Hang for 5-10 min, then work then hang

Right now I'm seeing it as being the issue since the components are not getting stable power.
We can continue with more steps to see if anything else is slowing the system down while you work on replacement of the PSU.

Is the system running any more stable yet? You didn't say which OS you have so I am including instructions on how to run the following program in XP, Vista and Win7



Go to
Start and then to Run
Type in Chkdsk /r Note the space between k and /
Click Enter …It will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot…click Y
If the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operation
This one will take longer then chkdsk /f

Note… there are 5 stages…
It may appear to hang at a certain percent for a hour or more or even back up and go over the same area…this is normal…
DO NOT SHUT YOUR COMPUTER DOWN WHILE CHKDSK IS RUNNING OR YOU CAN HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS
This can take several hours to complete.
When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Reboot after your done running chkdsk /r…
then Go to Start…Run and type: eventvwr.msc press Enter
When Event Viewer opens, click on Applications… then scroll down to Winlogon and double-click on it. This is the log created after running Checkdisk…copy and paste the log back here


We will advise after studying the log.






Tutorial for running chkdsk in Vista\Win 7 located HERE.

Well I am running, Windows 7. Will post the chkdisk result soon.

Sorry but there is no log there…. I saw the whole process of chkdisk….only one bad file sector was there….after it finished again chkdisk started it said volume is clean….bu after it started it hanged for a few moments again….

Hanging where exactly?

Just at the start of the desktop, when programs are loading…..and sometime anytime in b/w using comp.

OK when windows loads how long from the time you log on till the desktop completely loads?

Also please get me the following screenshot. Make sure everything in the upper right window can be seen please.



Go to Start then to Run
Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On left side click on Disk Management
On right side you will see you hard drive.
Now I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop
Make sure the window is open all the way so I can see everything on the top right window.


Attach it to your next reply

Sorry for the late reply!

OK I see from your screenshot you are getting close to the upper level of minimum free space on your C partition.
Let me ask is just the OS installed on that partition or are there programs that you may not need or use anymore installed on that partition?

Might be! Should I uninstall them?

An average W7 OS with up-to-date updates, plus all average programs should take up no more space on C: than 15 to 17GB. Your C; drive is showing 63.27GB of used space! My W7 OS plus 47 programs, but no personal data ( automatically gets re-directed to my D: drive, my largest drive) takes up 15.53 GB, so you must have a lot of private data (videos, music. games, pictures etc) on it and a large chunk of it needs to be moved to another drive, unless you have some truly massive programs installed on C: (?).

Uninstall what you don't use or need and lets see if that will not only open free space but also help speed things up a little more. When you are done uninstalling make sure to run the Defrag again to just make sure everything is in order again.

Many Adobe(Photoshop, premiere, etc) as well as Auto desk Autocad, Maya etc.
I ran Tree professional, most of the place is taken b Bitdefender, and commonfiles of adobe.

I have got the free space upto 27 gb, but still there is lag. Maybe i should work on that PSU.

Good News that, Auslogics Defrag is working, C is just 1% defragmented. But other are 10-15 % should i choose the option defrag and optimize?
