I've got HP Pavilion dv6-6167cl Entertainment Notebook PC which is very slow under Windows 8.
I previously had Windows 7, and currently I have "clear" Windows 8 with 5 installed apps.
There is 2-5 sec delay whenever these actions are performed:
- Select font in Word 2013 with it's preview feature;
- Open an Open/Save File/Folder dialog window. For example, when I attach a file for email I wait 3 sec. to see the dialog window or to scroll after the dialog window's opening or to switch among folders;
- Click select all files (check boxes) to download in uTorrent;
- Open My Computer or disks (C, D...) or folders;
- Click Charms->Settings->Power to see an appearing box with options Sleep, Shutdown, Restart.
- Close a file (image, doc);
- Switch between windows and etc.
CPU's utilization is no more than 5% and it doesn't' happen every time but happens 20% of cases.
I cannot watch movies cause they get stuck every 10-15 sec. It doesn't matter what quality they have (1.4 GB or 8 GB) or what codecs/video drivers are installed (I've tried several). I had the same issue in Windows 7.
Windows 8 rates my laptop at 5.2
How to fix this problem?
Edited:
Following suggestions I installed all HP/Intel drivers and used Windows Performance Recorder and Analyzer working in Word 2013.
Does the below graph show any issues?
Have you installed the drivers for your chipset, graphics, hard drive, etc? They can make a pretty big difference in performance. If not, go here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02863112&lc=en&product=5118749&
Choose your operating system (no Windows 8 here, just choose 32 or 64 bits WIndows 7)
If it's really not clear what the issue is, you could go all out and
