I have a HP Pavilion p6710f with an AMD Athlon Quad-Core processor takes 10 to 12 minutes to boot

I have a refurbished HP Pavilion p6710f desktop, with an AMD Quad-Core processor.  About 4 weeks aog I reformated the HD and reinstalled Windows 7 Prof and the rest o my software and it ran fine for about 2 weeks then it started taking 5 to 10 minutes to boot up in morning or to restart.  I had downloaded a couple of things and I uninstalled them and it did better, but gradually over the last week it has started taking 10 to 15 minutes to boot up or restart.  With either it takes a few seconds to get the HP stuff in the middle of the monitor, then in a few seconds it loads the choices (Function keys for setup, recover, etc.) then it takes 4 to five minutes to show "windows loading" the 3 to 4 minutes to show the 4-colored windows logo and then up to 5 minutes to load my icons and be ready to run--once all this is done everything runs fine until I need to restart, and then it is 10 to 15 minutes again to get up and running.
When I redid everything about 4 weeks ago I made an image on an external 1 Tb HD that is always connected thru a UBB Port and this morning I recovered and It reinstalled it, but it did not help.
Don't think it is the BIOS battery as it doesn't lose time.
Hope someone can help me

Seems to me that your hard drive is gonna fail soon, trying running hard drive diagnostics from the BIOS.

  • TS1362 I am running windows xp with all the updates. I have an HP Pavilion with an AMD athlon xp-m processor.  I have the most RAM I can install on this PC (1 gig). I also have plenty of disc space(over 60 gig). Why can't I play my .MOV files correctly.

    I cannot get the .mov files I recorded on my I-phone 4 to play correctly( i.e. no audio, video jerky at best), on my HP Pavilion laptop with an AMD athlon xp-m, OS=XP, 1 gig ram, plenty of hard drive space >50 gig. Just not enough RAM or am I missing something? I have updated all I can(Quicktime, I-tunes etal). Any ideas?

    My first thought when reading your post ( video jerky) is that the CPU doesn't have enough horse power? What is the GHz of the AMD athlon? 1.8 GHz would be right on the edge with video. And where the computer will max out at 1 Ghz of RAM indicates the laptop is older and the CPU probably as well. 1 GHz of RAM maybe low on today's computers but would not be an issue if the CPU was perhaps 2.8 GHz. The audio is less demanding by far on CPU's than video, so that could be a codec?

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin.  However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor.  It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors.  Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

    I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor.  It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors.  Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

    Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
    Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
    However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays.

  • I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

    I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

    iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5.  Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Oracle Licensing for a server with Quad Core Processor

    I know Oracle Standard Edition ONE is only licensed to install on a server with a max of 2 processors.
    1) Now when it comes to the type of processor does it matter what type of processors they are ?
    2) Can we have 2 Quad Core Processors on the server and install the Standard Edition One ( and comply to Oracle Licensing) ?

Therefore you MUST get the final answer from someone with authority to speak on behalf of Oracle - and that is a Sales Rep.
    However, in the mean time, you can read http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/sig-070616.pdf .
    SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT PAGE 15. Many people (including some in this thread) are totaly wrong about how Standard Edition is licensed.

  • HP Compaq p6874 with Windows 7 AMD Athlon IIx2 220 Processor

    I have HP Compaq p6874 with Windows 7.  It has an ATI RAdeon HD 4200 video card.  Will the XFX R5 230 Radeon graphics card work in my CPU and fix my gaming issues?  Also, what PSU will I need to run that graphics card?  Games that I have jerk and the sound stutters.  These games are recommended for Windows 7.  I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

    Gamester417, thanks for the additional information.
    I do beleive that the card should fit into the case.  However, I can't guarantee that it will solve all of your gaming problems.
    The card requires a PSU with 450W to operate properly.  The PSU in the computer is only 250W.  So, the recommendations that I provided in my original would be good.

  • KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton Bios setup question

    Hi Guys
    I have just recently bought a KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton. Having browsed over to the cpu support after not being able to get my machine to register a 2600+ from the bios i looked up the support to see that is doesn't support that processor in the list can someone tell me if it does and how i need to setup my bios to register is a 2600+ or near,  as i can only get about 1.5 ghz out of it at the moment. I adjusted the fsb to 140 and the system hangs on powerup and i get nothing but it gives a memory error from the d-panle. Any ideas? should i just be running the fsb at 133 or 166?
    Setup includes motherboard + processor listed
    512 crucial ddr 333 pc 2700

    Never really worked with AMD before first time, not really understanding if i have made simple mistakes.

    Right bit of an update
    I have the machine ticking over quite nicely @ FSB 133. This i can increase to about 155 and then it dies. So again i have tried to run it at 166 and i get the blank screen the the d-plate registers a Memory Detection Test and stops there.
    I have tried to run the system from start at the FSB 155 and i get the same problem with the system hanging.
    I have been reading a bit on the forums and found that it might be my power supply. I am using
    A-CASE INDUSTRIAL INC (Says AMD recommended, a bit old though)
    model : LC-A300ATX
    3.3v - 20A
    5v - 30A
    12 - 10A
    5 and 3v combined = 160w
    300 watt max.
    Also i have the crutial memory mod in there which i also realise could be the problem.
    I was hoping if someone could maybe help me identify the most likley course from how the system is acting to what the problem might be, also could it be to do with the CPU temp.
    cheers

  • High pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor

    I am getting high pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor.
    Sound is coming from some place near CPU area.
    I tried changing Core C 6 State in BIOS from Enabled to Disabled to fix this issue.
    I also followed steps in following link, w w w . tomshardware.com/forum/292915-30-high-pitched-noise-coming-area
    No luck with above changes.
    I heard this is a common problem with MSI motherboards. Is there any fix for this issue.

    Quote from: flobelix on 12-January-13, 18:49:48
    That is surely no typical problem of MSI mainboards. In fact that is very rare if it is the board.
    Tke the board out of case on a non conductive surface with nothing else connected but but mainboard, ram, psu, cpu and vga. Try it again after clearing CMOS (>>Clear CMOS Guide<<)
    If you are then 100% sure that it is the board this could be a defect as MSI mainbaords normally don't cause coil whine and I haven't heard that about 970A-G46 so far
    I tried clearing CMOS by replacing jumper and loading factory defaults. Still high pitch sound is coming intermittently. As my 30 day period is over with Frys Electronics, How easy to get a replacement board from MSI. Does anyone know the steps?

  • Can I use USB 3 with my 2.8Ghz Quad-core

  • Audition CC - Compatibility with Mac Pro 2012 (Quad-Core) & RME UFX

    I am new here and wanting to use Audition again after being away for years, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. In previewing a training video about Audition CC it highlighted that Audition CC is now 64 bit.  Before I download CC I want to be sure that the 64 bit part does not present a problem for me on my system.  I do not know if my hardware is 32 or 64 bit.  My question is - Will I have any compatibility issues with my hardware: Mac Pro 2012 Quad-Core & RME UFX interface and the Audition CC software?  Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.

    It's not the hardware you want to worry about (that will be 64-bit capable, as all Macs are) but the software. If it's a recent Mac I don't think you'll have any problems at all, though - do they actually do a 32-bit release?
    The best thing to do if you're worried about this is to download the trial version and see if that's okay.

  • Why is my image processing time additive when I have it spread to seperate timed structures on a quad-core realtime desktop computer?

    I am developing a vision application on a quad-core realtime desktop computer and 2 NI-1430 boards.  There are 3 cameras.  Each has its own timed structure loop with its own cpu core.  We generated the image processing vi's with Vision Assistant.  I expected the image processing for each camera to happen in parallel, but the total elapsed time is the same as if the image processing was serial.
    Are the Vision Assistant generated vi's not designed for this?  Do I have to set some properties to facilitate multi-core processing? For example, do the shared lower-level vi's have to declared re-entrant?

    Hey arnieb,
    It would be interesting to see your code in 'parallel mode' as opposed to 'serial mode.' In 'serial mode' are you processing the image from one camera and then the other? So, do you actually wire error wires (or other form of execution order control) connecting the processing code from one camera to the processing code of another? How does the processing time of your code compare to processing images from a single camera?
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I tell if I have an i7 dual core or quad core processor?

    I just got my brand new (2011 refurbished) MacBook Pro yesterday and it is slow and choppy right out of the box. I checked the "About This Mac" screen and it says I have the "2.2 GHz Intel Core i7". It says nothing about "dual core" or "quad core". I thought I was buying a quad core, but now I'm starting to wonder exactly what I bought.
    Does anyone have any insight on this?

  • I have an hp pavilion laptop with non working usb ports

    I just called HP to order a replacement OS cd so I can restore this computer -- I've tried everything else to no avail!  I was just told by the hp technician that an HP laptop that is not yet 5 years old that I paid nearly $800 for is GARBAGE!  He actually indicated I should throw it away!!
    I have no words to sufficiently express my disappointment.  I will never buy another HP product.

    Scrambled or pixelated screen
    Divided split screen (2 screens up to 12 split screens)
    Screen black however backlit
    Screen black with no backlight however blue lights come on the quickplay panel

    White or grey screen sometimes with horizontal lines
    Press power button and nothing happens what so ever (seems dead) (mostly on DV2000 models)
