Slow pc performance

I recently bought the HP Pavilion 15-p042nb Notebook PC and I think something is wrong because it is working slower then my 4 year old pc.
I noticed this when playing League of Legends that my fps was around 40 even when playing on low resolution and Graphics. I understand this pc is not meant for gaming but on my 4 year old laptop I got a lowest of 80 fps on the same settings, even tho that this laptop should have alot less performance.
Normally League of Legends should work on my high performance graphic card, but I don't see much difference if I switch it on the other graphic card.
Please help

Slow GPIB performance after upgrading GPIB from 1.7 to 2.6 in Windows XP

We have bought several GPIB cards and installed driver 2.6, and I also installed the driver on my computer too. After installation, I got some questions:
1. After installation, under the path folder "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C", there are three subfolders: include, lib32, and lib64.
    1) What is the difference between ni488.h, and ni4882.h? In my software, I choose include "decl-32.h", but I can also choose include "ni4882.h", right?
    2) Under the path folder "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\lib32\msvc", there are two lib files "gpib-32.lib" and "ni4882.lib". Is there any
        difference for user between these two lib files?
    3) How about lib32 and lib64?
2. Is the GPIB 2.6 compatible with its former version, V1.7, V2.4, and V2.5?
3. Why did our system become much slower after we change the GPIB card from driver 1.7 to driver 2.6 in Windows XP? Even after I changed the GPIB related lib and include files?
BTW, our lab PC is Optiplex 760, Core 2 Duo Dell E7500/2.93GHz, 3M, 1066MHz, FSB, with Windows XP SP3.
Can we make the timeout to be 0? how?

Actually it is not the GPIB driver version issue, and the issue becomes:
NI GPIB card cannot work good with Dell PC with Optiplex 760, Core 2 Duo Dell E7500/2.93GHz, 3M, 1066MHz, FSB, with Windows XP SP3.
NI technical support team, please give suggestion ASAP. Thanks

Serial instr. (VISA) VI slowing down performance

Hi,
I tried to use the serial VISA Vi´s of LabVIEW 6 to install a communication
between a "Master" (PC104) and some "slave"-devices via a multi-RS-232 card
(PCM-3643). After writing a command, the master is waiting for a short
respond of the slave, indicating the execution of the command.
I´ve used the property "Termination Character" to detect the end of the
respond. I hoped to minimize the system load by this way, but I realised a
100% system workload while the VI is waiting. With portmon you can see
thousends of status calls to the port instead of few receive events. This
extra-load seemed to slow down the overall performance (and increases the
CPU temperature).
Is there a way to minimize the activities in the waiting
period, or should I
better use the old Vi´s from the Serial Compatibility palette to build my
own loop, including some additional waiting time.
I´m not a very experienced labview programmer (nor a programmer at all).
Thank you
Hans-Joachim

Hi Hans-Joachim,
I like your comment about "and increase the CPU temperature".
Make sure you get a copy of the latest and greatest version of NI-VISA.
A while back they fixed an issue where NI-VISA ate up all of the CPU. This sounds similar to what you mentioned.
The suggestion regarding checking the number of bytes at the port first is always good advice.

HP Envy 15-j075nr - Issues with gaming performance (slow-motion gaming)

SPECS:
Display: 15.6" diagonal HD BrightView LED-backlit display (1366 x 768)
Memory: 8GB installed memory
Hard drive: 750GB 5400RPM hard drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
Processor: AMD Elite Quad-Core A10-5750M Accelerated Processor
Operating system:Windows 8
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 8650G graphics with up to 4204MB total graphics memory
Running on the exact specs above, I'm playing games via Steam (Tomb Raider, Saints Row IV, Dishonored, etc) and have had to compromise video/display quality settings just to get the games to play correctly. Most games have an auto-detect feature for display and audio settings and in each instance the games are set to Ultra or High settings. But when I begin to the play the games with the default settings that games are extremely slow, though the graphics look great.
Given the specs above and the fact that the games auto detect at the highest or near to the highest settings, might I have an issue with my current system settings that I could tweak in order to get a higher quality gaming experience? I feel like these settings are definitely good enough to get at least HIGH display quality, but that has yet to work.

Hi @trickster878
I understand you are having performance issues with games on your notebook computer, but really notebook computers for the most part are not intended to be gaming machines. Their design focus is more to be light weight and portable while also providing the ability to run for two hours or more without a power connection when fully charged.
Many of the things that make for a good gaming machine are sacrificed in a notebook. All that being said, it is possible to play many games on notebooks, but rarely as well as it would work on a desktop computer.
It is likely that you can tweak the settings to get a compromise that is more playable, but it is often a robbing Peter to pay Paul situation. Something may have to be sacrificed.
You can take a look at these pages and see if anything helps.
Computer Locks Up or Freezes When Playing a Game
HP PCs - Improving System Performance without Adding Memory (Windows 8)
Otherwise, you would probably need to look at the video settings in each of the games you are trying to play. The settings will need to be customized for each of them, and you may have to look at the pages/forums for the individual game to see which setting may have to be changed internal to that game.

SLOW PERFORMANCE OF SHARED VARIABLES

Hello,
We have developed application in LabVIEW 8.6.1 for testing mechanical equipments using cRIO 9074 (Real Time controller).
In this application we have used shared variables (Network published) for communications between Real Time controller and Host PC. All shared variables are deployed on Host PC.
Now we want to access the same application(Host PC application) from Tablet PC through wi-fi connectivity.
We have created two seperate .exe to run the application on Host PC and Tablet PC.Shrared variable response for Host PC .exe with RT controller is good,but when we run Tablet PC .exe then response is sluggish(slow).
In this case we create shared variables on Host PC (Network published) and tying to access it from Host PC and Tablet PC.
In our application,
1)Both Host and Tablet PC operate on Windows XP.
2)Programs on Host and Tablet PC are identical.
3)Both PC's are on same subnet.
Please provide appropriate help on this issue.
Thanks in advance....

New Thinkpad T430 - slow performance, poor battery life

Hi Guys,
I bought a T430 a couple of three months ago, to replace an older HP elitebook. I have really not made the transition yet because the new T430 is very much slower and the battery life worse than the elitebook, which is certainly 7 years old.
The speed issue is such that operations are very slow. The machine boots up or comes out of sleep/hibernate without any real issues, but try to open a program (excel, for instance) and it takes ages. One thing I do have on the system is an excel file which I update every few days. Generally speaking, it takes 30 seconds to get the machine to the desktop, then I can go to the bathroom whilst waiting for excel to actually start after I have double clicked the file (it rarely opens in less than a minute). I did have avast AV and I guessed it might have been the problem (it has pop-ups all over the show), so I installed it but things are no different. The problem occurs all the time, a restart doesn't suddenly give me a silky fast moving machine. This has pretty much been the case since I first started the machine.
The second issue is the battery. I changed the elitebook batter after about 5 years because it was strugging to do 2 hours. The replacement comfortably did (does) 4 hours, even after a couple of years. The new T430 barely manages 2 hours, I cannot go anywhere without a charger!
Any suggestions on what to do? The machine was bought because it has the Lenovo onsite support so the next step is going to be calling them because the operation is simply too poor for me to put the machine into use.
Many thanks

Yes I have.
Just web browsing and basically doing nothing I'm hear a lot of aduible fans, I'm getting 85C+ on GPU diode, 65+ on cpu heatsink. I since installed anohter program that shows me not just the CPU heatsink but the cores and the cores are at 90C+.
Seems like a lot of heat for doing nothing. Not only that but I have these problems with no external monitor while on battery power too.
I don't know what to do. They already replaced the logic board. Others seem to get advertised battery life out of Apple products and not have products that get **** near hot enough to burn you while just web browsing or watching a movie let alone advertised tasks like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.

Slow performance - Windows 7

it was real shock when start using this product ( Lenovo T540p ) which was expected to have high speed performance being one of latest versiones ( T540P / i7 -8GB RAM ) specialy, and sorry to say - compairing with other brand beeing using for last five years ( i5 & 4GB RAM ) but it is still perform beter and faster of the new LENOVO whic i got ...... it is highly apreciated if some one reply to this post with real solution in order to release the feiling of beeing traped with this model.
regards.

The slowness could be caused by bloatware or something similar. Did you buy the laptop direct from Lenovo or?
Clearing junk out your laptop can also improve it's performance.

Ram upgrade slower performance

i recently brought lenevo ideapad u410 ultrabook series(4gb ram,500gb HDD + 24gbSSD hard disk, i5 processer).i upgraded ram to 12gb(4*1 + 8*1).when i open my notebook its very very slow in booting( takes 5-10min) and performance is very very slow.
please help me to overcome this problem.
thank you
Regrads, sunil

hi sunilkanth and welcome to the forums.
Can you try the following::
1. Boot into the BIOS by pressing Fn+F2 or F2, when you're in, press F9 to reset BIOS to defaults and press F10 to save and exit.
2. If the problem is still there, try to remove the 4GB RAM that came with the PC and try use only the 8GB RAM that you purchased - this is to isolate if there's a conflicting latency between the two RAM modules.
Let me know your findings.
Cheers.

Curve 9360 slow performance

My blackberry is so slow at times! It just randomly freezes for like 20-30 seconds and it seems to take like 10 seconds to do anything on it. Whenever I reboot it, it will work fine for about 2/3 days but then it will start freezing again. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Thank you

try clearing the cache in browser, facebook. twitter bbmaps and any other app that has a cache, also on the home screen hold ALT and press LG LG then options clear log, should speed it up and stop it freezing. Just do this as often as you please. Also where it says your carrier, don't put your phone number, put your networks name

Slow performance to read/write shared variables programatically

We are using datasocket read and write functions to read and write shared variables programatically (in the same machine) but we only achieve a performance of aprox. 200 reads/writes per second. We are using Labview 8.6 with DSC.
Is possible to get better results? That performance is normal?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi MMCDAT,
I think this value can
be normal as you can see in this link:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5037
As you can see, the
limit for datasocket depends on your Ethernet limitations, even if you as using
it just in one PC:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/6AC9E65734E53F9A8625672400637ECC?OpenDocument
You can improve the
performance changing the update mode or Vis configurations:

T42 hangs, extremely slow performance

I have a T42 that I no longer use, but I would like to have for occasional web browsing and e-mail. It currently operates very slowly, and after maximizing memory and trying several different solutions, I would like to just wipe the machine clean and re-install the Windows XP Professional and MS Office.
Can someone recommend the easiest way to do this? I have the XP OS CD and Office s/w. What will I need to have/do re: other things like wireless and network connections (drivers?), etc., etc.
Thank you!

thank you again for your answer,
I've done that but hard drive health is also ok as you can see from the screenshot.
IAt the time of the screenshot I had just fineshed to boot up the laptop and it wasnt hot at all.
I am getting desperate here, I am unable to work with my T410s

Rundll32.exe Using High CPU on Windows 8.1
I use a Lenovo T440s laptop for my service calls and when I need to do work remotely. My laptop runs Windows 8.1 Professional. I love this laptop and it has proved to be tough as well as extremely fast. I noticed a couple weeks ago that my battery was going dead after about an hour of usage. I also noticed that my cooling fan in the laptop was running louder than normal. I decided to open Task Manger on my laptop to see what the issue was. I soon noticed that a process called rundll32.exe was using around 25 percent of my CPU. I killed the process and everything returned to normal.
A few days later, my battery was going dead very rapidly. My cooling fan was on almost constantly and was blowing warm air. I opened Task Manger and sure enough, rundll32.exe was using 25% of my CPU again. I killed the process and everything was fine. It wasn’t long and my laptop was doing the exact same thing as I described before. I decided it was time to get to the bottom of this issue. Here is how I troubleshot what program was using the rundll32.exe and in the process was killing my battery.
Step One: I downloaded Process Explorer. This is an excellent tool. It is similar to Task Manager but goes into way more depth on the processes and dlls that are running. I extracted the download and then ran Process Explorer as an administrator.
Step Two: One of the first things I noticed was rundll32.exe was using 23 percent of my CPU again.
I right-clicked on the rundll32.exe process and selected properties. I clicked on the Image tab and at once saw the culprit. A utility to monitor and gauge my battery usage, called PwrMgrBkGndMonitor, was draining my battery instead of saving it.
Step Three: After a little digging around in my installed programs I located a program called Lenovo Settings Dependency Package. PwrMgrBkGndMonitor was installed in the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package.
I didn’t use this program and decided I didn’t need it. I uninstalled the program and restarted my laptop. I haven’t had a problem with the rundll32.exe using up my CPU since I uninstalled Lenovo Settings Dependency Package.
If you are experiencing the same symptoms has stated above and you are running a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.1, this may be your issue. However, before you uninstall the program I would recommend using Process Explorer. Process Explorer will help you determine the exact program that is giving you issues before blindly uninstalling and killing services. I hope my troubleshooting steps can help you find program is making rundll32.exe use high CPU usage. Let me know in the comments if this helped you!

Cardbus slot (And therefore firewire and SD card??) performance very slow after Windows 8.1 update.

Hi All,
Just updated to Windows 8.1 64 bit from Windows 8. The Cardbus slot speed/bandwidth has dropped considerably to the point that it is now unusable since the update. It worked fine before, although I had a similar problem in the past which was cured by a BIOS update. Since the RICOH chip that controls this slot also control the Firewire and the SD Slot, I was wondering whether these are also affected?
Does anyone else have the same issue? I expect it affects all computer with this chip: T61/X61/R61 etc etc.
Would someone who is on Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8.0 64 bit mind sending me the pci.sys and pcmcia.sys files so that I can try rolling the drivers back to a previous version?
System details:
Thinkpad X61 Tablet
Core 2 Duo 1.6
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
Windows 8.1
Many thanks.

[Yoga 2 11] Wifi connection problems, slow performance, disconnections.

Hello
Terrible wifi on the Yoga 2 11. I wish I had seen all the reports about it before purchasing this laptop.
I tried installing another card, but I get the "unauthorized wifi card" error. (Card: Intel 7260HMW AC)
Is there any workaround? Any new/better wifi card that actually works? Any official message from Lenovo? I don't really know where to begin.

Help me someone!!
