Niggabanana Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 My computer starts acting weird and my Hard Drive seems to be the problem. I left my PC on sleep mode last night and when I woke up, All of the PC's power cord and other electronics(Speaker set & printer) cords were remove from the outlets, apparently some "smart" members of the family wanted to save power by removing all plugged in appliances no matter how sensitive those things are. As I start my PC I noticed that it slower in general, after the Mobo manufacturer logo appears a cmd-like blackscreen with white dash appears for a couple of seconds, after that a slow "Please wait" for at least a minute appears and after i logged in my password, another slow startup appears.Also all of the programs starts slower now and some of these program like GPU tweak didn't startup automatically when it should be.I did some basic scans for suspicion of virus, rootkits and TDSS aren't detected and a deep scan is going underway.I also did a chkdsk but no errors are found, did the same process using a 3rd party software and it gave the same result.Did check the hardware and it seems that the HDD is the only that "In my hunch" is damaged.This is the first time my Hard drive acted like this after a year and 4 months and sure hope that it's not a bad sector but this is a first time i've seen this type of error other than the notorious symptoms of bad sectors.My specs:Intel i-5 4440 @ 3.0 Ghz - 3.4Ghz turbo.MSI B85M-p33 Motherboard @ default BIOSAntec VP450P PSUAsus GTX 750Ti 2GB GDDR5 128-bitToshiba 1TB Hard drive @ 7200RPMKingston Hyper-X Fury 16GB(8x2 sticks)Asus CD/DVD-rom driveUpdate: Looks like Registry worms are the cause. I was scanning for registry fragmentation when i noticed how slow the scan takes. Usually it's just 1-3 minutes but the scan lasted for 2 hours straight.
swmas Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 What's a registry worm? Maybe you should run ccleaner and do a defragmentation.

Maybe you should run ccleaner and do a defragmentatIon I've done all of the software-based cleaning and maintenance like virus and malware removal, disk cleanup & defrag etc. Well registry worm viruses as said attacks your PC registry, i just found this one after talking to my colleagues earlier, we've run every diagnostic tools so this might be a "hunch" so i'm still asking for help :/
Slorm Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Have you tried sfc /scannow to check for system file corruption?
windpl Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 It very could be hardware failure. As last resort you could try disabling hibernation and deleting hiberfil.sys. I have no idea if that will change anything. But knowing Murphys laws it could.
