SOURCE: Aspire 3680-2682 just too slow
Hi,
To stop the machine shutting down,
Go to Microsoft and install updates,
Service packs etc...
Then run a scan to check for viruses.
This should stop the shutdowns ( if there is no damage to system already ) this should resolve that problem,
Wireless is abit slower ( that's just wireless )
Wired is better, if this is possible.
Slowness issue....
Run...Disk-cleanup, Defragmenter, ( from start, accessories, system tools )
Run CHKDSK.exe from a command promt, this is start, run box, type CMD, in the black screen command prompt, type CHKDSK.exe, this will check system files are good,( for the shut down issue too )
Delete any applications you do not use or are old. in Program's & feature / all programmes.
( in start, control panel, all programmes /features.
Scroll...check for outdated programmes, un-install them..
Increase the performance now.
Go to start, control panel, system, advanced system properties, advanced tab, performance tab, performance settings,under visual effects, adjust for best prformance.tick this box. ( better speed )
Increase the page file size too...
start, contol panel, system, system properties, advanced tab, under virtual memory, click change, click custom size, (( in the 2 white boxes put the recommended page file size ))
((look at the bottom it says total page file size for all drives-RECOMMENDED its the middle value ))
Put this figure in the 2 white boxes, click set, and click ok to complete procedure.
(( you should get a dialog box saying, you must restart system for the page file and the performance switch over to be functional.
Have a shut down and re-boot.
If this is done correctly, this will improve performane for you.
Regards
Richard.
