Hi!  Lucky me it's been a few years since I have had problems with my Asus, Windows 10 laptop.  As per your instructions I downloaded aswMBR.exe . I have run it 4 times, each time after 3-4 minutes running I get:

 

"your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you"

 

All 4 times the error is: stop code: DRIVER_IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

 

What failed: awsMBR.sys

 

So I gave up and moved on to FRST - I downloaded Farbar recovery scan tool 64 bit - I ran it successfully, I have attached the two TXT files.

 

Symptoms I have had is at first, I thought my power button was beginning to fail. So I started using SLEEP mode to avoid using the power button.  Then it began to not wake up from SLEEP.  I googled it and followed these instructions:

 

How to Fix Windows 10 "Not Waking from Sleep" Issues on Asus Laptops
  • Scroll down the list of devices until you see "System Devices". Click on the chevron to expand this list.
  • Find the Intel® Management Engine Interface. Right-click on it and choose "Disable" or "Disable device".

 

 

This laptop worked like a dream. It always woke up and ran smooth.  UNTIL this morning. At 5:30 am EST, it appeared to wake up from SLEEP, I always have to press ESC to back out of the START screen.  But this morning, I pressed ESC and google would not come up.  The screen background went white. My mouse no longer functioned.  CTRL-ALT-DEL did not work.  Holding the power button down had no effect.  After one hour, it came out of it's coma and shut down. I went for a second cup of coffee and cam back and his the power button.  Nothing.  Took another 30 minutes or so so complete the restart.  I went to google, slowly it came up.  Found WTT and tried to follow your instructions to run aswMBR.exe 4 times.  It always stopped running after 3-4 minutes, showed the fatal blue screen and:

 

STOP CODE DRIVER_IRQL_NOT LESS OR EQUAL

 

I moved on to FRST -  it ran successfully and I have attached the 2 files.

 

To recap - original problem thought to be the power button, 2nd problem, waking up from SLEEP mode.

Now I'm not sure if I am a victim of malware or a hardware problem.  Please help me.

 

Desperate in Pittsburgh,

 

Dar

Looks like something reset your computer policies.
Do note that there could be hardware issues on the computer too.

We might need to temporarily disable Webroot SecureAnywhere to run the fix I created.

Start Farbar Recovery Scan Tool with Administrator privileges
(Right click on the FRST icon and select Run as administrator)

highlight on the text below and select Copy.

Looks good.
Your machine had a lot of bloatware. Good news about that is it was preinstalled by your computer manufacturer.

You have a very outdated version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware version 2.2.1.1043
The latest is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware version 3.83

Go to your control panel, add/remove programs and uninstall the version you have now.

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Here


Once installed then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
If threats are detected, click the Apply Actions button. You will now be prompted to reboot. Click Yes.
Once the scan is completed click on the Export Summary button and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find, and attach that log on your next reply.

Save the file to your desktop and include its content in your next reply.

You can access the logs by going in the "Reports" tab, clicking on the latest "Scan" entry (the one with detection's), then clicking on the "Export" button in the bottom-left corner and select "Copy to clipboard". After that, all you have to do is paste it here

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/list]

  • Double-click on the esetimage.png you just downloaded.
  • Place a checkmark next to "YES, I accept the Terms of Use" and click the shieldstart.png button.
  • Click "Yes" to the UAC (User Account Control) warning, then ESET will download its components, register itself, and start itself.

  • Then click Advanced settings, and make sure there is a checkmark next to only the following items (uncheck everything else):
  • Remove found threats
  • Scan archives
  • Scan for potentially unsafe applications
  • Enable Anti-Stealth technology
  • Now click on: start.png
  • The virus signature database will begin to download. Be patient this make take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection
  • When the download has completed, the Online Scan will begin automatically it could take several hours to complete the scan. Please be patient
  • When the scan has completed, click List Found Threats (only if anything is found)
  • Then click Export, and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan

When you ran MalwareBytes did you allow it to delete/quarantine what it found?

Also, want to see if any of a tool you downloaded is left, if so we'll remove it.

Please download and install Revo Uninstaller from here
https://www.bleeping...vo-uninstaller/
  • Right click Revo Uninstaller and select Run as administrator
  • From the list of programs double click on the listed program(s), or anything similar, to remove it (if it exists)
Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android
  • Click Yes to any warning screen that may appear
  • If presented with the program uninstall option click Uninstall
  • If asked to restart now click No
  • Under Scanning Modes select Advanced then select Scan
  • On the Found leftover Registry items window click Select All, Delete, then Yes
  • If prompted click on Next
  • On the Found leftover files and folders window click on Select all, Delete, Yes, OK on any warning screen, then Finish
  • Reboot your computer if requested
===================================================

How's your computer now?

I did lte Malaware to clean, quarentine, etc.

 

Is Malaware strangling Legacy?

 

I will run Revo uninstaller now.

 

I thought I had sent a response to this using my phone on my way to Walmart.

 

I have an issue with Legacy, my genealogy program.  When I do a search within it program, it runs like a snail, then it froze up.  I had to crash it with the Task Manager..  Did something get removed that this program needs to run?  Legacy showed me "not responding" 4 times. I got so mad, I left for Walmart.

 

Before I left I backed out of Legacy, closed my google chrome and put it into sleep mode and put on my coat and came back to the lap top, I wanted to check my bank balance.  I could not wake it up.  I thought perhaps the device I disabled perhaps got enabled. I tried crt-alt-del, no luck.  I tried the power button, nothing.  I left for walmart.

2 hours later, I come home and this laptop has the power button lit, I tried to wake it up, no luck.  I held the power button down and i heard it shut down.

 

I brought my walmart bags into the kitchen, and came over and pressed the power button, and it did reboot.

 

I brought up Legacy, tried a name search, and it moves slower than a snail to load, etc.  It is definitely missing something.

 

Can you tell me what my problem was with this pc?  Was I strangled by adware, etc?

Your computer had an average amount of adware but, not of the most malicious kind.

Not sure why your 'Legacy' program isn't working cause going back over logs of items removed, nothing shows that might be related.

Now not wanting to boot or going at a snails pace can be issues not related to malware at all.

Let's try using a tool that should be already on the computer
Read over the below.

Let's see if the above can help, if not I'll have to send you over to the tech forum and see if the guys there can straighten this out.

This scan was shorter than I thought it would be.  Nothing.

 

I would like to close all my windows, and put it into sleep mode.  And then come back after a few minutes and try to wake it up by pressing the space bar.  Sometimes it would come up as soon as I lift the lid.  So here goes.

 

Wish me luck!

OK, I can see there were no good results running that scan.
What I suggest now is to open a new topic here
https://forums.whatt...p?showforum=126

Post as you did here:

Symptoms I have had is at first, I thought my power button was beginning to fail. So I started using SLEEP mode to avoid using the power button. Then it began to not wake up from SLEEP.
The screen background went white. My mouse no longer functioned.
CTRL-ALT-DEL did not work. Holding the power button down had no effect.
After one hour, it came out of it's coma and shut down. I went for a second cup of coffee and cam back and his the power button. Nothing. Took another 30 minutes or so so complete the restart. I went to google, slowly it came up.

 
Wait for one of the tech guys to answer and if you like you can supply a link to this topic.

Not much luck on the new posting.  This problem must of stumped them all!!

 

Today when I came home from work, I could not wake up my laptop.  I had to hold the power button down for a LONG time before it would shut down. I gave it  5 min and turned it back on, which takes a while...I truley believe the power button is dying on me, that is why I choose to use SLEEP MODE, this puts less wear and tear on that power button.  But, hardly helps if I can't wait it up from sleep mode!!!!  I can't win.  

 

there has to be a way to wake it up from sleep mode.  

 

I also noticed that I can no longer utilize the Search icon and the Cortana icon on my task bar.  I hate Cortana, and I don't use it.  However, I do use the SEARCH icon.  

 

Can you help with that?

I hope someone can see that soon,  holidays are upon us so that might be a factor.

Myself I dont work off a Windows 10 machine so not sure what I post can help.

Researching shows me 2 links to look/read over.
