Computer Slows Down While Transferring Files?
May 5, 2011When I do a large file transfer or multiple file transfers my computer gets extremely slow during the process. Slow meaning that to open the web browser it struggles and while typing search terms in google there is lag. That's just one example, other's being opening programs.Last night I reformatted my computer because I thought maybe it had something to do with it. But no luck because after the clean install was complete I transferred about 600gb back on the computer and during this process tried to view the properties xpadder (Right click-> Properties) and the entire system froze. A hard reset and I started the process all over again, tried watching tv using windows media center and it worked but flipping through channels was extremely slow and it is not usually.

I think my hardware is more than capable:
Windows 7 x64
8gb of Ram
1tb WD Caviar Black
ATI Radeon 4890
Gigabye P55-UD6 rev1.0
Enermax Modu 82+
Corsair H50
Some background info:
I originally had my computer overclocked but after a Bios upgrade I couldn't get the same results so It is currently stock speed. Computer is only a year old. Running temps are around 40-45C. Harddrive temps are normal (40-48C). I have completed a full check disk and monitor the harddrive with CrystalDisk Info (SMART Utility) and it seems 100%.
Windows 7 Computer Lags When Transferring Large Files Over Network?
Feb 4, 2013I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate with a 6-core AMD processor, 16GB RAM, SSD as primary. Whenever I transfer a large file over the network to another system the mouse and other applications will persistently hang for a second here and there as long as the transfer is in progress. I'm sending 8-10GB files over from the secondary 2TB 5400RPM drive and no resources are showing as maxed out so I don't get it. I'm thinking of trying a 3rd party file transfer solution again, but this still shouldn't be happening with the default.

View 9 Replies View RelatedComputer Slows Way Down/videos Freeze Up?
Jun 21, 2012I bought the laptop used about a month ago and everything seemed fine. A few days later I noticed that the fan was running a lot, so I read a tutorial online and used a can of compressed air to clean out/off any dust and such. Right away the fan/computer was much quieter. My situation now is that whenever I watch a video (Netflix, HULU or even something stored on my HD), within a minute or two the video freezes/locks up or sound and video are lagging quite a bit. I have no indications of malware/virus and it seems everything else is mostly fine with the computer. I did the Windows troubleshooting and it recommended lowering resolution and turning off Windows Transparency. I haven't done either because I wanted to ask for help before I start changing settings. I installed Core Temp. 1.0 about an hour ago and both Core's are running between 72-76 deg C with a Tj.Max of 85*C.
View 8 Replies View RelatedComputer Slows Down After Opening A Few Programs?
Oct 17, 2012This problem just started one day with no warning. I found that the computer starts up perfectly fine, loads Windows 7, and logs me in. but, after that, everything is suddenly incredibly slow, with the start menu taking minutes to open and certain programs even taking tens of minutes to open. It will occasionally freeze and become non-responsive. So I booted into safe mode, where at first it seemed to be doing relatively fine, but after opening a couple programs/files, it slowed down dramatically again.
I've run quick scans from Avast, MBAM, and SAS with no result. At first I thought it was hard drive failure, but that doesn't explain why at first the computer loads up fine. I then thought maybe it's memory failing, so I used the memory diagnostic tool, using 2 passes. It went through the first pass without problem, but I never saw it complete the second pass because when I came back, the computer had restarted with an error message and leaving a minidump file.
The computer is a Toshiba Satellite P755-S5269. I've had it for over a year without problem.
Computer Slows Down When Playing ANY Video File?
Aug 28, 2011i have been having a persistent issue that i can't seem to fix. it started when i would watch a video on Internet; any video! i would start to watch a video and within a few minutes, it would start to stick and playback would slow down on the video and anything else i would be doing on my computer, and then even the audio would be filled with static (as if it were a radio station). i was always able to "x" out of Internet, but then i realized any video i watch anyway on the internet would do the same thing, (if it played long enough). sometimes i was able to play a whole video without this issue, but now, it is becoming persistent. sometimes this problem would start a minute after the video commences, other times, it would start 10 minutes later, or 30 minutes later. at this point i have not been able to watch any video file from any site on the www. have run scan after scan, and system says nothing is wrong. last night, i resorted just to listening to audio files (on wmp) and now it is acting up too! (sounds like i have 'bad reception on my music files all of a sudden). i ran the microsoft fixit program last night, and it suggests i should delete some codecs
View 6 Replies View RelatedComputer Slows Down For 1-5 Mins About 5-20mins After Start Up
Oct 24, 2012My computer, about 5-20 minutes after start up, slows down so much that I can hardly do anything for 5 minutes. I either A) wait it out till my computer goes back to running normally (takes 1-5 minutes) or hold my off button and restart (or actually shut down the normal way but it takes forever) but upon restarting the same thing happens again.I have no idea whats causing this. When its happening I check my CPU usage and its nothing unusual (0-30%). I have scanned with Malwarebytes (nothing), Microsoft Security Essentials (nothing), and Superantispyware (deleted a few adware cookies). Besides this slow down period, I see no other symptoms of malware. The only weird thing is for some reason I always get PC Issue in the bottom right hand corner that says Windows Defender/MSE is off, and asks me to turn one of them on, but I already have MSE running. I click the issue and tell it to turn on and update MSE, after which it stops bugging me but it comes back at least sometimes after I restart.The computer: a 2-3 year old dell laptop, been dropped a couple times but I've never had that cause problems before, windows 7.
View 4 Replies View RelatedComputer Slows Down After A Couple Of Hours Of Use: No More Info
Jan 22, 2013This has been baffling me for at least a month now, my PC will randomly start to slow down after a few hours (2-4) of being used. This began to happen randomly and after no new software or updates where installed.So far I have tried to take off all my overclocks, run a CPU test for 24hours (stable) and all the defrags and disk cleanups that I could be bothered to run. Worst thing is this started happening a day before I was going to make a restore point.All my system info is on my profile.
EDIT: I forgot to mention where the slowdowns occur, they include programs taking a good 5 seconds to open and more confusingly sites take a good 30-40 seconds to load when shortly after boot it takes less than a second.I have checked my network usage and system resource usage and both are within their normal ranges.

Nov 23, 2011Past couple of months my computer has been slowing down/lagging. It seems to happen when I am streaming, sometimes it happens when I run a game. What it does is the screen completely freezes and the sound is like slowing down to make the voices/music incomprehensible. Sometimes it will recover and run normally again. Other times it will slow then completely stop working, in which time I have to hard shutdown the computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both of my browsers, chrome and firefox. (And when I say uninstall I mean I did a complete wipe of all registry items and anything related to the programs). That seemed to work for about a month and then today my computer lagged then stopped working.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPreviously Got BSOD, No Longer Happens However Computer Randomly Slows
Dec 22, 2011Basically, my problem is that randomly next to EVERYTHING will stop responding for about five minutes, except the lower profile applications such as teamspeak and mIRC, and its been happening since july. Then, it will work again for a bit and then it will happen again. I got windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
When it first started, it would freeze so bad that it would BSOD, but that has not happened recently, however sometimes even TS and mIRC won't respond, and you can't open any new programs up while its in this cycle plus 99% of the time explorer.exe stops responding as well. We think the problem started happening when we did the windows updates, we didn't do all of them but we did the majority of them at that time, but it may of just been a coincidence. It will happen basically no matter what i got open, if its just Fire Fox or if i got FireFox, WoW, Diablo 2, TS, mIRC all open.
I just recently upgraded to service pack 1, and the problem still occurs. I've ran CCleaner, malwarebyes, anti virus, and all came up with little to no malicious activity
Physical Memory Suddenly Fills Up, Computer Slows Down?
May 1, 2012My HP desktop suddely slowed down for no reason -- to a "snail's pace" -- and I opened windows task manager and saw that the memory was 99% full. Restarting solves it for a few minutes, then it happens again. I've run Anti-virus (Avira says I have "multiple hidden files") -- and I need another program to fix that. It's been running Ok for a few hours, but I'm sure it will happen again.

Jul 21, 2012Just about every time I try to permanently delete a large file or folder, either by shift/delete or emptying the recycle bin the operation hangs up.The little window opens and it counts up the size of the file and that it. Nothing else overtly happens. The status bar never starts indicating and the window just sits there with the little green lights chasing each other across it. If I try to cancel or close the window it nothing happens.During the time all this is going on, I can hit ctrl/alt/del and select Task Manager and it simply goes back to the desktop with this window still squatting there doing it's thing. I have pinned TM to the task bar and tried starting it from there but it never starts. Eventually everything just slows to a stop and nothing works which would seem to indicate some kind of memory leak. There are no error messages during any of this.I have to hit reset and restart the computer that way in order to regain control and we all know how bad an idea this is. I've already had my boot sector eaten once causing me to have to do a total rebuild and I'd prefer not to have to do it again.

Can No Longer Upload Large Files
Oct 7, 2012I usually send clients large images around 4Mb via the email. I also upload to various sites, files up to 15Mb. They are all usually jpeg or .psd format.
For some reason it just doesn't work anymore - they get so far and seem to just hang. I contacted my ISP provider and they went through all their trouble shooter but told me that the problem is my end.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit. I have tried IE9 and Google Chrome but neither helps. I use Microsoft Security Essential. I have tried turning off the firewall but this doesn't work either.
Smaller versions of the jpegs seem to upload OK. I haven't done anything to change what I am using recently other than to run the automatic updates.
I have internet satellite using an ipstar modem. No router.

View 9 Replies View RelatedDeleting Large Number Of Files Very Slow
Apr 17, 2012I run a software tool that often generates 75,000 - 100,000 small files that need to be deleted after the software exits. Right now, it can take 8 - 10 minutes to permanently delete all these files from a single run, and I usually have 4 - 8 runs to deal with, so do the math. I have tried shift-del to permanently delete but it doesn't work - Windows still copies everything to the recycle bin. Also, while moving the files to the recycle bin, I often get an error message: "Error 0x80070050: The file exists." Bottom line is that it takes a *really* long time just to delete these files and I need a quicker way to do it.
