Windows 7 64 Bit Ridiculous Loading and Freezing
There was another post that was from 2010 that sort of helped my problem here:
Security Processor loader Driver
Although I then realized that the fellow that had made that post in 2010 posted it in the Hardware-Devices forum. I would make this post in the Drivers forum although I'm not entirely convinced that it is ONLY my drivers that are going bad.
Manufacturer: iBuyPower
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506)
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Short Story: Seemingly out of no where last week my computer started loading things slower than usual, and freezing on occasion for maybe 20-30 seconds at a time. This condition then worsened to the point where I'd either wait 3-5 minutes or just reboot because not even ctrl+alt+delete would unfreeze my computer. I even had to flip my power switch one time because holding down the power button wouldn't shut off my rig.
Eventually I tried running virus / malware scan assuming I had gotten some crazy virus that was destroying my computer. All scans came up clean, so I ran registry and disc cleaners, and also defragmented. None of these things worked. I then stumbled upon several forum posts including the one I linked above talking about Security Processor Loader Driver being corrupt or missing and that the solution to this problem was to reinstall my graphics software.
I'd like to make it known that my computer runs flawlessly in Safe Mode with Networking. This slow loading problem only occurs in my normal run of Windows. I've disabled just about every start up program I have to see if any were causing this, to no avail.
Reinstalling my graphics software DOES fix this problem.... Temporarily. Although a a few reboots later and I'm back to the same old EXTREMELY slow loading. What I'm wondering is, if anyone has ever heard of this before... Also do you think that my graphics card is faulty? I've had trouble with it right out of the box (Had to ship it back to Ibuypower because they mailed it to me broken). I've checked my drivers since its started happening again and in fact Security Processor Loader Driver is no longer accompanied by the yellow exclamation point... So I have no idea at this point whats going on.
