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.

Vincent
