I just did a fresh 7 home pro install on a brand new caviar black harddrive. The rest of the system (hardware) has been run 2 years without any issues. A week ago I got some type of malware virus that corrupted the hard drive/windows system files so I just bought a new HD off the store shelf and started all over.
Since windows 7 defaults the hibernate feature ON in power settings which I had forgot about, the system kept going to sleep on me. It was late and I said oh whatever, I'll turn it on in the morning. About 9 hours later I turn it on, and it comes back on like normal; however trying to open any program resulted in an unusual 1+ minute delay. I was impatient and kept opening more things to see what would/wouldn't work, (notepad, calculator, slow programs that should be almost instant.) It ended up crashing to a blue screen. Now there's no reason with the processing power I have for that to happen (i5-750, 8gb ram) so Im wondering what this could be. Is windows inherently slow after coming back from hibernate? I've turned off the power saver settings and haven't had a problem since, but curious why it happened.
Since it's both a fresh windows install/fresh HD i wouldn't blame the hardware. Is there any way to check the logs or crash files or whatnot to possibly learn what it was or should I just "move along" as the police like to say.
