New laptop - slow restart, fast "shutdown/poweron" ?

Hi,
I got a new laptop the other day, installed Office, Skype, Chrome etc.
I did a windows update to update everything
There was a Nvidia update too (something to do with making it compatible with GTA5)
After all of that - I now have a laptop which will boot really quite fast from a "shutdown",
but hangs for a minute or two with a black screen (just before the login) if I do it via a "restart"
Any ideas ? 

Make sure you have downloaded the latest Flash Player.

  • A355D S6921 brand new seems slow and on vista 32 not 64

    Hello to all. I just bought this Toshiba A355D series from HHGreg. It has 3G ram, 250G HHD, and a 2.0Ghz AMD Turion X2 64 dual core processor running Windows Vista home premium. My desktop that i got awhile ago has 2G ram and a AMD 2.1 dual core running XP Pro SP3... Logical thinking would say the brand new laptop should be faster with its more memory or at least equivalent but this thing is SLOW. It has a hard time with the simplest multitasking and locks up every time i click on a different program. It takes forever to browse different internet pages and God forbid i open up another program while doing it... Why is it running soo slow? Also it's suppost to have the 64 bit config I thought but the system checks on the computer all say it's running 32 bit. Why is that? It says 64 right the front of the laptop? any ideas or solutions would be great. Thank you

    Sorry I can't answer any of your important questions.  But I just checked the spec sheet for your exact model, and (right or wrong) it states that your laptop comes with Vista 32bit, not 64.  Are you perhaps confusing the 64 bit processor, with the operating system?
    Also, Vista is a resource hog compared to XP, which may partially explain the slower performance, even with more RAM.

  • I have ipad 1 how do i move my library from my very old computer to my new laptop i dont know what the difference is in mac or pc either and i havent backed up my library on the old one because its so slow

    i have an ipad 1 how do i move my library (for old ipod nano)( this a brand new ipad i hvaent synced yet) thats on a 2001 computer to my new laptop i got last christmas. i havent backed up anything cause the old computer is too slow. i tried home sharing but it just wont work. the help gave me an option of moving everything on my ipad and then moving it to the laptop. im just afraid that it will delete everyhting cause it doesnt mention ipad

    I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
    Plug your phone into iTunes
    Click setup as a new device
    Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
    Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
    Plug your phone back in
    Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
    This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device.

  • I am trying to home share with my new MacBook. The music library I am wishing to share is not displaying anywhere on my new laptop under music or library. My computer is authorized and I have tried restarting itunes, etc. Any help/ideas?

    I am trying to home share with my new MacBook. The music library I am wishing to share is not displaying anywhere on my new laptop under music or library. My computer is authorized and I have tried restarting itunes, etc. Any help/ideas?

    Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
    By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'.

  • Why is Firefox 6.0 very very slow on my new laptop (Asus G74) under Windows 7 x64 ?

    Hello everyone ! Today I've received my new laptop. An powerfull G74. The first thing I have done was to install Microsoft updates. And then, install Firefox. And then.. waited about 20 sec for beeing able to type something in the url bar. Same thing about tabs. Open a new tab take about 10 secs. I Don't know what I need to do to have the same speed as on my old laptop with Firefox... :/

    Hope this helps a bit

  • Firefox 17 painfully slow on new laptop

    I have a brand new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Firefox 17 is running very very slow. IE9 runs perfectly fine. Speedtest.net results using IE averages 13MB download speeds; using Firefox averages 2.5MB.
    Is there a known compatibility issue with Windows 7 64 bit or something? I love Firefox and want to use it over IE, so I'm hoping there's a fix.
    By the way, I tried a couple of tweeks that I found online, but they didn't seem to help or hurt the problem.

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    If you use F-Secure Browser Protection then see:
    *http://community.f-secure.com/t5/Protection-Safe/Browser-Protection-is-making/td-p/2355/page/6
    Try to disable "Use advanced process monitoring" in the F-Secure Deepguard settings.
    *open Computer Security main window and select "Settings"
    *in settings dialog go to "DeepGuard"
    *uncheck "Use advanced process monitoring" checkbox
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Slow connection speed on new laptop - BT Hub3

    Hello,
    i recently bought a new laptop and since i started using the internet on it I have some speed problems. I explain below.
    My laptop is new (samsung with windows 7 home premium SP1 64-bit version), i bought it about a month ago and after using it, sometimes I noticed a slow internet connection. Sometimes it got very slow and the pages couldn't be loaded. On a few occasions my connection gets lost for seconds but that doesn't happen to my other old laptops!
    I also have 2 other laptops with no connection problems and tried to see what could be the problem.
    My wireless router is BT hub3 and seems to be OK and gives to the old 2 laptops its maximum speed about 6-7 mbs.
    I then compared the three laptops' settings and what I observed was that my new laptop had a low speed at the connection status window (control panel > netw. & internet > netw. & sharing center > connection status), when i click on the name of my connection and check its status i find that: the speed is usually 18-24 Mbps. It also fluctuates over time, sometimes it gets up to 54 mbps other times down to 11 mbps. I found really strange that my 2 old laptops have a stable speed of 54 mbps when i check the same connection status. With the new laptop my internet doesnt get its maximum speed, when the laptop's speed is down to 18 mbps I run an online speedtest and get 4-5 Mbps instead of 6-7 with the 54 mbps, as the old 2 laptops do.
     I used to have connection problems with my old router (BT Hub2) some time ago, so I know about removing any other interference (currently i have no tv on, the microwave is not near the router, i use the least busy wireless channel and tried to place the laptop near the router but it's not much better).
    Something else to notice is that I get the same problem when my new laptop is the only one working, with the other two the old ones being switched off. I haven't checked that several times, it might be worse when the new laptop is working along with one of the old ones but i don't really think that matters.
    My new laptop uses a network adapter Broadcom 802.11n and the old 2 laptops have an Atheros AR5007EG. At another online forum I asked the same question they told me to try and change the radio type of my router to b/g instead of b/g/n, as the new laptop could be trying to connect on n speed but gets affected by the old ones who connect to the b/g type. I am not sure that could help as my laptop is brand new and should be compatible to the bt hub3 router using the new 802.11n system.
    Can someone give some help with my problem? Even if i can't solve the problem I would like to have a feeling of the problem being a laptop problem or just incompatibility of my laptop to the router?? If it's a laptop problem I should consider asking for a replacement or repair.
    Thanks very much for any help!

    thanks for the answer, coming back to my problem...
    I have tried switching to 802.11b/g, i see some improvement but this is happening occasionally. my speed is up to 5 mbs when my old laptops have the proper 7 mbs speed.
    what is still happening is my connection status speed on my laptop shows 54 mbps for some time and then drops to 18 mbps. it also generally fluctuates and is not stable at 54 mbps as with my old laptops. when it's down to 18 mbps the speedtest result is 5 mbs. my old laptops (which are older technology after all..) always get to the 7mbs speed which is what I pay for.
    i am not sure what the connetion status speed on my laptop should be, why it is not stable as with my old laptops and why I am not getting a stable proper speed of 7 mbs with my new laptop. could it be a hardware issue? What other possible reasons for that problem could be? as I said above no other devices are near my router and I use the inssider software to find the less busy channel.

  • Brand new laptop: Incredibly slow and laggy.

    Hi,
    My mum received a brand new laptop on Saturday (this exact laptop) it hasnt been overly used as yet but the laptop seems very VERY slow. Browsers take a good while to open, sites like Facebook take ages to load - Farmville 2 for example takes an age to load and even when it does its very laggy.
    Why is this band new laptop so slow? Nothing has been installed on it other than Firefox and the spec of the laptop seems pretty reasonable. Windows 8 is horrible but thats another issue.
    Can anyone help or give any advice?

    Do you open farmville from the laptop or from the internet? Have you checked the speed of your LAN or wireless?
    Which are you using wireless or LAN NIC?
    When you open application on the laptop is it slow?
    Trying to determine if it is the connectivity is slow or if it is your laptop.
    Also what version of AMD Catalyst are you using?
    Here are some things you can do to make sure you are fully updated.
    Make sure you have the most current .NET Framework 4.0
    Make sure you have the most current DirectX 11.2
    Make sure all of the other Microsoft Updates are complete as well. Missing Updates can cause issues.
    Uninstall the AMD Catalyst you have now, before installing the Beta version.
    I know most are trying to use the AMD Catalyst 13.9, which is used Windows 8 64-bit.
    The AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 Driver can be downloaded from either of these two links:
    AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows®
    AMD Mobility Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows

  • Slow performance of a new laptop

    Hey hi,
    Can anyone please help me to know the reason why a new laptop runs slows.
    My laptop is taking about a inute to boot.Installing a new app also takes time when compared to others.

    Hi Nozy,
    Welcome
    Have you seen these articles?
    http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/faqs/how-to-speed-up-your-computer/
    You wouldn't have age problems on a new computer, but you could take a look at what programs you might not be interested in keeping. That includes an anti-virus if you are using one other than the one that is part of Windows.

  • Very slow download speeds with new laptop with windows seven- WRT160N Router

    Just bought a new Laptop with windows 7 and  of course wireless.  Download speeds are horrible (0.2 mbs)  and upload speeds are normal for me ( 8mbs) Have a wrt160N  Wire less router.   Older laptop  and desktop work fine  with normal( around (8mbs) downloads and uploads.  
    How do I fix this? 

    Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

  • Snow Leopard - very slow restart / reboot and Boot Camp restart fail

    Hi
    After Snow Leopard installation on my Macbook Pro I have a very slow restart. I logged this immediately after install and waited till 10.6.1 was issued and installed but still have the same problems. Hope some one can help.
    For an normal restart or reboot I have the grey screen for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for about 2 mins 30 secs before loading desktop. This is longer than Leopard and clearly not what Snow Leopard is meant to be. I have installed on an iMac as well and can see the new normal fast boot.
    I also have Windows on it's own partition and use in Boot Camp. I have used this successfully under Leopard.
    When I restart from Windows using the Start button and restart, Windows shuts down and then the mac starts up but gets stuck indefinitely on the blue screen. I have waited up to 25 mins then forced a shut down.
    However if I restart from Windows using the Boot Camp icon in the taskbar and choose the restart from MacOSX it shuts down windows and restarts the mac in record time!! about 25 secs grey screen and 25 secs blue screen. I can't get this in normal mac mode! - Bizarre.
    I have run Disk Utility, repaired permissions, run Tech Tool, Onyx, reset PRAM, deleted startup items plists and removed startup items from System Preferences Account.
    I have monitored the Console app for all the startup conditions noted above and will post below. In the logs of the normal mac reboot you can see something to do with Security Agent taking over 2 mins to load. Maybe that is a clue, but I don't understand these messages. Please note that the iStatsmenu app was installed after snow leopard and I had these slow startups before it's installation.
    If anyone technical can understand what the **** is going on here I would really appreciate your feedback.
    Regards
    Eric

    Hi guys
    Thanks for your contributions. I have made little progress on this issue since posting.
    Just as added info, I did a re-install of Snow leopard from install DVD and upgrade again to 10.6.1 and no change to the startup behaviours. Same pattern as before, although the first restart was fast and probably how it is meant to be, then the slow ones reappeared.
    I also had a thought that somehow it may be related to the nominated startup disk. There were posts on other boards about similar issues with Leopard where the hanging start was found to be related to the computer not knowing which startup disk to use. I thought maybe as it works when using the boot camp icon from Windows but not the restart button, it may be related, but in OSX and Windows both are set to startup in OSX on HD. So no further joy.
    Maybe someone else will come along who can understand the Console logs. Why does the loginwindow and Security Agent take so long?
    Do you guys have any clues from your Console system logs? Does yours hang on loginwindow?
    The fact that there are so few people with the same problem suggests to me that there is a third party device/preference/ hidden file somewhere that is having an effect and it's not an Apple issue.
    I am getting close to wiping the hard drive and starting again....but live in hope.
    Cheers

  • Looking for a new laptop, please help

    I am looking into purchasing a new laptop in the next couple weeks in the $700 price range and am wondering what the best options are. I have basically narrowed it down to the Toshiba P745-S4217 and Asus U46E-BAL5. But I also like the sony VPCEG16FM/W and Toshiba R835-P70. Which one is the best bange for the buck? I want something that is fast and not to loud or overheat. I like having good speakers and something that is fast. I know the Toshiba R835-P70 is only 4GB RAM but is it that much slower then the ASUS U46E-BAL5 8GB? I dont do any gaming so that doesnt matter, will just use for school and surfing the web so want something that is fast and built to last a few years. If they are all pretty similar I am thinking the Toshiba P745-S4217 is probably best option due to speakers and blu ray. Finally, besides what is already listed on your site, are there any major differences or things I should know about the four computers I have listed. Thank you for your time and help. Feel free to offer any other suggestions for laptops as well.

    No one can answer this for you.  You will get lots of opinions, but you have to decide which of those laptops is right for you.  You'll have to compare keyboards, screens, what software is loaded on it, etc. 
    Now, for my opinion (remember, you'll get lots of those):  Stay as far away as you can from Sony computers.  They are overpriced, and they have terrible build wuality.  Toshiba has been going downhill the last two or three years, but not as badly as Sony.  Asus products are pretty good, I would not hesitate to recommend them.  THey have been making motherboards for a long time.
    Any computer in your price range will easily handle the tasks you stated.  "Fast" is a relative term, and when comparing, the figures are pretty much meaningless .  Another reason to do a hands on comparison in the store.
    If a single model in your price range has a lot fo features that the others do not have, then be very wary...that usually means sub-par components used just to get better specs.

  • I downlaoded itunes on my new laptop it worked fine noiw it wont open

    I bought a new laptop and installed intunes it worked fine until I updated it now it wont open at all, it says tell other operator to stop using it there is no other operator

    it says tell other operator to stop using it there is no other operator
    Are you using fast user switching on that PC? If so, that message usually indicates that iTunes is open in a different Windows user account on the PC. Go into the other user account, quit iTunes and log back into your user account. Try launching iTunes again.
    If you're not sure which other user account has iTunes running, restart the computer. Does iTunes launch without the error after the restart?

  • New Laptop for Premiere+PS elements 11 + LR4

    I just bought the Photoshop/Premiere elements 11 suite together with lightroom 4. I was running them in trial mode and really liked them so I bought the software. As I understand it right, the activation key allows 2 activations. The software is installed on my desktop pc and now I'm searching for  a new laptop.
    I was looking for an ultrabook but they almost all have only 4 Gb of memory. So i want a machine with at least 8gb ram and if possible a 256 Gb SSD.
    Which laptop would you advise which runs the software fine?
    Second, I also looked at the Macbook pro 13 inch Retina but I've found a review of a guy which says, it's to slow to run this kind of software fast and fine. I'm not a professional photographer but is the interview right? (The apple's are so expensive....)
    I've never worked with a mac so this would be my first one....
    Should I stick to a windows 7 laptop?
    Is there a major difference advantage for this software running on a specific operating system? (Windows or Mac)?
    Thanks

    SD (Standard Defintion) captured from a tape camera via Firewire is the easiest to edit... AVCHD and DSLR require a LOT more computer power
    Look for 2 hard drives, or SSD and 1 hard drive, and a CPU appropriate to the kind of video you will edit
    These links are more aimed at Premiere Pro... but you still need a laptop that is going to be strong enough for the kind of video you will edit

  • Slow Restarts

    My MSi GT 70 and my daughters MSI both experienced extremely slow restarts out of the box. This was corrected by using an elevated command prompt and sfc /scannow.
    Simply search for command prompt. right click it. choose run as administratot then type sfc /scannow.  note the space between sfc and /scannow.
    this corrected are problems in short order

    Thanks for sharing this tip.
    If the laptop is new, F3 recovery can also do the trick I think.
