Satellite C50-A628 running slow

Good day everyone.
Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, but, please help.
I know that maybe some people might think this as a waste of time or just something you could search in google, but, for about *7 months*, I've been trying to figure out why my new laptop is running slow.
As this laptop comes without any pre-installed operating system, there is no restore disk or factory reset disc. For the first few months of using my laptop, it's been running +windows 8.1 pro+.
Every time I use it, it opens everything okay, except when my browser is open. everything becomes unstable and doesn't respond. after a few seconds of not responding, I can use it again as long as I don't multi-task. I've installed the latest graphics drivers and some apps, but that's it. I thought that it was a problem with windows 8 about 5 days ago, so I downgraded to +windows 7 ultimate 64 bit+.
Now, i'm starting to think that maybe the problem is because of the drivers since I didn't install the drivers required for the laptop since it doesn't come with the drivers and reset disk.
So now, I'd like to ask for support on this matter. Please show the proper installation of windows 7 and the all the drivers required for my laptop which is the *TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50-A628 RUNNING WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64-bit*. (Or any idea on why this problem is occuring)
Thank you and have a nice day.
-George B.

One note: the system performance, especially the internet browser issues has NOTHING to do with drivers preinstalled on your notebook. Mostly drivers are not the reason why the notebook runs slow (open software slowly, etc)
Fact is that your Satellite C50-A628 was equipped with 2GB RAM.
Additionaly an part of this 2GB RAM is shared with GPU: Intel HD Graphics
Therefore less than 2GB are used for system and applications.
To be honest; this is not enough to run system smoothly!
I recommend you to upgrade the RAM at least to 4GB/6GB or better 8GB RAM to get better performance.
Regadign the drivers download:
The Win 7 driver can be downloaded here:

  • Toshiba Satellite L875d-s7230 Running Slow

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L875d-s7230 that is running very slow.  I completely recovered it back to the Factory out of Box state and its still extemely slow.  I have checked the memory using Memtest and checked the Hard Drive and there are no hardware issues that are showing up.  I have also checked it for rootkit Viruses and checked before and after the Factory recovery for viruses using Norton Interent Security 2013 and malwarebytes for Trojons/spyware. Of course it is a year and one month out of warrenty so I cannot get it repaired by Toshiba.  Please anyone have any suggestions?

    We don't know your tech knowledge so we start with basic info all these things can slow down a computer
    Have you ran disk clean up and disk defragment?
    Have you ran the chkdsk and sfc /scannow to check system files and disk errors?
    Is the laptops vents clean?
    If you recovered from the recovery partition it can also become corrupted and have errors - you may have to use your recovery DVD's.

  • Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5310 running SLOW

    I purchased this laptop 3 months ago.  When I first login with password, and try to open any programs, including Word, Excel, or my Quicken program, they're VERY slow to load.  Even after I get one of those programs loaded, Word for instance, opening a existing Word document is slow. Also, when I first get onto the web, every click to open a website is slow.  I don't have much in the way of music on my computer, and have no movies.  Any ideas?  Time to send it to Toshiba for repair? 
    This is a Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5310, AMD Quad-core (A8-6410),  Part No. PSCN4U-00T019
    Thanks!!!

    This is an experiment to learn more. What happens in Safe Mode with Networking? Are things still slow?
    Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe), set it this way, OK out, and restart Windows.

  • Satellite X200-20S runs slower with new motherboard

    I wonder if anybody can help - under warranty I have just had a replacement motherboard. (Before the replacement the computer switched off within ten seconds of startup). Since replacement the computer is runnning at about 90% of the speed than while it was working pre-replacement. I have spoken with the Toshiba support who claim that without "hard facts" about the speed there is nothing they can do (ie. they won't book it back in). In some ways this is fair, however it simply is not as good as before and various tests I have done (which they claim to be subjective) consistently show that the computer is slower.
    Toshiba support really like the Windows Experience Index (WEI) which I currently have as 4.8 - I think this is the same as before the replacement - but I have read that even this isn't that reliable. Can anybody with a X200-20S please tell me their WEI score, and a 3DMark'06 score?
    After the motherboard was replaced I also got a new drive (BD-ROM) on E: Of course X200-20S models don't have Blu-Ray so this does show that the motherboard is different to the original, albeit the part number apparently being the same (according to Toshiba support).
    I would like to know if anybody else has had a similar problem, and whether they managed to find a resolution. I am aware that the warranty expires in November and therefore must get things done quickly if anything can be done.
    If you can help, please let me know.
    Many thanks!

    Hi Tonny,
    Thanks for your suggestion. In all the time I've had the computer I've never bothered changing power management options, so am treating like for like. Since you mentioned it I've just had a look to see what the cpu option is, and it's 100% for the maximum output. However it is running more slowly as mentioned in the previous post.
    I am convinced beyond doubt that the motherboard (which is the only thing to be replaced) is the cause of the problem. I have reset the computer to factory settings, installed the latest drivers; everything I can possibly do - and every test (including my memory of how games ran before) proves beyond doubt that the machine is running more slowly.
    I simply am at a loss as to how to get the machine back to the previous speed. I can only think it isn't possible because the new motherboard replacements don't work as efficiently as the originals - although with the advance in technology over two and a half years that doesn't seem quite right. I can't get Toshiba support to take this problem seriously, because nothing is "broken". I wonder if it's some jumpers, or settings on the board which weren't done correctly when it was replaced.
    Thanks again.

  • How to enter the BIOS in Satellite C50-A006

    Hi!
    I wanted to enter BIOS to select boot sequence in Satellite C50-A006 running with Win8, but I was unsuccessful. I tried pressing F2, F8, F12, ESC and DEL but no luck. Also tried googling, also no luck.
    Please help.
    Thank you!

    Hi
    At first you must perform complete shutdown. After doing this you can start machine and enter BIOS settings.
    How to perform complete shutdown you can read on - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
    Try it please.

  • New Satellite C50-A264 Laptop way too slow.

    I got this Satellite C50-A254 few weeks ago,i didnt touch it alot.
    I only used this laptop 2-3 times but its just terribly slow.
    Even if i launched Google Chrome,it constantly stopps responding and i have no idea why because it was too slow from the first place when i booted this laptop which doesnt make sence at all.
    I cant run literary anything good. Even opening control panel takes about 5 seconds.
    The specs are:
    OS: Windows 8
    HDD: 500GB
    RAM: 2GB
    CPU: Pentunum
    I've only installed uTorrent and Steam,but i dont know why that causes this laptop to be terriblely slow.
    I didnt tried to uninstall anything since it was slow from the first time.
    I'm sure this was not a re-used PC.

    I have the exact same stituation with the Toshiba C50D
    Bought it from the South African disributor
    Out of the box it was so slow as to be unuseable even for basic email
    within 2 days I took it back
    They would not accept it back as it has been used (tried once and not again.)
    I am now stuck with the WORST EVER COMPUTER, WHICH HAS TOTALLY PUT ME OFF ALL TOSHIBA PRODUCTS.
    The computer has lived in the cupboard  in it's box for the past 6 months and not been used.
    I have since purchased a DELL in the same price range for my wife.
    I have since purchased a much more expensive Acer as a work machine.
    ===============
    Out of curiosity in the last day - I intalled a 256 Gig Solid state drive and increased the memory to 8Gig.  Updated to Windows 8.1
    ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN THE POOR PERFORMANCE.
    SHAME ON YOU TOSHIBA FOR SELLING SUCH COMPLETE RUBBISH AND RIPPING THE PUBLIC OFF.

  • Satellite C50-B P0010 is Slow :-(

    I want to know whether I am the only one stuck with this problem!!! My Satellite C50-B PSCMNG with Windows 8.1 x64 is really painfully slow... I even tried upgrading the RAM to 8GB, but NO change... My satellite still tends to be painfully slow... Firefox, Microsoft Office and all other softwares that i use are always laggy and hangs always... I even tried reinstalling windows many times, formatting hard disk... All the drivers are perfectly installed and Windows is up to date. Nothing helped me... My lap is only 2 months old... I never expected a PC with 4th gen quad core processor and 8GB RAM would be this bad. Please help me!!! I am really in pain and vexed. I gave up!!!      
    This is the laptop I am talking about   << Please click here

    That's not a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I've now installed the ad blocker, thrown away the unwanted files, and thrown away a copy of Firefox that Adware said had a problematic extension.
    Things are better, but still slow.
    Activity Monitor shows that with just Mail, Chrome and Excel running, 2.9GB of my 4GB RAM is used. Opening InDesign (always slow) increase that to 3.2GB. But the graph stays green.

  • WI-FI is not working on Satellite C50-A-179

    Hello everyone!
    I own Toshiba Satellite C50-A-179 (PSCGAE) laptop with Windows 8 and recently I've tried installing Connectify on it.
    However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop, and because of that Connectify couldn't work. I've tried to enable/install it somehow using tips found on the internet. One of the suggestion was to reinstall the Wireless Adapter driver.
    I uninstalled the original driver, and reinstalled it again after downloading it from Toshiba website ( [here|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=7934&selSh ortMod=3969&language=13&selOS=40&selType=97&yearup load=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=al lMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=all &selectedLanguage=13&type=97&page=1&ID=86778&OSID= 40&driverLanguage=42] )
    I'm sure I downloaded and installed the right driver for the right adapter which is "Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter". I made sure before the installation to check all the information about the adapter and the driver.
    However, after the reinstallation wifi has stopped working completely:
    -the wireless network connection icon/adapter from "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections" is there but it does not behave as it should, it just looks as a generic network connection icon and not a specific one-basically it doesn't represent the actual adapter and hasn't got the name of it in the note;
    -wifi option in Windows 8 settings menu-Change PC settings-Network has disappeared altogether (bluetooth option is still there and so is airplane mode option);
    -wifi can be turned on by pressing enable from the righ click menu of that generic network connection I've mentioned, but it won't pick up any signal and won't find any connections even though there definitely are some.
    There are no yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager list and the wireless adapter is there as well, behaving and pretending as if everything was all right and working properly.
    I've tried Troubleshooting, installing driver using Windows Update, installing and updating driver from its properties menu in Device Manager, and all kinds of things like that, but none of it has helped and wifi still does not work.
    Basically, the laptop seems to be thinking that the adapter is working properly and everything is fine HW and SW wise, but in reality it isn't. I really don't know what else I should try, I don't want to reinstall the whole operating system because I'm afraid it (or I) would mess everything up even more (messing up even more drivers).
    I'm running on a cable internet connection now, and I'm glad at least that is working (I really need the laptop for work and I can't afford to loose it for a day, let alone for longer)
    Could anyone please help me?
    Any ideas how to fix this and make wifi work again?
    I'll be really thankful for any advice.
    Thank you, Miko31.

    Hi
    In case the WLan card is recognized properly in device manager, the Wlan driver has been installed properly and I dont think that there could be a problem with WLan driver.
    In my opinion you should check if the WLan card is enabled properly by using the FN key combination
    Furthermore if Wlan has been enabled properly you should try to Add new WLan and should configure the Wifi once again.
    This can be done in control panel-> Network & Sharing center -> Manage wireless networks (on the left) -> Add button
    > However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop,
    Regarding the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
    You could enable this in device manager. Here choose your "network adapters", then you should find the Virtual Wifi Adapter. Now do right click it and enable it.
    It could be also possible that Virtual Wifi Adapter is hidden. In such case you should first unhide it from the device manger, then re-enable the adapter from the device manger tools.
    After that, you have to start your cmd (console) with admin right and should type:
    +netsh wlan start hostednetwork+

    Completely shut down laptop Completely shut down laptop (Shut down Windows 8 while pressing the Shift key to completely power off.) then restart computer and hold f2 when the screen goes black and wait for the bios setup utility to launch.
    Select advanced, then system configuration, then boot mode

    For windows 8 change to UEFI.
    Also in bios setup utility select - Security, then Secure Boot, then you have to enable secure boot for windows 8 and 8.1.
    On the C50 models you may have to enable the secure boot before it will let you change the advanced boot mode to UEFI.

  • Satellite C50-A0113 does not boot into windows

    Hello.
    I own a toshiba satellite C50-A0113 laptop running windows 8 64bit.
    Ive had it for exactly two years a few days ago i restarted it and then when it starts it stops at the "Toshiba leading innovation" screen and then it says scanning and repairing drive C while on that screen it starts the process and then stops at 34%.
    that was two days ago now it just gets stuck on the "toshiba leading innovation screen " then after a few minutes it says preparing automatic repair.
    It then leaves that screen and goes to a black screen for a few minutes then flashes the blue screen written "your computer encountered a problem" then restarts.
    I tried creating a bootable windows 8 disc in order to repair but it doesnt even boot into the usb.
    I restart and press f12 in order to select the media to boot into. It checks the media goes to the toshiba screen then just goes black for some minutes untill it restarts.
    May i please know what is wrong and how can i possibly fix this because the problem is clearly not my hard drive.
    I removed it and put into another laptop and it was fine

    Dear aya11,
    Defiantly it is a operating system issue.
    did you check in the BIOS mode??
    if your laptop is working fine in the BIOS mode then you have to reinstall operating system.
    if you have preloaded operating system then you can recover your operating system.
    recovery option is :*
    if you are using window 7 in your laptop then,
    just restart your laptop and hold the "0" numeric key..u get option HDD recovery just enter in HDD recovery
    then it showing popup for format laptop just click on the yes ..you get a next option and your laptop is getting restart.
    if you are using window 8 in your laptop then
    just restart your laptop and hold the "F12" numeric key..you get option HDD recovery just enter in HDD recovery
    then it showing popup for format laptop just click on the yes ..you get a next option and your laptop is getting restart.
    in case both option is not working then u have install a new OS.
    Thnx :)

  • My Satellite C50-A-1DV won't work without mains

    Hello
    I have a new Satellite C50 A 1 DV.
    It does not operate unless plugged into the mains.
    Does anyone know if that is correct?
    It seems odd.
    Also the far left light at the front (AC IN) never lights up.
    Is that OK?
    I'd be grateful if anyone could put my mind at rest!
    Thanks
    Jo

    > It does not operate unless plugged into the mains.
    >Does anyone know if that is correct?
    No, this isnt correct. If the main battery is fully charged, the notebook should run also without the connected AC adaptor.
    In case the battery would not charge properly, get in contact with Toshiba authorized service provider in order to check the battery and if necessary to replace it with another, new one.
    Greetings

  • Toshiba Satellite C50 Startup Repair not working

    Right, first off I am not very technologically savvy so apologies if I sound like I've no idea what I'm talking about because, really I don't.
    My Toshiba Satellite C50 froze last night and I had no other option but to hold the power button down to turn it off. When it switched back on again it froze at the start screen as Windows was opening.  Alas, I had no other option but to press the power button down again, this time taking me to the Startup repair screen.  Now I've ran this about 10 times and it keeps running forever, not solving any repair issues at all.  Every time I try to start Windows normally it freezes at the same Windows is loading screen.
    Also I cannot find the recovery disk that came with the laptop and have tried F8 but every option seems to take me to the Startup repair screen again which isn't solving anything.
    Please help!

    There won't be a physical disc, no manufacturer's provide those nowadays. You can access the hard drive's recovery partition, which provides similar functionality, by holding the zero key while booting up, form there you can restore to the out of the box state. That will wipe all data on the drive, but if the hardware is still functional that should resolve the issue.

  • Satellite C50-A-1CK double characters appear when typing

    All
    I have a brand new Satellite C50-A-1CK which is perfect for my needs EXCEPT I continually get double characters appearing on screen when typing which is:
    A. VERY frustrating
    B. Wasting a lot of time as I have to keep correcting words to remove the duplicate characters.
    Please does anyone know of a fix for this? It can affect any key on the keyboard and it doesn't matter if I type slow or quick, press the keys firmly or as light as possible.
    Have checked for firmware updates but none available.
    Thanks in advance!

    The Touchpad issue you have I mayy be able to help with....
    It sounds like you have the "Enable Edge Swipes" set on. This will bring up Windows 8 menu on the right hand side of the screen when ever you swipe from the right hand side of the keypad towards the middle.
    Yours is a different model to mine but assuming the setting is in the same place then:
    open Control Panel
    Open Hardware and Sound
    Under Devices and printers click "Mouse"
    In the "mouse properties" window click on Device Settings
    Highlight the touchpad and click the "settings" button below it
    De-select "Enable Edge Swipes"
    Hope this helps

  • Satellite C50-A-157 - Unable to use touchpad without holding left button

    I know very little about my Satellite C50-A-157 . Run on Windows 8. I am main /admin user and all of a sudden I am unable to move the mouse/cursor.. only way it seems to let me, is if I hold the left hand botton (bottom of mouse pad) down at same time, then it moves around.
    But then high-lights everything.
    I have tried pressing FN+F5 at same time (nothing happens) even taken battery out of back (again does not solve issue) the MOuse/arrow is just frozen on the page.. this does not happen in my partners profile, (he is another user) the mouse seems to work fine..
    I thought it was that the mouse pad, had worn out (as is shiny now) but this does not explain why it only happens under my profile/user, not his?
    If anyone can offer any help, much appreciated... I only stumbled across the fact, it lets me use it (if I hold in left button at same time)
    Also have tried the 'Sticky keys' shift x5, again this does not do anything or clear this problem.
    And have gone into control panel usinw Windows+ X and gone into troubleshooting, again, not solved the problem.

    .. this does not happen in my partners profile, (he is another user) the mouse seems to work fine..
    Since the touchpad is still working using another user profile, I guess there must be only some software conflict.
    Usually you can enable or disable the touchpad pressing F5 (or FN+F5) but you already tried this combination and this did not enable the touchpad…
    So from my point of few you should simple uninstall the touchpad driver and after you have downloaded the newest touchpad driver package from Toshiba EU driver page, unzip the package and perform new touchpad driver installation…
    After the installation has been finished, restart the notebook…
    Good luck
