Hello;
I have a 4 years old Toshiba Satellite A15 running extremely slow (2.4GHZ,
256MB). Therefore I formatted the hard disk and found formatting is very slow
too. When it predicted 10-20hours to finish the formatting, I powered off and
restarted formatting. Once it predicted to finish the formatting in 1hour, I
let it go on and finished in 2hours. Normal formatting should be less than
1hour.
After formatting, setting is slow too. It takes 10-20seconds to response to a
click of ?next?.
Finally, the system is up. There is no any error. All programs work, just
slow. It takes 10-20second to popup the Task Manger window, or 10-20seconds to
open the Internet Explorer or the Notepad.
Tested CPU speed by internet software, it is near 2.4GHZ. RAM looks correct.
Disk size is correct. Fan runs. It reads and plays CD/DVD. It recognizes flash
drive. CPU or memory is only lightly loaded when starting the Notepad or
Explorer. No other programs installed yet.
It takes long time to turn off or restart.
Do you have any idea? What is wrong? Please help me.
Thanks.
Y5.
