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

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
