Win7 works smoothly, then Suddenly slows down.
I tried looking for a thread to help my problems, though all of them seemed to also be slow on start up as well, which is unfortunately not consistent with my issues..
My issue is really strange. I have Spy-ware doctor with anti-virus. I have had no problems in the past detecting virus' and fixing them. Searches have come up negative after an encounter with my problem.
When I start my computer its Lightning fast. I love it. Win7 performs solid and not laggy. I click on the start menu and it appears instantly, as with any window I go to. even with a large number of files, it visually loads all the files seamlessly. No waiting to stream in stuff. Programs run without a hitch!
Then suddenly.... at 3:30am-5am (sometime in between)
My computer enters some sort of funk. When I try to click to a new program, I have to wait 15 seconds or more just for the window to appear. When i click on the start menu and bottom tab for ANYTHING I will get no response for sometimes 2 minutes!
When I try to right click on the system icons on the right side, no tab opens for about 10 minutes (not exaggerating)
When I get into my task manager everything says its running smooth. Not crazy CPU usage is there. even my resource monitor shows nothing out of the usual.
When I restart my computer at this point it never shuts down. it will lag on the shutdowns screen forever (I left it on there for 12 hours once and it did not shut down)
At this point I have to manually force a shut down. and on restarting, guess what, EVERYTHING is fine. super fast again, no slow downs..... Until 3:30am-5am.... then next day it slows down again...
I should also note I have tried letting the computer sit in this slowed down state for 12 hours to see if it would get past it. it didn't.
Any help would be great!
