TRANSLATION: Hello to all. I have a latitude C540 (1.7 GHz Celeron with 512 MB RAM running Windows XP Pro SP1) which gives terrible performance. All the benchmarks rate it as a Pentium 3/500, even worse. When I put my hard disk on another equivalent machine, no problem, it goes nickel (??), which precludes a disk problem or Windows problem. With the disc of this other machine on my C540, it performs terribly, too. The motherboard was changed twice and the processor once. I did tests with another memory card, no improvement. On the other hand, when I start in mode without failure (??), not of preoccupation (??) with performances, the benchs are in the nails. So I started in diagnostic mode (msconfig), and that fails. Similarly, by removing all the peripherals: battery, modem, DVD drive, PCMCIA cards, network and even disconnected the LCD display! Up to date drivers, BIOS too. If somebody has an idea, I am willing to accept it. Thank you in advance.
