Having a really hard time nailing the culprit(s) of this issue. The following issue keeps occurring on my widows 7 studio(work) machine. The computer is kept offline except for updates and is very clean in general.
I first noticed the issue over a year ago and it happened a handful of times and then went back to normal. Didn't happen for over a year and is now happening again some of the symptoms is as follows.
- startup goes from being extremely fast to super slow with HDD light staying solid.
- when Windows starts if HDD light stays solid sometimes the mouse will completely freeze
- for some reason when this's issue occurs iTunes does not open
- when it happens network connections does not connect - also the shortcut for my network connection acts funny when right clicking to enable/disable.
- one of my cd drives does not appear in my computer or devices.
- sometimes completely freezes on startup and I have to hard reset numerous times. If it goes to repair disk nothing happens I need to restart where it goes to start Windows normally which usually fixes the issue for the next session.
After this it will run flawlessly. When it does run it runs great.
I have tested the hard drives and checked for error both using Windows and sea tools - all looks ok. I've disconnected certain devices to eliminate them.. The issue occurs at random times and I'm so confused as to what it may be but it's really holding me back from work.
Does any of this sound familiar ? If anyone can help before I take it to get looked at I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
