USB 3 and Windows 8 very slow

Greetings.
I'm new on this forum allthough I have had this mobo about ½ year, but when I tried to get Windows 8 Pro upand running I ran into troubble.
Intel Rapid Start don't work in Win8, worked really good in Win7
Can't switch "Windows 8" feature on in BIOS (have read here, that I'm not the only one with that problem)
But my biggest complain is the performance of USB3. I use it for backup, and it is very slow compared to Windows 7. I can't find any USB3 driver on MSI's download. I know ASUS has made an "USB3 BOOST" but I don't know what it is, or if it is helping. Windows 8 has native driversupport for USB3, but it is only to get it to basic work, much much slower than the same USB3 port in Windows 7. Does anyboby know how to raise the USB3 speed?
Sorry for my English. As I'm danish, English is not my first language, but I hope you get the meaning of this 

Could well be a driver issue as you mentioned. MSI doesn't make the drivers, they are supplied new ones by the vendor of the hardware. Normally they are tested by the MSI engineers first, certified to be good, and then released on their webite for download. The growing pains of 'Vista' 8 (sarcasm) continue!

  • Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow

    i am using mac os x lion 10.7
    problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
    Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really 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, and you can then copy it.
    If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    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. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    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 your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
    Please note:
    ☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
    ☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
    ☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

  • Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

    Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Thanks for the answer.
    I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
    I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
    Thanks again.

    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

    Did you do a clean reinstall and deleted the Firefox program folder?

    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.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Videos skip and are very slow when I play them in anything other than fulls

    When I try to play a video it is ok when it is in the small box in the corner but when i double click and get the video larger it skips alot and play very slow, but when I make the video full screen it play normally. How can I play the video in the mid size box in the right way.

    I'm having the same problem (iTunes 11.02!) .
    I think this one isn't resolved because it IS rare: I've had iTunes on about 7 different machines (Mac and PC) since it begain (2001). In fact I maintain the same library without issues for over 10 years. Anyway this is the first time it's occurred (in my case it's happened on a pretty recent Mac Laptop). But as you may have discovered, google/bing searches for similar problems yeild VERY few results.
    A guy at the Apple store was able to temporarily fix by doing some low level cache removal, that may give a glimpse to the reason, but is not a permanent fix.
    I'm going to try a few things will report back if I have any luck**.
    ***If anyone else want to give it a try: Before starting bookmark the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391 this describes the location and purpose of most of the iTunes library files. And, any apple support docs on creating a  new iTunes library... I'm unwilling to try the let iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized " cause I have my own organization method.

  • SB Live ! 24 bit external USB and windows seven blue screen

    ;SB Li've ! 24 bit external USB and windows seven blue screen+ hi! i have installed windows seven 64 bit build 7600 RTM on my PC and i wanted to install also my USB sound card which is SB Li've ! 24 bit and i downloaded the beta drivers from creative. instalation was really fast and smooth but at the end i've got a message that the program has stopped to response and i have closed it. i did a system reboot and i have seen that the sound card has been installes succesfull and also the control panel. Sound was clear and really nice, all worked fine but sometimes im getting a blue screen on my windows with a code STOP 0x000000E and then a file named usbuhc.sys was the problem. i think that the sound card is the thing that is doing the blue screen becouse i have only a keyboard, mouse and the sound card SB Li've ! installed as USB.
    Is it normal that i have those troubles on my PC ? is it my sound card my windows seven problem ? what should i do now ?
    at the moment i have turned off the sound card so i will see if i get a blue screen or not.
    thanks for any reply

    ? yes, i have also tried to download the beta drivers again and re-install them but i have still the same problem :/ it happens in a different time, sometimes after hour or sometimes after 0 hours when my computer is turned on. my system is mostly turned on becouse im downloading some stuff so it is running all the day, sometimes im surfing websites but its nothing special. I really dont know what to do :/@83.30.93.77

  • VNC connection to an iMac running Lion from Windows - very slow

    Before switching from Snow Leopard to Lion I used Vineserver on my Mac to access it using VNC. VIneserver does not work in Lion, so I decided to try the built-in server (screen sharing)
    After multiple atttempts and tweeks I managed to connect to the Mac using TightVNC on my windows machine, however, it is a very slow process. After connecting, I get a strange looking gray screen, with 2 fields asking for my userID and password. The response from the Mac is extremely slow, and sometimes it freezes up all together. If and when I get through that first screen, and I finally see my desktop, things speed up a little, but it doesn't come close the speeds I achieved with Vineserver. The new login screen is what makes it almost not usable though. Does anyone have a similar experience - or a solution?

    This issue is caused by a difference in the way Lion handles screen logins.
    You must change the way you log in so that the client uses Mac OS X sign, on the Mac OS X user and Mac OS X password and not a VNC password.
    On the Lion machine that is acting as the server to remote to, have screen sharing on but untick the two boxes in the Computer Settings area as shown in this screenshot:-
    This set up works well with my Lion Mac using Mocha VNC iOS client and gives a very usable response across the internet from my iPhone 4.
    Before I made these changes I could barely log in.

  • E3200 USB storage - transfer very slow

    Hello
    The E3200 transfer rate I get is approximately 2.5MB/s , 
    That seems very slow, especially with the n configuration, the USB3 hard drive I attached
    Is there a way to improve this?
    P.S..
    I'm using the latest firmware 10.0.03 (build 9)
    Thanks

    Sorry, but what you write is inconsistent and confusing.
    First you wrote 2.5 MB/s and 6 MB/s which means megabyte per second (which is the rate you usually see in Windows Explorer). That translate into 2.5*8 = 20 Mbit/s or 20 Mbps which is megabit per second. There is no "spare" and no "overhead" in this calculation. Transfer rates only count the contents bytes transferred and don't include overhead or anything else.
    It's a fact that with a wireless connection rate of 54 Mbit/s you can expect transfer rates of approx. 20-25 Mbit/s.
    I suggest you look at it again:
    1. What is the connection rate shown for your wireless connection?
    2. When transferring files, what is the exact rate shown?
    Because I am pretty sure if you carefully look at the units of those rates you'll see exactly what I have posted before:
    with wired you get transfer rates of approx. 6-7 megabytes (MB) per second i.e. 48-64 megabit per second (mbps).
    with a wireless 54 Mbit/s connection you'll see about 2.5-3 megabytes (MB) per second, i.e. 20-24 megabit per second (mbps) because that's the maximum transfer rate to be expected on a 54 Mbit/s link.
    If you had really wired transfers with a rate of 5.4 Mbps, i.e. 5.4 megabit per second that would be very bad in any respect.

  • Mountain Lion and Lion very slow on Macbook 13' 2010 Middle

    The problem is the Mountain Lion and Lion very very slow, but Snow Leopard was fast.
    The Lion bit faster, the Mountain Lion is much slower.
    Animations are choppy and slow, but sometimes fast, but mostly random stuttering. If i have multiple windows opened, the Misson Control is very slow and useless. I think the system UI framerate is low (about 10-15 FPS)
    Overall, the system response is very slow, and lagging.
    I tried to clean dinstall several times, but this didn't help me.
    I know that the new system is slower on older machines, but it would not be so necessary. This Machine is good machine, and i think this is enought for Mountain Lion. Will Apple fix this slow issue soon (maybe 10.8.3), or stay in this state?
    At current state of the system is unusable due to the slowness.
    Or is it a non official solution to fix this?
    Thanks for your answers.

    How much RAM do you have installed? 4 GB RAM is generally recommended as a reasonable minimum since kernel_task (part of system) consumes up to 1 GB; my browser consumes another 500 MB or so. So, if you like to multi-task and have several things open, then you will need to increase your RAM. This problem will not be fixed; I sent in a bug report and the reply was that this is how it is intended - 64 bit addressing consumes far more resources than 32 bit (Snow Leopard).
    You'll need to look at your processes in Activity Monitor, quit some apps while working on others that are CPU intensive, and increase the RAM if possible.

  • Safari and Gmail very slow

    This may be a sign of Google releasing that BUZZ thing, but I have noticed gmail to very slow with Safari. Getting a lot of "still working" messages. I have BUZZ turned off. But I am assuming that BUZZ might be dragging their network down with high traffic.
    Of course, I have reset safari, etc..
    Message was edited by: powerbook1701

    HI,
    Gmail and Safari issues
    According to Google, "Gmail users with Safari version 4.0.4 might encounter issues loading Gmail and other issues". This link has more info: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs
    Also, try Safari maintenance..
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. **To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Repair disk permissions..
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Make sure the there's enough free disk space. Not enough will slow the drive down. 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 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

  • External USB HD is very slow during SuperDuper backup

    I am using an external USB harddisk to backup my iMac. I have formated the disk with a Mac OS X file system and it mounts without any fault.
    I am using SuperDuper to copy all my files from my internal to the external harddisk. The throughout I get is something between 11-13 MB/s. This is very slow for USB spec that could be up to 40-50 MB/s.
    Anybody has any idea what's going on here how i can improve this speed?

    Hi aschmid,
    the reported throughput of SuperDuper is largely depending on what files are backuped.
    Large files usually backup faster than smaller ones.
    Just for comparison, backup of approx. 48GB system volume :
    MacPro - internal disc to internal disc = about 18 minutes
    MacPro - internal to external FireWire 800 = about 25 minutes
    iMac - internal to external FireWire400 = about 55 minutes
    (The duration are rough, coming from my memory).
    Regards

  • Accessing Postgres from Oracle using DG4ODBC and psqlodbc very slow

    I have set up DG4ODBC on a Windows 2003 32-bit 11g Oracle database to access a Windows 2008 64-bit 9.1 Postgres database, using the psqlodbc driver (32-bit).
    I am able to issue queries, but they are very slow. The reason is that the where clause of the query is being removed somewhere along the line (I have seen the actual queries run by Postgres using pgAdmin server status screen), and all the rows in the table are retrieved from Postgres. Naturally with tables bigger than a few rows that means doing a full table scan in Postgres, as well as transferring lots of bytes through the network.
    For instance, if I query from Oracle like this: select * from "dps_user"@pg where "id" = '2423', the sql run at Postgres is this: select * from dps_user, which retrieves all rows on the table! When I get the query result in Oracle, I only get the row with id 2423, so I assume that Oracle gets the whole table, and does the filtering at its end.
    In a 32-bit Windows XP separate machine I have set up the same psqlodbc driver, and I have run the same query using Microsoft Query. In this case, the query run in Postgres contains the where clause, and therefore it is much faster because a unique index scan is performed in Postgres, and only one row is transferred back to Microsoft Query.
    Could you help me, please?
    Thanks a lot,
    Carlos

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks a lot for your help. The gateway version must be 11.2.0.3 since the Oracle database has patchset 11.2.0.3 applied.
    This is the ini file once I changed the trace level:
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = pg
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 255
    I tried this query:
    select *
    from dps_user
    where id = 'W106606';
    Where dps_user is a view on the Oracle database which translates to this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW dps_user (ID,
    login,
    first_name,
    last_name,
    lastactivity_date,
    registration_date,
    email,
    email_status,
    receive_email
    AS
    SELECT "id", "login", "first_name", "last_name", "lastactivity_date",
    "registration_date", "email", "email_status", "receive_email"
    FROM "dynamo_web"."dps_user"@pg.es.lladro.com;
    The generated trace file is:

    (I have clipped it because it is huge, since all rows from the table are brought into Oracle. In fact, the query did not finish yet because the process dg4odbc.exe is busy writing the trace file, I may have to kill it ).

  • 0404 USB and Windows 7

    Hi, I'm having the same problem as many others with the EMU 0404 USB, with the sound becoming very distorted (like its being played at a very low bit rate) after a few minutes of use in Windows 7. I have now had to disable the card and use the motherboard sound instead. This $200 box is completely unusable.
    If I reset the sample rate in the Audio Control Panel to something else and then back again, it fixes the problem for a couple of minutes, but the horrible distortion always comes back.
    I'd like to know if this problem is being worked on or not, otherwise I am going to return this thing and get something else.

    You didn't mention in which type PC/laptop are you using your audio interface (couple years old ... brand new).
    BTW, I had this type issue with my old P4/2.66GHz PC after installing W7, because of, I had that new visual feature turned on. By turning it off and setting the system for performance helped a bit but, as the GPU wasn't very good at all (scored 1.0 in W7 test), issue rised it's head when doin' other tasks while playback.
    Now with then new PC this isn't an issue anymore.
    0404 USB is also very sensible for high priority processes running in background and also it doesn't like WiFi at all.
    You could check your system capability for to stream audio/video. There's an utility called DPC Latency Checker which may be helpful in this task.
