Royalty Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 chipset=all of them...every single one of them bios update wouldn't hurt. The last 3 chipsets are duplicates. Which one should I install? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted October 1, 2015 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2015 just do the bottom one for now. check device manager for any unknown devices after you have finished with all of the driver installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrynalyne Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I reenable it to return it to a state where it looks untouched. You can grab all 3, it will only install what it detects. I re-enabled it on my Spectre after install and it broke the OS. I ended up making a UEFI compatible flash drive install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royalty Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Where do you stand now with the reinstall? Almost done. Should I install any of the software solutions? Any of the keyboard, mouse, and input devices? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted October 1, 2015 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2015 No leave them for now. At this point only do anything that is in dev manager as unknown. Royalty 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted October 1, 2015 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) With nothing loaded other than the os how is it running. Run some tests. As mentioned by someone prior, change power settings to performance. It should be as fast as the old one or better being that there is no bloat ware. Performance will drain the battery faster but I can make that change later, to give you decent performance and decent battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalty Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 With nothing loaded other than the os how is it running. Run some tests. As mentored by someone prior change power settings to performance. Yes, are there any other settings that I can do to max out my performance? Any processor settings, RAM settings, etc...?

sc302 Veteran Posted October 1, 2015 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Not a whole lot with that, it is a laptop after all. Best we can do is mess with different power settings, change some nic settings. Ssd would be the only other thing you can do to it to really boost speed, noticeably. Doing this was the first step to give you everything the computer can do without all the bs software and reminisce of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted October 1, 2015 Veteran Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) You only have the os on it now, no other crap slowing it down. It is about as good as it is going to get without going ssd. Like I said, minor things that can only improve battery life after you set it for performance.

DevTech Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I re-enabled it on my Spectre after install and it broke the OS. I ended up making a UEFI compatible flash drive install. Yeah, that's what I do too. I vaguely recall WIndows will alter the way it partitions the drive but I'm a bit exhausted with this never-ending thread to dig out the specifics...

DevTech Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Okay, thanks though. Actually, I feel like it is faster than if I would have restored it from the HP recovery thing. Thanks a lot sc302! Just duplicate your test scenario where you were copying files, loading a program and watching Youtube at the same time to see if it is fixed.

Next time I'm in Australia, I'll buy you that beer. I think I might have a cousin living in Australia so maybe I can get him to deliver one. I can't imagine making such a trip - the world is so huge, so full of things, yet also a tiny spec in the ocean of stars...

SnailSlug Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 This might be a little late, but why didn't you use a drive imager like Macrium Reflect to store the drive image to copy to a SSD? It can't be the gpu. Even integrated gpus made in the last few years can handle 4k at 30fps. The major cause of browser lag is browser add-ons, followed by crappy javascript. The biggest cause of lag in general would be antivirus. Approximately one-third of your system resources will be used for active antivirus. Also, don't use the built-in Task Manager. Use Process Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tansy87 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Did you adjust the post processing routines in VLC? On the inputs and codecs menu, turn "skip H.264 in-loop deblocking filter" to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBogard Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Well, This is the laptop I have: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-x360-2-in-1-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-natural-silver/4221702.p?id=1219708600904&skuId=4221702 I feel like my laptop is just not fast enough. I mean I have an i7 and 8GB of RAM. I used to have this: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387430,00.asp Here is why I feel like it's not fast enough: YouTube videos lag whenever I try to play 720p or 1080p videos. When I have too many programs open (for example 8 of the same programs) on both my new and old laptop, my old laptop seems to run and "feel" faster. I haven't gamed yet with my new laptop but I'm going to try it soon. I doubt it will be as good as the old one though. Any reason for this? I used to run Windows 7 on my old laptop and I have Windows 10 on my new laptop (it came with it). I just don't know how I can take full advantage of my laptop as I'm getting very frustrated with this new laptop. Thanks. That i7 is a lie! I can't believe Intel would brand ###### in such a misleading way. Here's the thing, mate... YOUR OLDER CPU WAS BETTER. Edit: I'm a dumbass. Thought the first page of the thread was the only page. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
