Windows 7 Is Very Slow
Nov 11, 2012
I booted one of my older rigs up and it is so slow it is unusable. It takes 10 min to boot into windows and you pretty much cant do anything in windows either its so slow once you click on something it takes 5 min to actually select the icon after you click it. I had this rig running fine 5 days ago. I have tried reformatting and worked fine for a day then booted up again and same thing. I was wondering if anyone has any insight if its the OS itself or if it is issue with some of the hardware ? I was thinking possibly Hard drive but never seen or heard of this before.

I bought this Fujitsu laptop for less than a year. Its only for my school work. It takes forever to bootup, startup and it sometime hangs when I open up a program or typing.For the bootup, it takes very long time on the window logo, after that the black screen, followed by the welcome page with the loading cursor. Each of this process take a long time. For startup, its not so long but its still quite lag. For the opening up of program and typing, everytime I open up my visual studio, it will take a long time to show up and even if it showed up, it will be "not responding".So I will have to open it a second time before I can start using itWhen I am typing my codes, it will randomly hang and show that the program is not responding. I am still able to move my cursor though.

I have been using windows 7 for some years. Recently i formatted my pc since unwanted programs,bugs,viruses and junk was accumulating and i wanted a fresh start.The pc came with windows 7 64bit pre-installed and the re-seller gave me a cd along with it.After i formatted the pc(i only formatted the c: drive,i kept all the important and backed up software,drivers and any important documents in the D: drive)After going through procedures and a successful installation the windows booted and apparently it took 5-10 minutes to get to the desktop icons.Here are the things i did afterwards.

I've had windows 7 now since it's been released and my computer runs 3gb of RAM. Recently my computer has really slowed down. I have opened task manager and the CPU in idle state is over 50% used and when you click something the whole thing grinds to a halt. I have checked processes and nothing is showing, I have scanned my hard-drive for virus's and spyware and nothing.

For some reason, whenever I restart my computer, it goes into a "slow-mo mode" until a seemingly random moment in time. Usually it comes out of it's stupor after a few wake ups from hibernation.While in "slow-mo mode," all animations, actions, game-play, everything is cut in half. It's not an FPS drop, everything just plays like a video in slow motion.I've searched and searched for someone with a similar problem, but have yet to find anything related.

My computer has just slowed down to a crawl. It happened when I got home from being out of town for a few days, before I left, my computer was just fine, my computer has an AMD Athlon II 2.80 GHz, 4 CPU cores. 4 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon graphics card etc.What it is doing is, it goes through the BIOS just like it's always been, then, when it is about to start windows, it just goes to a black screen for about 30 seconds, then "Starting Windows" comes up for like 5 minutes without anything there, then after a while, the windows logo comes on top of the "Starting WIndows" and it just hangs. I also have an Ubuntu OS installed on a separate Hard drive on the computer if that helps diagnose the problem,I also tried starting Ubuntu also, same thing, slow as hell. It is a custom made computer made by me about a year and a half ago, never had any problems until just now. As I am typing this now my computer is still hanging at the "Start Windows" screen for roughly about 20 minutes.

I have win7 64bit running on intel dual core with 4 mb ram The system has been running slow for about 2 months. For example results for searches in the start menu take about 5 seconds to appear, iNDESIGN taking much too long to load up, and waiting for thumbnails to load in heavier folders.

I have Windows 7, and it's really freezing and slow. It won't even let me pull up my AV, or my Firefox. I am posting from my iPhone.I did a restore back to earlier today, and it didn't help. If I had a restore point for a few days ago, that probably would of helped. It all started yesterday. I only have one PC. I haven't been on my PC much, and when I did go on this is what I get.I have Windows 7 Home Premium, but it's the upgrade version that I bought last year. I have too much data on the PC to wipe it clean. I also don't remember where I put my Windows 7. It required to have Vista on first then upgrade.

My computer has become very slow. I'm not sure but the day after downloading a patch for WoW i started getting in-game lag. It has progressively worsen each day and now the computer is having issues out of game as well, ie. startup slow, internet slow, opening files and folders slow, video and sound lag, drivers sometimes not loading during startup, etc. I have ran MSSE and anti-maleware, updated windows and drivers.

I've had Windows 7 for over a year, but in the past month it has taken me forever to load a webpage. Also, if I had only Winamp running and playing songs, it would stop in the middle of the song, and then resume playing after a while, and then it would do the same after a while, acting weird. Or if I watched a movie, it would freeze all of a sudden, and then resume itself after some time. So, here's what I've done. I bought more RAM, so that I have 8 gb now. I've uninstall some programs I don't use.I regularly remove broken shortcuts, clean registry, defragment it, etc. I've disabled transparency option in control panel, under window color.

I am trying to install a program on my windows 7 home premium, and after using the installer, nothing happens for a long time. This has happened before, and sometimes the installer starts after a few minutes, but sometimes it takes over an hour, and often i have to just shut it down, because i can't wait for it. Does anyone know about this problem, and a solution for it? In the Joblist, under processes, it is called SETUP.EXE*32, and looks inactive.

I have a PC running windows 7 ultimate edition. 4.0 GB RAM, AMD Athlon2 X2 processor at 2.9GHz.This PC was always lightning fast with everything, and now its slower than dirt with everything from opening files to opening pages on the web. I don't know whats happened to it. I update and use Malwarebytes on a daily basis with never an infection, and use AVG antivirus with no instances of virus.I'm hoping someone can get me on the right track here. I was having issues a year ago and you guys nailed the problem, so I'm back hoping for more of the same

I have Win 7 Enterprise x64 installed for few months, and it started to clog up. When I start it up, after wallpaper shows up, hard drive starts to grind like I'm defragmenting it, and it keeps doing it for half a minute.If I try to start up firefox during those initial seconds, it works slow, and so do other programs. I have 15+ GB free on my main C drive. I thought about clean install but the pain of reinstalling the programs and settings makes me cringe so I would like to try to clean the computer up.What programs do you recommend for the job? I can check for viruses and malware with Security Essentials, are there other programs that could possibly check if I have too much startup programs, and somehow optimize Windows back?

The BSOD happened after i tried connecting my webcam to my PC and since the computer restarted my computer has been extremely slow.
The programs hang and do not respond, folders don't open instantly anymore, copying files takes 10 minutes when once it took less than a minute.Everything from web browsing to opening simple music files takes much longer and programs hang until they resolve themselves.I formatted my C Drive but that didn't seem to fix the problem.Here is an example of explorer.exe hanging. The folders are unclickable for a few minutes.[URL]

I like using Win 7 libraries, but these libraries are kind of slow. I don't know why but if I open a folder directly from the explorer, the files in that folder appears faster in the window than if I open the library including that folder. For example, if I open E:music, the files in the folder instantly appear in the window. But if I open Win 7 music library, the files in E:music doesn't appear in the window for about 10 seconds, as if it's looking for what files are in that folder, and then they appear. Is there a problem or is it the way the libraries are?

I installed Windows 64 with 4gb of ram and everything works fine, but when I tried to install 4 more gb of ram the system boots very slow or hangs. The bios is updated and the 8gb appears to be working fine in the bios. Something else I notice is that if I boot in the "SAFEMODE" the system will hang at 'CLASSPNP.SYS" Nevertheless when I remove the extra Ram all these symptoms will go away. Additionally I have tried switching the ram to make sure I didn't have any bad ram chips, but it doesn't matter which set of ram chips I use as long as I don't go over 4 gb.
I have checked around and several including Microsoft insist that I need to go into the BIOS and enable the "memory remapping" feature, but I can't find this setting anywhere in the BIOS.
In summary
DG35EC will work great with 4 gigs, but if I add another 4 gb the system runs very slow. I do want to note that I do have two different brands: 4gb 6400 Samsong + 4gb 6400 Hynix.

recently I had 4GBs of RAM, and will, but for now I have it in my WHS because the 2011 release requires 2GBs of RAM.But I'm very angry with the performance decrease. It's always been this way though. It always has this stupid performance decrease, and lowering my RAM triggered it and that angers me.My computer takes about 10 minutes before anything will start loading... I've down new installs, used different HDDs, different motherboards, etc. Why! Why does a computer with a Core 2 Quad and 4GBs of RAM (usually it has that) respond slowly.Is it because my RAM is only DDR2 667? Does Windows 7 not work well with DDR2 667? My CPU isn't the issue, task manager shows the PC basically doing nothing on boot-up. And then out of nowhere, Windows Live Messenger and Lync start, and IE9 opens when I clicked it 5 minutes prior to it opening.I really want this XPS 420 to behave better starting up...it has a Q6600 and it's a relatively new install of Windows 7.it's a hardware issue, not a software issue.Also the GPU is good too, ATI Radeon HD 5500 series. Well, new, not hardcore specs, but definitely Windows 7 compatible and DX11-capable. I don't know...

I just got a new Dell Inspiron ONE 2320 with Windows 7 and it is unbelievably slow! I has XP on my old computer and never had these issues. Google Chrome takes forever, IE9 is much worse and just getting into My Documents takes a long time as well. I checked for performance issues in the control panel and it came back saying that my computer is set up to run programs at Startup that may cause delays. The problem is that I don't know which programs can be disabled at startup.I also checked the memory and it says its at 2.86 GB. That seems high for a new computer, doesn't it? The physical memory also says it has about 2900 mb in use. I just don't understand that.I'll do my best to describe the computer. The computer is a Dell Inspiron ONE 2320 and the Processor is an Intel Core i3-2100 CPU @3.10GHz 3.10GHz. RAM is 4.00 GB. It's a 64 bit operating system.
Here are the programs I have running on the startup tab on the system configuration:
Webcam Central
stage_primary
Roxio Burn
Realtek HD Audio Manager
PowerReg
notes_startup_widget
[code]...

My windows 7 ultimate x64 was running perfectly well and fast until my Powercool 80 plus 7500W PSU burst (died) i then got a replacement Crosair CX600 600W. I installed the new PSU then power up my PC, It is then when i discovered it takes forever Windows to boot up, and mostly it does not boot up at all.I am suspecting some sort of Hardware damage caused by PSU burst.Checked my RAM on different PC works fine.Checked my Graphic Card on different PC works fine.
