so i have IE and chrome installed on a lenovo laptop with 8gb ram and a i3 processor.

ive noticed recently that opening several tabs in chrome causes it to stall. So all the opened tabs never really load pages, just like you're viewing via a 56kps modem!!! after a few minutes it does load, but the sites are nearly impossible to use, the scrolling is slow as hell.

howwever the rest ofthe computer is fine.

i thought the ram may be corrupt so changed that, reinstalled flash but and cleaned up the browesrs, still no better :( any suggestions as to whats happening?

Out of curiosity do you have windows 8 installed? If not... try to disable flash plugin, I also exactly the same issue and I'm trying to pin point the problem...

no just windows 7.

fyi sorry about the typos' was typing when the computer went all m25 clockwise traffic gangdum style

i deleted all extensions/addons for chrome and IE

cpu is fine, it can happen seconds after starting up to hours into laptop usage.

also it's good to keep track of I/O reads and writes... enable those columns in task manager and keep an eye out and try to minimize usage of that. also have the delta enabled as well... when stuff gets too out of hand kill it...

I know when I used WMP my Page fault delta and I/O reads were high as hell.... like 6x more then jriver media jukebox.... I got tired of my drive grinding like enrique iglaseas!!!!

also ... STAY AWAY FROM REALPLAYER/REALDOWNLOADER!!! those have high I/O as well

spoolsv.exe is pretty bad about that as well....

What is "the delta" by the way?

What is "the delta" by the way?

The change in the number of page faults since the last update

WMP's P/F Delta stayed around 2,000-8,000 and spiked to 15,000 sometimes....

(My music would start stuttering and needing to buffer a good bit when it spikes up a lot)

JRMJ's P/F Delta stays around 250-500 and spikes to 1,300 sometimes....

(very rarely does my music stutter or need to buffer)(JRMJ also has a "play files from memory instead of disk" option but I don't use this)

and I use even larger playlists with JRMJ then I do with WMP.

Chrome spikes to 15,000 loading all 22 tabs resuming from sessions... hovers around 500.

How does yours look?

Firefox spikes to 11000... but so far most of the times keepts at 100.

That's not too bad....

Thank you for the delta PF, it's just what I was looking for, for some reason my browser has not frozen though... but if I see something like that now I know where to check it :D

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
