Since Wake from Sleep Mode Comp. Can't Do Anything

[Skrulz]

Hi SevenForums. This is my first post here, so forgive me if I'm breaking any etiquette.

My problem is that, if I just close my laptop and let it do it's thing, when I re-open it and it goes to boot up, it takes a very long time, up to fifteen minutes. And even after that, everything is basically unresponsive. Opening the start menu takes several minutes, running the Task Manager takes no less than five. That's to say nothing for larger programs.

This happened several times, all in situations where I closed my laptop without shutting down or logging off. I'm not sure what the default action is for that (sleep or hibernate?) but whichever it is seems to cause my laptop to simply cease being able to perform.

Prior to now, this was easy enough to fix by just restarting the laptop, sometimes a couple of times. Now, however, unless I boot in safe mode (such as I am now, with networking), I can barely get past the log-in screen. Anyone have any solutions?

I don't know about tech stuff really, but I can take directions well enough. If there's any other information I can provide, let me know. I'll be diligently checking this post all night!

Thanks in advance, guys.

What antivirus do you use?

I can barely get past the log-in screen

Run a scan of Malwarebytes and repair corrupted system files with SFC

 

[Skrulz]

My current anti-virus is McAfee, and it came with my computer as a trial. As for the Malwarebytes bit, I'll do that now, and edit when complete.

Remove McAfee and use MSE

Can do. Currently running Malwarebytes as you instructed. Upon reading the page on SFC however, I noticed it said I should make use of system restore in the event of corrupted files. For some reason, I don't seem to have any system restore points (which is strange, because I had a good number not more than two days ago). I'm willing to go for option two, which is manually replacing any corrupted files, but I don't know of a good place to find them. Any advice on that?

Seems like malware deleted them

 

[Skrulz]

Okay, Malwarebytes scan was clean, as was SFC. Gonna uninstall McAfee and install MSE as you suggested. Hopefully it works!

 

[Skrulz]

No luck. Logging in is much faster now, down to an exceptional 10 seconds. However, as soon as the desktop is loaded up, I'm still unable to really do anything. Start menu takes 20 seconds to open up after clicking, and even the task manager took about a minute. I didn't try anything else because, based on that, I probably wouldn't have any success.

McAfee is uninstalled, but since I can't really run in a normal logon, I haven't been able to install MSE yet.

Is there a next step from there? I'm at a loss

Hi,

Lets see what else is slowing your system down.

Please follow these instructions: http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html

Attach the .zip file to your next post in this thread.

Windows 7 64bit OEM

This laptop is about four months old. I have not reinstalled the OS.


Done, except for that the perfmon /report didn't work. I attached a screenshot showing what it displayed. Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2.zip is included, however.


As a side note, yowanvista, I gave you rep for sticking with me so long on this. Thanks so much!

Your previous dumps blame memory corruption
I'll advise testing your RAM http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

You could also remove unwanted start up programs from msconfig(Start>run>msconfig>Startup)

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a)
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in.  Typically caused by
a bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also see
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.
If the error status is 0xC000009A, then it means the request failed because
a filesystem failed to make forward progress.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff6fc0001a200, lock type that was held (value 1,2,3, or PTE address)
Arg2: ffffffffc0000185, error status (normally i/o status code)
Arg3: 000000002a0e9860, current process (virtual address for lock type 3, or PTE)
Arg4: fffff8000344007a, virtual address that could not be in-paged (or PTE contents if arg1 is a PTE address)

Hi,

As yowanvista said - you have had BSODs recently, and both could be caused by memory corruption, which could also cause hibernation/standby problems.

Make sure you run this test as well as the one he mentioned - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-cpu-stress-test-prime95.html (run the Blend test as well as the Small FFT test)

Apart from McAfee - your system is pretty clean. I am more inclined to look at possible hardware causes at this stage, there are however a few other software items to check. Lets see if these hardware tests pass first though.

Regards,
Reventon

You could also remove unwanted start up programs from msconfig(Start>run>msconfig>Startup)

I tried that earlier. I've disabled the entire non-windows list.

yowanvista: As for the tests, before I go about trying the first one, RAM - Test with Memtest86+, I don't have a USB storage device of any kind. Is it possible to burn the CD version to a disk in Safe Mode?

reventon: I'm running the Blend test from CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. I'd post my progress in it, but I think anything I'd say would just be confusing (maybe that's just from my perspective x) ). On that particular note, am I correct in assuming that this test is going to take several hours? I've got the time and all, I'm just curious.

 

[Petey7]

If you have not done so already, download and run the McAfee removal tool. McAfee's uninstaller commonly leaves stuff behind. This will cleanup anything left.

How to uninstall or reinstall supported McAfee consumer products using the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR.exe)

 

[Skrulz]

Just ran the MCPR.exe, successfully.

revention: I had to restart the Blend test..Power surge left me on battery power, and the battery didn't quite make it until the power was back on No worries though. I must be patient! x)

 

[Skrulz]

Just finished the Small FFT test, after having done the Blend test. Blend ran for 15 hours, 0 errors 0 warnings. Small FFT ran for 12 hours, 0 errors 0 warnings.

However, I haven't figured out a way to run Memtest86 yet, having no USB device or way to burn the program to a CD.

I can post the results for the scans if needed. If not, is there a next step?

 

[Skrulz]

I don't know if this is relevant, but I just tried to log on normally, and it worked fine for about two minutes or so. Went back to being unworkable again right after that, though.

 

[reventon]

Get a USB device so you can run Memtest, USB drives are extremely cheap nowdays.

 

[Skrulz]

13 passes, 0 errors. Ran USB version if that's important.

Anyways, sorry it took me so long to get that done. Just got paid today, so bought a little usb mp3-player.

Not sure if this is relevant, but yesterday I tried to boot up normally, and it worked fine. Everything ran properly until I closed the lid on the laptop. Seems like something that happens after that is what's causing the problem, but then, I'm no expert.

 

[reventon]

Go into the power options in control panel (or the manufacturers power control panel that most laptop manufacturers install) and change it to go into Hibernate when the lid closes instead of Sleep.

Then try it out and see if you have any problems with hibernation.
