hell911 · 16 Dec 2010

2 days ago, cable of my psu was not working, today i bought a new one, then i started file transfer, turned out, IT BECAME REALLY SLOW!! i dont know why, pls help me..

btw, got 2 HDD's, 250gb each, and 1 flashdisk 4gb, i tried transfer files in all of them, but it is very slow, last time i checked it was about 20mb-50mb per sec, now, its about 1mb per sec, sometimes lower than that..

pls help me

also, i did virus check, disk defrag, deleted all files from %temp%, check disk also, but still not good, do you guys think that the cable does this thing

, hehe, pls help me, i want to transfer files, 2 days ago, 700mb file transfer is just about 1 min, now, its 10 mins.

and if guys need dxdiag report, i'll post it.

i cant see how a power cable would effect data as long as the right volts is there might be worth running this

Perform a SFC Scan

1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow

2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

sfc /scannow

A message will appear stating that 'The system scan will begin'. Be patient because the scan may take some time

3. If any files require a replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Windows 7 DVD for this process to continue

4. If everything is okay you should, after the scan, see the following message "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations"

5. After the scan has completed, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

@brian
yes, both hdd's have check...

btw~ guys, i noticed, i think my whole system is slowed down, i really dont know how this happened. and im really having doubt that wire have something to do with this.

i tried saving the dxdiag report file, it took a while, maybe 20-30 second, which needs only to be about 10 seconds back then.

check all the sata cables to the drives i will research for you ok:)

also run a check disk on the drives in admin mode you will have to re-boot

here's the result...

ok, i will check the cables also in cpu, but i dont think that would cause any problem.

run the check disk as well:)

oh, DAMN!!!!

i think the sata cables were placed wrong... i just fixed them right now, and copying files are great(back to normal)..

btw~ i will come back here when there's a problem..

thank you guys for trying to help... i'll just test some file copying right now. :)

also, i ignored the checkdisk (sry) hehe, it was so slow, coz of sata cables.
