Problem:
Every time I boot my Notebook Windows freezes for 5-20 minutes.
The booting process and Login works without a Problem. But when I start the first program Windows and the program freezes. It does not matter which program I start (VLC, Internet Explorer, Thunderbird, Windows Picture Viewer, Control Panel) everything stops. Installations stop, the Task bar does not function, I cannot go to the Windows start Screen, everything freezes. After 5-20 minutes all things I have clicked on start at the same time.
After the first freeze there are no further Problems. Only when I restart the Problem occurs again.
Interestingly, when I start Windows out of Energy saving mode, the Problem does not occur. The Problem does also not occur in safe mode.
Summary:
1) Booting Windows - no Problem
2) Logging in - no Problem
3) starting first program - 5-20 minutes freeze
4) after the freeze - no Problem
What have I tried?
1) I reset my Notebook to factory Settings for 3 time within the last month
2) I performed a complete Virus scan
3) I have tried different Browsers and anti Virus Software (I first thought that Software caused the Problem)
4) I have tried different operating Systems: Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, Windows 8.1
5) I reset my BIOS Settings
6) I uninstalled Intel Rapid Storage Technology
7) I performed a Windows disk error check twice
8) I defragmented my partitions
9) I updated Sound and graphic Drivers
10) I booted in safe mode and uninstalled Sound Drivers
11) I disabled / enabled programs using msconfig and CCleaner
12) I started the Task Manager right after the Login to see if a program causes the freeze. All running applications become "inactive" and then the Task Manager freezes, too.
What does Google say?
1) Problems with the power supply of the graphic Card
2) Problems with the power supply of the Sound Card
3) Problems with HDD
4) Problems with Drivers
5) Problems with BIOS
6) ???
How can you help me?
I have already contacted the manufacturer of my Notebook and they want me to send it in. Unfortunately, it will take a Minimum of 14 days for them to check my Notebook plus shipping days. Therefore, I do want to try everything possible to fix the Problem myself. Since I ran out of Options what to do I am seeking for help.
So, what are possible causes of my Problem? Have you had or heard of similar Problems?
How can I fix it?
Here are my notebook's specifications (if you Need further Information, please let me know):
