Maintenance :: Random Freezing After Startup But Resumes After 30 Seconds

Apr 23, 2014

My specs are:

I5 4670k
MSI g45 z78 mobo
16 GB G.Skill 1866
samsung 840 evo SSD
toshiba 2 TB HDD
EVGA GTX 760

I have completely installed a clean win 8.1 install and still have this freezing issue. It happens after i login and after my bitdefender internet security loads fully i try to click on the desktop icons but they are frozen. My mouse moves and i can click on the taskbar and startbutton and CRTL+ALT+DELETE as well. It freezes the desktop icons for 30seconds max. I have booted into safemode and it occurs there as well.

I have ran multiple malware and antivirus scans, sfc/scannow, DISM /Online/Cleanup-Image/RestoreHealth, checked my event viewer for any errors, ran chk dsk, bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes, i cant figure it out. All drivers are up to date, I disabled my lan adapter since i am using wifi. Windows updates are updated, defragged the harddrives, and I been reading through forum after forum but i have not seen this exact problem before. Also this is on stock BIOS no overclock, I also monitored the cpu and memory usage during the time of freezing and it nothing out of the ordinary usage, cpu is kept within 5% and memory is at 20% or less.

Asus Z87 Deluxe / Random Freezing - Cannot Isolate Cause

Feb 3, 2014

I have Asus Z87 Deluxe, CPU Intel I7 4770k Quad Core, Hard Drive Western Digital 4TB SATA HDD, Monitor Asus 24 class LED, Video card Asus HD7790. Running windows 8.1 pro with media centre (x64) (build 9600) It boots into legacy mode. My BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. 1007. I know there is a later version, but I am a little paranoid to flash the Bios concerned I may Brick it.

I am experiencing random screen freezing and I am not sure why. I believe I have the latest drivers for all hardware.

I am at my wits end having had this problem for a month now. I am not to tech savvy to be honest. What I am thinking is my windows should have been installed in UEFI mode ( I am thinking this only because I am running out of things to try). Do I have to do a clean install to accomplish that and if doing so is that likely to solve my problem? Most of the freezes happen when I am working on the desktop with more than one program open (but not always) but quite often it involves playing a video.

Windows Semi-freezing On Startup?

Jul 9, 2013

Three weeks ago I bought a brand new Alienware X51 gaming computer (don't blame me, it was on sale!). Just today, when I boot it up, it works fine initially, but takes an abnormally long time to start up.

After that, it freezes when I do certain things, but the mouse still moves.

What causes it to freeze (so far): Logging out (black screen with mouse)Opening the Start menu, typing something and switching to Settings mode.Opening the Start menu, typing something and clicking thatAnd other random things

When I try to open Task Manager, it simply does nothing, no matter if I launch taskmgr.exe manually, or press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and clicking Task Manager.

The system tray thing is still empty when I click the up arrow, save for an nVidia updater.

Specs: Alienware X51Some kind of i5 (never looked really)GTX 660 That's about all I know.

I have a lot of important data on there (like my 500gb media collection), and my external HDD just died, so reinstalling is not an option (also, I don't have a legitimate install disc).

Debugging :: Random BSOD / Freezing After Clean Reinstall Of Windows

I recently did a clean reinstall of windows because I was having random BSOD/freeze issues. Everything has been fine for the last two weeks or so but I just got another BSOD playing League, and then about half an hour later I had a spike of CPU usage that froze my comp for about 30 seconds.

Laptop Startup - Percentage Ended Up Freezing Up To 12%

Nov 23, 2013

I was scanning my laptop running an AVG Anti-Virus scan last weekend and decided upon my stupid self that I should also download AVG PC Tune-up as well and wanted to repair my driver.

So, I did. Tried and failed.

On the start up of my laptop, the percentage ended up freezing up to 12% two times in a row (it would stay like that for 2 hours tops) and I restarted my laptop two times, only for it to keep on trying to repair my driver.

The stupidest thing that I did was I refreshed my PC, and it ended up erasing all of my precious files, including my drawings, bookmarks on Firefox and a lot of other things that are very dear to me. I had to updated Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 again, thinking that maybe I’ll be able to get my files back somehow.

But it didn’t work.

Now when I open programs that I newly installed, they don’t want to open? And now my laptop is acting very buggy and I’m worried that it might be completely damaged.

All I want is to get all of my files, programs, bookmarks, digital drawings, back. I want my laptop back to the way it used to be before I messed everything up.

My laptop is a Gateway NE56R27u (Windows 8).

Additional information: The weirdest part is that my background stayed the same, Skype pictures stayed (in a hidden file, what the heck?), my drawings managed to stay as well.

Maintenance :: Display Turns Off Every 60 Seconds

Nov 25, 2012

I upgraded to Windows 8 from Win7 a few weeks ago. The display goes black after 60 seconds of inactivity no matter what setting I change. I would like to read documents without having to hit the space bar every minute.

My laptop is a Samsung Series 7 and requires Samsung Easy Settings to run the backlit keyboard. I've looked for a setting in the Samsung software, but don't think that is the problem.

I've also tried to adjust the power plan and advanced settings with no luck. My current power plan is set to Never on turn off the display. Adaptive brightness is turned off.

Random Startup Lockups When Using Rapid Boot

Aug 6, 2013

My hardware specs are available here:

Blue Phantom | MegaGames

By default Windows has Faster starting on

My UEFI also has a rapid boot function which I set to on (But not ultra rapid which requires a GPT formatted HDD/SSD)

However on two occassions this has caused the system to lock when attempting to start Windows. Both times it won't make it past the turning circles.

Restarting, entering UEFI and disabling rapid boot allows Windows to get to the loading screen and then automatically system restore to an earlier time.

Two sets of circumstances have set this chain of events off:

1) Enabling hibernate - apparently my motherboard doesn't like it
2) Using Memtest 3.50 (an older version no longer available) - This happened yesterday.

I would suggest the memtest error is because:

Windows stores bootfiles on the ram for fast startup 3 Year old version of mem test starts up and tests ram, upsetting the boot files
Windows fails to boot.

that's just a hunch as to why it didn't work.

Anyway, long story short I'm occasionally getting lockups and forced system restores to keep windows running whenever I have enabled rapid boot and circumstances are unusual.

I can and have disabled rapid boot but I'd be interested to know what exactly might be causing the problem. Is it just an older incompatible version of memtest and a motherboard which doesn't like to hibernate or a bigger problem?

This problem is likely due to faulty hardware. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem.

Maintenance :: Windows 8.1 Pro X64 Slow And Freezing

May 27, 2014

So I bought a Acer Laptop (Acer Aspire E1-570G) that comes with 4GB of ram (2 months ago).

First problem I'd like to tell is that when I right-click to desktop, it loads for ~15sec untill it opens "Right-Click" menu up, and after that it loads about ~5sec, when I right click any icon, then it loads for ~5sec and when finally this right-click menu opens and I click "Open File location" then it loads for another ~10sec to open it's location. I saw that when you go to Device Manager and disable your graphics card and enable them, it would fix problems, also I tried ShellView, none of them worked.

Second problem is that after I updated my graphics drivers (NOT BETA) then after that at one time, all my 4GB will be used causing pc to freeze and I have to force restart it. Now I went and opened Task Manger and processes that "ate" my RAM were System and Service Host: Local System (Network Restricted) (8), first it's okay but after some time I was ablet to see how ram usage from normal, 1,8GB went up to 3.9GB in ~1min.

My friend has same problems and he has 8GB of ram, so me having 4GB can't be the issue.

Also I would mention that restarts are VERY slow, it loads the boot screen, then this white circle goes round and round, then I get black screen for few minutes and then it's useable. I already minimized my startup programs!

Maintenance :: Intermittent Freezing But NO BSOD Or Reboot

Aug 17, 2014

It boots OK. Dell 755 dual core 1.8 3.5Gb ram,

For some time now, the machine will suddenly freeze, after 10 sec or so back to working, using any program. When I open outlook I'm now getting a message saying outlook didn't close properly, or personal folder didn't close properly. I always shut down al rpgrogram before switching off.

After it's frozen you can hear the HDD crackling a little, it's like backing up. Don't a HDD scan and check everything seem to be OK. I did look through the log, I noticed a lot of multiple triggers. Don't know what that means.

I run a Huawei modem since I used a Tigo chip, when It boots up, I notice the FDD light comes on. When I leave the modem in the USB and boot up, I loose my CD ROM icon, to get it back If I need it, I have to remove any usb drive like Modem, flash drive it reappears. This has happened for long long time. It did the same in Win7.

Maintenance :: Random Hang Up Of Windows 8 Pro

Mar 11, 2013

Running Windows 8 Pro since its release and it has been a nice journey so far but recently or more precisely since last 3-4 days,windows has been hanging up and being unresponsive and the only way is manual hard shutdown.

One time it hang up in middle of skype call and last time it hang up in middle of browsing in Google Chrome.Windows is updated to the last update i.e 02/03/2013.

Also when laptop hangs up the fan starts rotating at high speed.

Any tests i need to run to pinpoint the source of hang ups??

I think its more of a software issue rather than hardware ...

Maintenance :: Slow Boot Up And Random Log Into Temp Profile On 8.1 Pro X64

Jan 9, 2014

I have an HP laptop (G6-2005AX) with the following configuration

CPU: AMD A8-4500M APU 4-cores with Radeon HD Graphics
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7640G + 7600M Dual Graphics
Memory : 8 GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM (2x4GB in dual channel)
Mainboard: Hewlett-Packard 184A
Hard Drive: Seagate ST500LM0 12 HN-M500MBB 500GB 5400RPM

I'm using AVG free 2014 as AV and did a full system scan - no viruses.

The problem is that Windows 8.1 (64bit, pro) boots up really slow - taking upto 6-7 minutes. After it boots up and, well I don't know exactly how to put this - let's say "settles down", everything works as normal. After getting past the password screen, clicking on the desktop tile takes around 1-2 minutes to boot into desktop, after that opening any program (Chrome, MS-Word etc) will take 3-4 minutes - but after it has "settled", everything works as it should.

Also, another curious problem I am facing is that once in a while, when typing my password and logging in, Windows boots into a temporary profile (no apps, blank desktop) and a message appears on the notification area that "windows has logged you on with a temporary profile" or something similar - I need to sign out, then after I sign in again, my real profile gets loaded.

I thought the problem of logging into a temp profile, I thought was that the PC was not verified - I verified it by going to Change PC settings --> Accounts. But after 4-5 days, I see the option of verifying the PC again.
