charging Extremely Slow

Feb 15, 2013

Today my battery charging stopped working properly.

It does charge (or seems so) but it takes about 5 hours for each 1% percent.

The battery is the 9 cells one and the charger is 150 w.

The battery wage is at about 50% but it was charging as fast as always until today.

Things I have already tried:

- Charger is recognized by the BIOS as a 150 w charger.

- The laptop works without the battery (with the charger plugged in, obviously).

- Reflashed BIOS (version is A19).

- Recalibration of the battery.

All the warranty periods are over (both laptop and battery). Is it possible that I need a new charger even though the laptop is working without battery? Could I need a new battery?

HP Envy TS 15-J102sa Networking :: Notebook Extremely Slow At Times

May 23, 2014

I've had my HP envy Touchsmart 15-J102sa for about 3 months now and ever since I've had it, it runs really slow at time. It's occurs more often when I'm on the internet browsing or watching a video on youtube. When It starts running slow, it say the page is not responding for about 3 mins then it displays the page and start working at normal speed again. I really need any sort of solutions that might fix it, I know for a fact that it's not a virus because I scan pc everytime I turn it on.

HP Pavilion 17 F035ND OS/Software :: Bluetooth Won't Connect Properly And WLAN Is Extremely Slow

Nov 28, 2014

I recently bought this laptop (HP Pavillion 17 F035ND) with win8 pre installed.Because of the limits of my school's software I can not use win8.So naturally, I downgraded to win7, and installed everything I needed.But I have problems with 2 drivers, Bluetooth driver and the WLAN driver.Bluetooth won't connect properly, and the WLAN is extremely slow.My driver software says that I need Broadcom drivers for both of them, but the HP downloads only provide Intel or Realtek.
 
Is the hardware really Broadcom? I know my way around computers and I searched the entire web.The bluetooth doesn't bother me that much, but I really need the WLAN drivers..link me to the correct drivers for my laptop with win7?

Lenovo V570 C/E/K/M/N/V Series :: Not Booting Up / Turning On?

Oct 16, 2012

So like many V570 owners I encountered the same problem where the laptop does not turn on anymore. I'm not on warranty anymore so I couldn't send it in to Lenovo either. Based on what I read, this issue appears when the laptop goes to sleep (closing down the lid when the laptop is on, or letting the laptop sleep when you're not using it for a while).

So I was thinking, "Hmm it doesn't make sense to replace the motherboard just because the hard drive is on sleep". Why not just pull out the hard drive and memory cards and put it back in? So I unscrewed the smaller cover on the back of the laptop and unscrewed the hard drive (one screw), pulled out the hard drive (slide it backwards and pull out) and also pulled out the two memory cards (that are on the right side).
 
Then I simply put the hard drive back in and the memory cards back in place. Screwed the cover back on there and it TURNED ON!

First thing I did after that was go into the Power Options in Windows 7 (just search "Power Options" from the start menu) and went to "Choose what closing the lid does" and changed all the selections that said "Sleep" or "Hibernate" to either "Shutdown or Do Nothing".

NOTE: The down side is that you probably can't Sleep or Hibernate your laptop anymore. I'm trying to see if there's a BIOS update for this but the Lenovo Support website is not loading at the moment.
 
The UPSIDE is your laptop WORKS and you're not gonna be spending $$$ for an unecessary "motherboard' that they say they'll replace.

Lenovo U/S Series :: U310 - Booting From USB Is Not Working

Dec 29, 2012

I recently got a U310 ideapad, and I am trying to run a Linux LiveCD that I put on my USB drive using uinetbootin. On the idea pad I made the settings for the BIOS have the boot order with USB FDD and USB Drives on the top. Even with fitting fn+F12 I am still not getting any success with the boot from USB.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Booting From USB DVD On X121e

Jul 10, 2014

How to boot from a Lenovo recovery disk for Windows 7 on a USB driven DVD drive? The laptop is currently running Linux so can't run from within the operating system. The BIOS utility doesn't recognise the drive no matter what I select in the boot menu (USB CD, USB FDD or USB HDD) and the F12 boot utility also doesn't recognise the drive. Incidently, F12 does recognise the Linux USB drive so I know this works. The external drive is a Leicke DVD R/RW DVD.
 
The reason for wanting to boot from the Windows 7 recivery drive is to reinstall Win 7 on a new install, dual boot Linux (Mint), then install iTunes on WIn 7so I can sync my iPhone, and run everything else under Linux. I've tried using a Win emulator under Linux but unsuccessfully.

My fan is not working properly, in fact it only runs for few seconds at booting and then never again.

Lenovo Z510 P/Y/Z Series :: How To Enable Booting From CD / DVD And USB Drives

Sep 16, 2012

I have a brand new z510 notebook, and I need to do a clean install of windows 8.1.  Problem is that I can't seem to boot from CD or USB.  I have entered the bios, and although the DVD rom drive works, and it shown correctly in BIOS, it does NOT allow me to add it to the boot list.  Also, there is an option called 'Boot From USB'  I enable that, and still the USB boot does not show up in the boot list.  The only thing I have in the boot list is the 'Windows Boot Manager' and it lists the name of my drive.  
 
I thought that maybe secure boot was the issue, but I tried disabling this, and is still doesn't let me do what I want. I just paid $800 for a top of the line laptop, and I can't even boot from a cdrom.  Every computer I have had since the 1980s have allowed me to do just that without trouble.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Z50-75 - Can't Install Windows 8 - Not Booting From DVD

Dec 24, 2014

I've bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-75 ( with Free DOS ):
 
Bios Version: A4CN24WW (V 1.03)
 
I am trying to install Windows 8 but it just doesnt work. not matter if i allow secure boot or disable it. no matter if i choose from the "OS Optimized Defaults : [Win8 64bit]"
 
I changed the boot priority so that the DVD-Reader is on the highest place (1). Got a working Win8 DVD, also got win7 professional, but i'd rather install Windows 8.
 
Even though Win7 is okay too if it'll work then.
 
I don't know what to do other than switching around between all those options. and it doesn't work at all.
 
Whenever i start the laptop and choose to start with the DVD-Reader it lights up and nothing happens.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: Booting From USB 3.0 Thumb Drives (X1C Old Version)

Jan 28, 2008

I've been following instruction on this link to create bootable windows installation usb thumb drives [URL] .... And it's been working fine with usb 2.0 thumb drives on the X1C (old ver). However, for some reason it won't work with usb 3.0 thumb drives.

I've tried several, but everytime I select the thumb drive on boot selection, the screen blinks and goes back to boot selection. I'm assuming it's not reading my boot information.  It works fine on usb 2.0 thumb drives.

Lenovo B / G Series :: G580 Suddenly Stopped Booting Into Windows

Nov 5, 2012

My G580 suddenly stopped booting into Windows.

The first black screen with the Microsoft logo loads but afterwards I just get stuck in a black screen with the cursor which I can move around but nothing more.

So, my solution was to get into Safe Mode. Unfortunately although I don't have a password when Win7 boot, I'm asked for one in Safe Mode. The thing is neither the keyboard, nor the touchpad work so I cannot get past the login screen.

The keyboard works perfectly in BIOS, but not in the Windows login screen for Safe Mode.

Lenovo C/E/K/M/N/V Series :: N200 Booting Hangs At Mouse Initialized

May 26, 2009

I have a problem with my notebook Lenovo N200 (0769). It has appear out of a sudden.
 
It was working fine a few days ago but at one point it stopped booting.
 
The bios correctly recognizes  (apparently) all the the major components... but it hangs at one point after the message:
"Mouse initialized"
 
The weird part is that it would not even boot from CD. It just hangs...
 
I tried removing the HDD and booting from a CD and everything went ok. I mean that the system would boot from the CD. So my suspicion is that the HDD is broken.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Very Slow Browsing Z710

Acer :: Aspire 5536 Slow Booting

Nov 16, 2009

I have a brand new Acer Aspire 5536 Notebook. It came pre-shipped with Vista which I did not want.

So I tried a fresh install of Win7 - formatted drive etc,. Machine takes 5+ mins to boot so I put this down to a compatibility issue and tried XP. However I have the same problem, fresh install with only updates installed and it takes forever to boot (even longer than Win7).

Once booted performance is ok (in Win7 it was near perfect). Any ideas, I am beginning to think it is defective.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y530 Upgraded To 8gb Ram - Slow Response And CPU Is At 100%

Aug 4, 2011

I just upgraded my Y530 from 2GB*2 to 4GB*2 PC3 10666. BIOS recognizes the rams. From vista 64 startup it is extremely slow. I was able to log on, after half an hour and CPU is at 100% all the time and the computer fails to respond to mouse clicks or keyboard. An hour after this I was desperate trying to turn it off and pressed hand held the power key. Now it's corrupted my user profile. I know how to fix that but everything runs in slow motion 1:100 and I can't do anything. I tried to log on with admin and the video driver keeps crashing that I was almost not clicking fast enough to close those error dialogs and yes it's just as slow otherwise. Safe mode works fine. Win vista 64 reports 8gb in safe mode. I searched for a while and found that I might need new bios so where do I get it? All lenovo has are drivers. There was one request a while back for bios but there's no update on it.
 
My bios version is 10CN41WW (223)...
