Hi there,
Been suffering with this problem for months and can't seem to remedy it.
When I first boot my system, or resume it from sleep, my PC will randomly freeze for about 30 seconds, then go back to normal. This happens anywhere from 4-6 times within the first 20 minutes, and then stops. I can usually then use it as normal (in fact when it works it works very smoothly) until I reboot/rewake.
I'm not sure if it's related, but I do get the occasional BSOD too. This seems to be becoming more frequent, but it is still relatively rare and there is no apparent pattern to it.
It is difficult to identify when exactly the problem started, but it seems to be sometime after I rebuilt the machine (new chassis, SSD, Memory).
I now have a 128GB SSD as my system drive, a 500GB user drive, and another 500GB drive for other storage. All drives have clean SMART data and chkdsk reports no issues. I suppose I am suspicious because this is my first SSD system and the first time I've experienced the issue.
Installed are 2x2GB DDR2 sticks of RAM. I've tested them with the windows utility and Memtest86, no issues.
The only other two changes were that I installed a 64bit version of windows and housed everything in a new case, but I can't see how either of those would be a problem?
I've updated all drivers, scanned with Windows Defender and Malware Bytes, removed external devices and swapped the PSU, all to no avail.
It's a bit worrying as I'm working on a few theses for tight deadlines and do not want to rely on Word's autosaves! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have used the 7 Forums Diagnostics tool and attached the zip file to the post.
Thanks in advance
[EDIT: Read the post here: http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-support/52249-temporary-unresponsiveness-after-startup.html . Booted in diagnostic start up and all was fine - so I'm guessing it's service/startup program related? Set to skeleton boot with only essential programs and services (but including things that diagnostic doesn't, so as to enable wifi etc), problem returned. How to go about identifying the boot service or program that leads to the hangs??]
