hi guys and girls
this is my first post on this forum, and sadly its about a negative point.
yesterday i bought a brand new vaio VPCF13M0E/B and its very slow. my old acer 6920g would leave it dead.
my new laptop seems to be using 40% of its 4gb DDR3 RAM even though firefox is the only application i have running. its also running 12 of SVCHOST.EXE
i would expect a brand new laptop with i7 1.73ghz processor to run alot smoother. sometimes it cant even keep up with my typing speed, and i cant touch type!!!
its using windows 7 64 bit OS if that makes a difference. is there anything i can do, or do i jusat have an elaborate paperweight?
thanks
I bought a new vaio a few days ago.. a more budget one than anything, the vpcee3j0e, but I've also got RAM issues with the win 7 64 bit. It says:
I must also add that my ram is DDR3 and my processor is AMD dual core 2.2ghz and I have an ATI graphics card installed with 256 dedicated ram - all of this combined should mean that word processing ATLEAST shouldn't make it fall over, and all the above is with the power cord in, so it's not based on battery performance.
I hope there's some sort of cure for this as I feel your pain!!
I had a similar experience to this.
I reinstalled Windows 7 from cleanly formatted disk and never looked back.
The machine is very capable but the factory SW build takes a terrible toll.
Reinstall and be thrilled.
