PC starts lagging 1 minute after been booted or awaken from sleep-mode
Hey everyone, I'm experiencing a really aggravating issue for a while now.
When my PC is booted or even simply awaken from sleep-mode, it is blazing fast for about 1 minute then, abruptly, it starts lagging. If I shut it down or put to sleep-mode, and boot up or wake it up, it does the same thing every time. I can notice lag either in my 3d software or even browsing the internet. Even by doing NOTHING for 1 minutes after booting, the lag will starts. It doesn't seem to be triggered by anything. I always found my PC to be slow for the price I bought it. When I realized my PC was slow compared to cheaper PCs, I reformatted it (that's maybe 2-3 months ago) and it fixed the problem, but in retrospective, maybe I didn't wait the 1 minute mark to notice I never really fixed it. Here is extra information on what I tried so far without finding the problem: - Ran Malwarebytes and AVG - Defragmented my drives - Dusted the PC - Torture-tested my CPUs with Prime95 - Downloaded RealTemp to make sure I it doesn't over heat. Actually it does overheat a bit when I Torturetest it (goes up to 90 degrees Celsius on each CPUs) but it doesn't go higher then 55 degrees when I use even my most demanding software) - Ran an Intel Diagnostic tool - Check in my Ressource Monitor if some software closed or opened before and after the lagging point. I found a few and tried to end-process them without success, and most of them open/close all the time and are stardard Windows services. - Re-installed the 3d software where I notice the most lag (but like I said, even my internet browser starts lagging at the same point). - I uninstalled all the most recent software I installed. Info about my PC: - Windows 7, 64 bits - Mobo is ASUSTek Z87-PRO - Intel i7-4770K 3.5 GHz 8-cores - 32 Gb of RAM - NVIDIA GTX 760 - I have 2 hard drive: the OS and all software are my SSD and I have another drive for data only which is not SSD Can you please help me?! I understand the ultimate solution might be to reformat again... but it seems the problem always comes back anyway... Thanks in advance |

does the lag happen in safemode with network?

Actually there is no problem in safe mode! (with not network tho)
But I don't understand what it means and where to go from there. |

it could be a program/utility in your startup that is causing the problem. it could also be a driver
http://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-t...ms-in-windows/ finally when you reinstall a few months ago, did you go to the computer manufacturers website, download the latest drivers and installed them. |

I found it! ......but now I have a new problem...
The solution ----> When into MsConfig under the Service Tab and found out that the Microsoft Corporation service called "Power" was the culprit. The new problem -----> I don't have any sound anymore... |

SOLVED! I had to reactivate the Power Service to access the Power Options cause it didn't want to open. After accessing the Power Options, I went to Create a Power Plan and chose High Performance. I guess I might have played in the advance setting of the other default options and screwed something up! Anyway with the High performance plan, I don't get any lag and I don't have to have the Power Service disabled so my PC doesn't lag.
