    Freeze after computer sits idle


    What's happening is when I leave the computer and come back an hour or more later, I will be able to move my mouse cursor around but I cannot bring up anything on the desktop (taskbar which is hidden, right click menu or windows key menu), and after I try to do any of these tasks or I move the mouse around more the pc just freezes and I have to hard boot.

    What should I do?

    Welcome, XNemesis.

    First, please fill out your System Specs.

    Check your Event Logs for any errors.

    Check Device Manager for any yellow warnings.

    Temporarily disable sleep and hibernate modes.

    Check the power settings on the network adapter. Disable power savings mode.

    If you have a torrent, uninstall.

    Please let us know your status after these items.

    Just as a quick FYI...

    HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR SYSTEM SPECS

    In the line at the top of www.SevenForums.com you will see UserCP.
    That is an abbreviation for User Control Panel.
    Click on UserCP.
    In the left-hand column, under Your Profile you will see Edit System Spec.
    Click on Edit System Spec
    You can copy and paste from the output of Speccy, Speccy - System Information - Free Download to fill out much of the info. Be sure to use the Other Info section of your System Specs for such info as your optical drive, your wireless adapter, your speakers, etc.

    Ok, I've done all the steps, I was not able to find any drivers folder under windows in the C: drive and I searched for IOCBIOS.sys in windows explorer but with no results. I've already got MSE installed and the scan came up clean.

    What next?

    It didn't find anything important apart from non intel hardware and all these recommended to contact the manufacturer for updates, but I know they are all up to date.
