I'm really frustrated and need some expert help. I'm using Hp Pavilion dv6910tx laptop having 3 G.B. of RAM and 320 Hard -disk. And, I'm using Windows7 professional OS (for more than a year). Since, last 2 months, its response is very slow and took 15-20 min for starting up. I used all the the possible way to improve the system performance like:
- Hard disk Defragment
- Disk Check
- Full scan using Microsoft Essential.
But, still facing same problem, even when I look my CPU usage, it always shows between 0-10%. I don't understand why it is responding very slowly.
Have you checked the usage of your system's memory? If that's congested, it could be indicative of PUPs (probably unwanted programs) on your box. – Robidu – 2019-07-05T01:31:59.137
How much space is alloted to page file? Paging is very crucial to performance on Windows systems. Check the size of pagefile.sys in your C: and D: drives to know that. – Prahlad Yeri – 2013-03-10T07:24:08.353
how to find this ??? – Ravi – 2013-03-10T07:27:47.187
How full is your hard disk ? As hard drives get fuller (over 80-90% typically) they slow down, although a disk defrag should help a bit as you have done. Have you looked at using a registry cleaner like CCleaner ? – davidgo – 2013-03-10T07:41:56.383
use bootmgr to trace why Windows boots slowly: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=140247
– magicandre1981 – 2013-03-10T08:17:13.307@davidgo around 60-70% full. and if your saying do registry cleaning, then let me try that one also. – Ravi – 2013-03-10T08:35:01.310
The pagefile.sys is in your root directories for eg: C:\pagefile.sys and D:\pagefile.sys. Another way is to open "Control-Panel=>System=>Advanced system settings" and look in the Advanced tab. – Prahlad Yeri – 2013-03-10T09:38:23.627
@jWeavers have you done the boot tracing? – magicandre1981 – 2013-03-11T06:12:04.317
install SSD and use 320 Hard -disk as external HDD :) – Davidenko – 2013-03-11T11:10:28.527
