When I connect my external hdd, it tells me that this device could work faster if I connect it to a Hi-Speed USB port. When I try to copy any files, transfer starts at about 70mb/s and stops after a few seconds, time left is calculating and when it starts again the speed is about 1.5mb/s. Sometimes pc doesn't find the hdd at all. I've installed the latest chipset drivers but nothing new happened.
My desktop appears to be running on speed!I switched it on, and that startup screen with the four coloured windows logo, is flashing like mad. The next screen I get is the password screen. On here, the cursor is spinning like mad. When I try to enter the password, pressing the first letter fills the input box with characters. I don't know whether this is the character I have just entered, although I guess it is. If I try to delete the characters, pressing backspace deletes all characters in the input box. Pressing the first character goes through it all agaiin.I now have a desktop that I can't get into because of this. Nothing new has been added...software or hardware. Everything has functioned as normal prior to this.
'm a 3D artist, and I'm currently rendering out a whole load of frames. I'm using a reasonable, Sony Vaio laptop for the task, which has an Intel i7-720QM, however I'd like to know what CPU speed it's currently operating at.I know that it says it runs at 1.6Ghz as standard but then can ramp up to 2.8Ghz, I just wondered if it truly was going at that speed whilst it's rendering.
I decided to upgrade my pc by adding a new kingston 2G DDR3 1033 kit .. I Bought it and placed it in the same slot color with the old one (kingston 2g DDR3 1033) .. when i turned on the pc it just gave a black screen without any beeps .. i removed the new one, it worked well .. i changed the clock freq. from the bios from AUTO To 667 and 553 and aslo they didnt work .. BUT when i changed the freq. to 400 .. the new kit worked well with the old one
This is my pc spes. without the new ram installed With the 2 rams installed it Reads 400 MHZ What should i do ?! Is the New kit is bad ?
Note the old one Model is KVR1333D3N9/2G and the new one is KVR1333D3S8N9/2G
Yesterday I installed RC1 of Windows 7 on my HP 6910p. After install I immediately noticed that the notebook makes much more fan noise then under Windows XP.
The fan seems to be running constantly and whenever I seem to do something a bit graphical it goes at full speed.
Are there any other (HP 6910p) users that have the same experience?
Is there something I can do / tweak to make my notebook quite again.
I have already disabled the superfetch however this only reduces the HDD activity.
I just want to be able to increase the speed of my fans beyond their spec, and have complete manual control over their RPMs without a care about the temps. I have a liquid cooling setup and the fans on my radiator as they are right now simply aren't cutting it. I have them hooked up to the motherboard in hopes of finding something to just boost their speed via software, but SpeedFan is the only thing I could find and it simply sucks for that purpose.
ive been getting BSODs and finally figured out how to debug it with WinDbg (x86) and set the symbols for windows but i cant read the text. ive tried reinstalling my GPU and Java but no luck. when i try to run intel driver update utility as soon as i run it i get a BSOD ive got the minidump here if anyone knows how to read it, so here you go.

I'm just installed windows 7 on my 2009 imac through bootcamp. However there are some problems. Ive noticed when i try to play something on windows media player it will tell me that my computer is running low on memory and to close some windows. Also games run poorly if at all. I suspect its a driver issue but have gone through all the auto updates etc.
As I shutdown/restart my laptop, I notice it switches to a secondary desktop that has been running programs.A good example would be trying to open my Task Manager, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will allow me to open Task Manager - however when I click on Task Manager, it opens on the Desktop running in the background. I can't even access the Desktop in the background, it only shows up as I'm shutting down - closing programs that I tried opening awhile ago.
I just bought a usb 3.0 pci-express card and a western digital 2TB usb 3.0 my book external hard drive. i hooked up the pci-card and the drive, but i'm not getting any speed boost. After reading through many posts, I downloaded HD Tune to check speeds. I have my 3.0 WD hard drive and my 2.0 seagate drive both plugged into the 3.0 pci-express card.
WD 3.0 drive average transfer rate = 36MB/s seagate 2.0 drive average transfer rate = 36MB/s my internal hard drive average transfer rate = 69MB/s
The pci-e card is showing up as usb 3.0 is device manager..why I'm not getting any speed boost with my new card and hard drive?
I'm looking at getting a new graphics card. I have set a budget of about $250 US. And I like nVidia.So that puts me in the GTX660 class of cards, pretty much.Now for that budget I see there are cards that have more VRAM - 3GB vs 2GB,or they have a slightly faster GPU speed and a faster shader clock. All the other specs remain the same for all cards in this class. But to get both it looks like I need to bump up to the Ti version and a $280+ budget.What do you think is the best bang for the buck? How important is any of this - or is it just splitting hairs?My primary application is CAD work using AutoCAD.
When ever I'm transferring something or if hdd is being use by another program. I can't do any else.. It drops the Speed bad. I have a Fresh copy of windows 7 Ultimate.My Hdd is a seagate 1tb 7200rpm
I use IBT (Intel Burn Test) to test my stability and when I disable HT I get a speed reading of 55 GFlops and each test takes 139 seconds on very high stress level, so I tought to myself hey why don't I activate HT again because I have it so why not use it, started IBT and it shows me a speed of 46 GFlops and it takes 161 seconds for each test how is this possible, Should not HT increase the calculation speed of the computer?
So I want to use MSConfig on the Selective Startup with Load System Services checked but when I do that it disables an internet connection. I was wondering what to load under either Services or Startup tabs to enable internet in Selective Startup Mode
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. Recently I face a problem with its speed. I need to setup windows 7 every 10-15 days later. The reason is, the speed of my computer is become slow day by day. My computer is antivirus protected so I guess it is not a problem of virus.
Currently I have a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, and 1GB of ram. Crucial say the max my netbook can have is 2GB, will this speed up my PC lots, or would I need a different processor.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate(overkill), which runs surprisingly fast with aero and all effects on, but it would be nice to play a few games that currently lag.
I currently have speed fan but what ever i do i cant adjust the speed of my fans with it. I have read various guides online with no joy so i think its time to try something else if there is anything.
Got a small question about CCC (catalyst control center). I read some posts around the interwebz. When you have fan speed set on auto the speed dos not go over 35 or 40% speed?
When i had it on auto i never hear the fan kick, never did i see the speed going up in CCC.
I have noticed that some times my internet connection can get a download speed of 5mb/s for some time (from minutes to some hours) and then drop at 500kb/s-both wireless and lan.The speed might rise/fall at random points but it is also somehow related to me disconnecting and then reconnecting to the internet.Most of the time I will have the low speed unfortunately.
