Satellite P505D-s3859 random slow down then crash

I got the laptop with Windows Vista, had this problem (along with many other Vista related ones), so I formatted and installed Windows 7 with all the drivers hoping to fix it. Same problem. Doesn't seem to affect Ubuntu Linux when I dual boot over into that, but my laptop reliably crashes or has to be rebooted at least once or twice a day.
The problem seems to be random, but let me describe the normal case that I'm in when it occurs. I will be running Windows 7, multiple browsers, Yammer, Skype, dropbox, winamp and AVG. The first, most obvious symptom is that any USB pariphials will stop working (I use a usb wireless mouse) and the sound will go into uber-slow motion mode. At this point, everything on the laptop will be ultra slow to respond, but I can still close my apps down if I do it quickly. If I'm not using any external usb nor listening to an audio file, and I miss the slow down event, the laptop will eventually crash.
When this happens, I ctrl-alt-del and check task manager, but I don't see anything particular using up all the resources. I've updated everything I could with the windows 7 drivers from the toshiba site, but still have this problem. It was affecting me with Windows Vista, and this is the second Windows 7 install I've done on this laptop, with the same symptoms.

Maybe this one? (It has all the digits.)

I'm not a hardware guru, but the problem seems consistent with a flaky hard drive. It certainly has nothing to do with software. See what chkdsk c: /r has to say.
The entry in Event Viewer occurs when the processor is throttled back to save battery charge.

Premiere Pro CC gradually slows down, then crashes, but won't quit all the way. Corrupts project, and hangs when trying to open it.

Working on a project, updated to newest Premiere last night. This morning my project had terrible performance on playback, and eventually the viewer froze on one frame (though audio continued to play back). Every time I try to open it now, it freezes. Really screwing me over, as this project is one a time line. Any suggestion for trouble shooting?

Here's a screenshot of my library folder:
No quicktime.

Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. I am using windows XP pro and a pretty decent computer. All software is up to date and i do no have a virus. I have even tried to disable my add-ons and plug-ins but it did not make a difference. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

MBP slowed down and crashes

Hello, I have MacBook pro Mid 2012. After update to Mavericks, my laptop really slowed down, started crashing, lagging, especially Safari, Launchpad have lags, in general video performace is bad, also Activity Monitor shows that browser takes 100% CPU, temperatures are higher in comparison to Mountain Lion.
Resetting SMC, PRAM and reinstall don't help.

OK, so I booted OS X Recovery and Disk Utility - according to it, everything is fine.

Then, I started in Safe Mode and still there was poor graphic? video? performance, I understand that it shouldn't be perfectly smooth, but there was weird flashing, crashing and stuff. Photo:
You can see some of it (it's from Safari, but for example Launchpad is even worse). It's like that all the time in Safe Mode. I don't know if that's normal.
And I did SMC reset again, but it also didn't help.
Oh and apps often crash when I first start them, but then, I repeat action and they open.
Funny story, Mavericks should improve performance, better video memory and ram, but I'm experiencing completely different story.

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit. So I have to force quit every time.
It does not matter if I am working with HD or 4K - same thing happens.
This began happening about a week ago. Nothing really new has changed. I tried to repair permissions and check this from a new admin account because I know that is what Adobe thinks the answer to every problem is. But it did not change anything.
Mac 10.10.2
3.5 ghz 6-core

Used this tip from Adobe and it worked, all running quick and smooth again.
Hope it works for you too.

Slow down after crash

I recently had a total crash. I discovered that Time Machine had not worked since March, my fault. I am rebuilding the system and starting to use it. It seems to slow things down quite a bit when it is backing up. I don't remember this being the case before. It also gives a lot of errors. Does this mean that there are some files that simply will not be backed up on that current past?
I can only hope, I guess, that on the next attempt those files are actually copied. Has anyone else noticed this slowing down of the system? Is it recommended that Time Machine be used on an on and off basis. I guess that would be one way to determine if Time Machine is responsible for the slowness and the wheel popping up as often as it does.

It's first backup, or the first one after a long time, will be a full one -- everything on your system, unless you've excluded things. So yes, that one will take quite a while. Thereafter, they should be very quick.

No, it's not. TM usually works best if you let it do it's normal hourly backups. If not, then something is wrong.

Graphite slows down then speeds up

My graphite BS (one of the very first ones) has worked great for many years. Recently, in the past month or two it has started being very very slow then going back to normal speeds then slowing down. It seems to be random--I see no patterns as to time of day, number or types of machines connected, sites being browsed, or anything else. The signal strength is always maxed out, so it's not that. If it just never connected, I would say it's done for, but sometimes it's very fast, sometimes painfully slow. Can it be slowly dying?

I have a snow ABS, but I'm experiencing the same issue. It's worked fine for years but now here recently my internet speeds are tanking. I have a 5 Mbps cable modem but repeated bandwidth tests show that I'm getting 500 Kbps speeds or less on my PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz. This isn't a Leopard issue because I'm still running Tiger on my iMac G4 which is plugged directly into the ABS and I get similar speeds with that. I also don't think it's a connectivity issue because I have a strong signal (3 bars usually, 4 bars sometimes) on the PowerBook, and as I said the iMac is plugged directly in. Now when I plug the cable modem directly into the iMac and run the same bandwidth test I get speeds in the 4.3 Mbps or more range.
I'd love for there to be some setting I could tweak to restore my speeds to their usual level. Any help would be appreciated. If not, I may have to break down and cop a new ABS. Probably will go for the Airport Extreme even though my PowerBook can't take advantage of the 802.11n speeds. I also have an Airport Express on the network for iTunes streaming to my stereo and it can only do 802.11g. I thought about getting another one to replace the ABS but I can't plug the old iMac directly into it. So I would have to pop in an 802.11b card to get it on the network and that would really kill the overall network speed. So an Airport Extreme should give me 802.11g speeds with my setup, and then if I ever upgrade to a MacBook Pro ... and if Apple ever releases an Airport Express that supports 802.11n I would be in a position to get top speeds. My only concern is will I fork over $180 for an Airport Extreme only to find that it gives me dismal internet speeds as well? I hope the problem is that my ABS is just old and starting to wear out. It has been running constantly for years. But could it be something else that a new Airport Extreme won't address?

Satellite C850 - fan is slowing down + choppy videos

Hello
I am here to post this about my laptop fan my laptop is an Toshiba Satellite C850 and it has a i3 CPU core
i know this is not good for gaming
the only games i play is war thunder, minecraft and stuff like that not to big games for top speck pcs but its all i can get at the moment
i also do YouTube and when i am trying to play and record i notice my fan speeds up has normal frames then all of a sudden my fan slows down to 20% percent and i get 5 frames and the videos very choppy
If any one could help me this that would be very nice.
Thanks :)

Hi
From my point of few the notebook slow downs due to CPU overloading and the internal temperature.
Because of the high amount of processes which are running simultaneously, the CPU as well as the GPU go to the limit. The result is an high warmness produced by CPU and GPU and therefore the cooling modules and fan run faster.
After that the GPU/CPU performance will be decreased to reduce the warmness. This process slow down the fan and obviously this affects the video performance.
I think first of all you should check if the cooling vents are free of dust. The CPU and GPU require proper cooling and therefore the cooling grilles as well as fan should be free of dust and debris.
Furthermore I would recommend checking the window advanced power management settings.
There you can modify the cooling mode as well as the CPU and GPU performance.
Last but not least an clean system installation could be helpful too. Why?
Because system might be overloaded by different background processes which slow down the system and lock CPU

Imovie slows down then freezes while importing from camera

I am trying to import a movie from my canon hv10. I've never had problem the last 2 movies I did. but this time around it starts importing, and a few clips later, slows down to 1/8th time. then freezes. The camera is still playing but it has stopped importing. I have tried to pause it to let it catch up. Restarting it numerous times. It is being imported into my 500 GB hard drive. I have 400 GB available. It's worked before in HD. Any ideas? anything would be helpful, I've searched every single message board so far. thanks.

I had a smilar problem. it came up when I changed OS to Leopard OS X 10.5.
My Imovie HD 5 had been working fine until then under earlier OS versions, both in LP as well as in normal mode. Then all of a sudden importing stopped eery few seconds.
I checked many discussions in this forum and tried a lot of suggested solutions, to no avail. I have now come to realise that Leopard is the problem, not the camera, the cable, or preferences or good old iMovie HD.
I simply went back to an older laptop (iBook) running OS 10.3.9 and iMovie 3 . No problem whatsoever importing clips (just had to start a new project about every 20 minutes of clip import). Then attached my external harddrive via firewire, copied the projects to the Hard Disk and then opened them with iMovie HD 5 and bingo: the project was OK and could be further worked on.
So that does not solve the basic problem, but is not too complicated as workaround.

morrisroe,
were any of the crashes due to GPU panics?
It looks like something has modified your /etc/hosts file — do you know which of your apps has done that?
Did you ensure that all of your installed third-party apps are compatible with Mavericks before upgrading to Mavericks?
Your Silverlight plug-in is out of date; you can download the latest version (5.1.30317.0) from here.

Macbook keeps slowing down and crashing

Hi,
I started having this problem about 2 weeks ago. Everything was working fine, then out of nowhere, my macbook froze. I waited for about 10 minutes, then I turned it off. When I turned the computer back on, it was EXTREMELY slow. It took 15 minutes just to boot, and after that, even when i just moved the cursor, the rainbow wheel would appear and keep spining for 20 minutes. It was impossible to do anything. So I decided to restore the hard drive from a backup I had. After I did that, it worked fine for a couple hours, then the same thing happened. Then I did some research and concluded that my hard drive was dying, so I got a new one, restored it from my backup and replaced my old hard drive. But after a few hours same thing happened again.
So I know the problem is not related to the hard drive. Also, I everything seems to work fine when I boot from an external hard drive. Only when I replace and boot from the internal hard drive connection, the slow down occurs and eventually gets to a point where I can't do anything with my computer. Sometimes I can repair it using the disk utility and diskwarrior, but it doesn't last long, eventually it starts slowing down again and then the same thing happens. The operating system doesn't make any difference either. It happens both with Leopard and Snow Leopard.
I'd appreciate it if anyone knows what would be causing this problem.
Thank you.

How much free space on the drive?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
I have more than 50% free disk space. I did have some slowing down problems before because of disk space, but this time it's different. It's not a regular kind of slowin down, it slows down so much that it becomes imposible to do anything. Even when I just move the cursor, rainbow wheel appears and doesn't go away for 10 minutes.
But thank you anyway.

Will OS X Mountain Lion slow down or crash my MacBook Air "13?

Hi
I just downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and I am hesitant to install it... Here are some reasons why
1. My MacBook Air will crash during the installation
2. It will dramaticly slow down my notebook (CPU)
Thanks if you can answer my question.
P.S. I have to 2GB of memory (RAM)

It won't slow it down over Lion. Likely be faster, but you would be better off with 4GB or more RAM.

HT1750 My iMac slowed down, then word and PowerPoint wouldn't work, then I tried to switch users and shut it down with the button on the left back and now the whole screen is white and it is frozen and dead. Please help!

iMac slowed down, PowerPoint and word wouldn't work, I tried to switch users then shut it down and now it is frozen with a white screen. Help please!

From the way you are describing it, it sounds like the HD has failed. Please look over Gray screen appears during startup for troubleshooting steps. You can also run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode, it may take 2-3 passes for any error codes to appear and each pass takes approximately 30-60 minutes. However either way you should plan on taking it into an Apple Store or AASP for service.

Satellite A500-17X - Games slow down if I play on battery mode

Hi
When my laptop (Satellite A500-17X) is plugged in, the game I play (Call Of Duty 4) works very nice but if I try to play the game while my laptop is on battery the games slows down. If you know what I mean.
Is this supposed to happen because the graphic card doesn't work well when the laptop is on battery or is something wrong with my laptop?

Hi
As mentioned my Syntax, Windows power management decreases the performance of some devices like GPU or CPU using battery mode.
This helps to safe the battery power and to increase the battery working time
Furthermore your cooling modules dont run with full performance using battery and this would lead to a higher internal temperature which could slow down the CPU and GPU as well
So connected the AC adaptor or change the settings in power management but you should note that this will decrease the battery working time dramatically.

Late 2012 Mac Mini - Random spinning beachball then crash.

Hi,
I have a late 2012 Mac Mini bought last summer. Since the early days I would randomly get the spinning beach ball and there was no bringing it back. A re-boot would be required. I upgraded to Yosemite and the issue still occurs. I could literally being doing any everyday activity. Browsing the web. Scroll through a quicktime video and it just happens. Now it will crash and I get a grey screen with a folder and blinking question mark. Now I know what that means but then when I reboot the Mac Mini it starts up again. Hardware test finds no faults. I was going to try a clean install but just wanted to get some opinions if possible. Thanks in advance.

This is also the begging of the crash report the system provide after reboot. If this helps.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
