Asus Laptop Freezing

[Paraplyet]

Okey, I cant give so much info about this but I will try my best. And if you wanna know something more just ask and I will try to answer!

 

So, My friend recently formated his Asus Laptop to Windows 7 Pro from Windows 10.

And now its working faster, but now its freezing alot.

Like it gets the blue screen sound and he cant do anything with the computer for 2-4 minutes. And when it comes back to normal state its like that for maybe around 20-30 min and it happens again.

I have tryed to use MBAM, Hitman Pro, ESET, AdwCleaner to look if it is somekind of virus. And nope, Nothing found.

CCleaner, Windows Disk Tools, Nope nothing helps there.

Updated all of the drivers that I could find, Nope.

 

So, I dont really know what the problem is. Its from 2013 I think so its not so super old.

Please help me about this. 

 

EDIT: Sorry if I put it on the wrong place. Im new here and if you need to move it do it.

Laptops generally have a lifespan of around 3 years, with some managing 5. So it's getting pretty much to the end of it's life now. I'd look into a replacement hard drive (SSD would be best) and maybe some new RAM.

Somethings probably fudged. Could be a driver, or who knows.

I'd check the DPC latency, and see if any of the drivers are taking up a lot of processor time.

 

I've had similar issues, honestly, and I can never really link it to anything. Not like utilization goes up or anything, Windows just takes a nap.

The DPC Latency is good so its nothing with that.... But I think it could be some driver issue

Yeah, I think you might be right. But I changed the SSD before he formated it.... and he has 8gb of ram

I take it you've probably run a disk check and an system files check?

Anything in particular triggering this? Most of the times I've seen it, it's usually opening or manipulating explorer windows.

Oh wow that's a bit rough.. Maybe take a look at event viewer and see if anything is going weird? Especially strange on a fresh install.

It's all built-in. Go into disk properties, and under tools you'll have access to the disk check utility. System file check is just "sfc /scannow" in Command Prompt. You can run disk check from Command Prompt as well if you prefer by using "chkdsk /f C:".

 

There is one little quirk Windows 10 used to have, don't know if it's still a thing, but there was an option to receive tips about Windows or something. I'll try to find out some more specifics here, just too lazy to walk to the other room.

 

Edit: Under the W10 Settings>System>Notifications uncheck "receive tips and tricks about Windows". It used to cause some people a lot of problems. Doubt it's causing this particular issue, but hey, we've got the buttons, we may as well press 'em.

sfc /scannow in command prompt with admin permissions.
