Computer extremely slow during and after clean install and reboots.

Paul Black · 30 Jul 2017

Thanks for the reply ICIT2LOL, it is appreciated.

This is what I did on the previous install before the re-install yesterday.

I run mdsched.exe (Memory Diagnostics Tool) in Extended mode and it said NO memory errors were detected.

I ran the SystemDiagnostics software that came with the computer which checked:

Hard disks - OK.
Main memory - OK.
Processors - OK.
DVD/CD-ROM drives - OK.
Network adapters - OK.
Graphic adapters - OK.
Device status check - OK.

I ran perfmon /report and everything was OK.

I went through the Device Manager and checked for driver updates and everything seemed OK.

I ran Memtest86+ from my USB and got 10 passes without error.

I downloaded and ran the SeaTools for Windows. I ran:

(1) S.M.A.R.T.
(2) Short Drive Self Test.
(3) Short Generic.
(4) Long Generic (this took quite a while).

...and they all PASSED.

Sorry mate it has me scratching around now for an answer. Now the only thing we haven't touched on is the PSU and I am wondering if you want to check it out just out of curiosity and elimination purposes because incorrect rail voltages can throw the machine off course. If you do want to check it it only takes a few minutes and use this ditty of mine to have a look and if there are things out of whack then you can always check with a physical multilmeter (digital) to make sure as soem are not fans of HW Info.
Using HW Info
PART A:
You can test the volts on the PSU with HW Info HWiNFO - Download < download the right bit version and close the right hand window select Sensors and scroll down to the power section where you will see what the volts are doing see my pic. In my pic the section (Nuvoton) with VBATT as a dead give away you are in the section for the rail voltages. There are other section titles and one that pops up often is ITE (sometimes the usual one for Gigabyte boards)
Now the voltage on the different rails have to be within 5% =+/- of what is required or the machine will not work properly if at all.
Limits +/- (minimum - correct - maximum)
12v1 = 11.4 - 12 - 12.6v
12v2 = 11.4 - 12- 12.6v
5v = 4.75 – 5 - 5.25v
3.3v = 3.135 – 3 – 3.465v
-12v = -10.80 - -12 - -13.20v
+5VSB = 4.75 – 5 - 5.25v
The Power good signal voltage at pin 8 on the 24 pin plug (grey cable) should be the same as the 5v rail reading/s
See this for the rail voltage info
PSUs 101: A Detailed Look Into Power Supplies (Section 2.)
The original right hand window shows the machine running and is handy for that but for looking at the components in some detail close it and use the main left hand side panel
FOR OTHER COMPONENTS
PART B:
Open each small square with + in it on the section the components are in and then click on the individual component/s (it will highlight in blue) - in the right hand side will appear all sorts of details including brands speeds and other essential info that particular device. See pic for example.

Use PART A:

Thanks for that, I will give it a go.
Out of interest, which of the four in the drop down menu do I download please?

ICIT2LOL · 30 Jul 2017

Ok Paul it opens with four screens one tiny one for an update that never happens and two that give running info close all three and just use the main interface see my pic

Paul Black · 30 Jul 2017

Sorry, my fault, I didn't explain myself properly.
I meant on the download site...

FossHub (Fast CDN)
Local (U.S.)
SAC ftp (SK)
Old versions (Archive)

Thanks in advance.

ICIT2LOL · 30 Jul 2017

Paul the US one I always use it.

Paul Black · 31 Jul 2017

Thanks for that.
I installed the Local (U.S.) ut it didn't give me a program like yours, it only gave me sensors or summary.
Anyway, here is the information produced for the sensors.

Update:

I re-installed yesterday and after installation I ran the DeskUpdate which comes with the Fujitsu computer and finds new drivers and software. I installed the drivers (System devices, other devices, display adapters, mice and other pointing devices and network adapters) that it found but NOT the software as I had previously done.
That seemed to go OK but I did get the computer shutting down on its own on occassions but nothing like before.
I have been advised advised to run the following updates after a clean iinstall in the exact order listed below (they are all .msu's):

(01) KB3191492 - I.E.11 (54,605 KB) - Restart needed.

(02) KB3020369 (09,352 KB) - Servicing Stack Update April 2015.
(03) KB3125574 (488,32 KB) - SP2 sort of.
(04) KB3172605 (29,960 KB) - This one is IMPORTANT.
(05) KB3192391 (81,053 KB) - 2016, October.
(06) KB3197867 (90,132 KB) - 2016, November.
(07) KB3205394 (64,498 KB) - 2016, December.
(08) KB3212642 (06,335 KB) - 2017, January.
(09) KB4012212 (33,976 KB) - 2017, March.
(10) KB4015546 (38,425 KB) - 2017, April.
(11) KB4019263 (31,287 KB) - 2017, May.
(12) KB4022722 (48,130 KB) - 2017, June.
(13) KB4025337 (27,080 KB) - 2917, July.

(01) Run and installed OK on the second attemp because the first attempt gave me a BSOD and shut down.
(02) Run and installed OK.
(03) I just haven't been able to get this to install on ANY of the clean install.
(04) Run and installed OK.

Then I just had no luck with (05) onwards. This is when my problems of BSOD started with constanly just shutting down and having booting problems. I tried system repair which seemed to work for a very limited time. It took minutes to boot into Windows and on many occasions I had to hard boot, sometimes two or three times to get it to boot. When it did eventually boot, clicking a link in Control Panel took minutes to open.
It seems like it runs out of memory (although we have checked this and it was OK) or times out, although power options are set to never.

Thanks in advance.

Oops sorry Paul mate it completely escaped me the machine is a laptop and it will only show the charge on the battery stuff and yours looks ok so apologies again but that is the right site. It is worth keeping that program for future use into looking at system details.

Look I am having serious broadband issues here as I just had the new national system put on and it is making posting a nightmare. So I shall be shutting down for the night shortly but anyway if you reinstalled just how did you do that?? and if you did a clean install with an ISO did you clean the drive first. My guess is that you are doing a factory restore and I am not sure if everything is ok with that.

Paul Black · 31 Jul 2017

No problems ICIT2LOL, I appreciate you sticking with me on this.

I reinstalled from the recovery DVD that came with the laptop.

I am waiting for some DVD's to be delivered, hopefully either today or tomorrow.
The ISO that I downloaded and used on one previous occasion I burnt a 8x. When I get the DVD's I will burn it again at 4x to see if that makes a difference. At least from an ISO it should be OK, otherwise it will be something to do with the computer. When I do this I will clean all with DiskPart (again).

Thanks again.
