System runs very slowly when you wake up from sleep or hibernation occasionally.
You're experiencing performance drops around the time your PC powers down or wakes up, especially with the mouse responding very slowly. This happens roughly half the time and seems to affect stability. Despite having a high-end build, you need to power off manually and everything works again. The issue might be related to thermal throttling, power management settings, or overheating during startup. Check cooling solutions, fan speeds, and ensure proper ventilation.
They once devised a clever workaround. Windows lagged behind, drawing attention from Apple and Linux fans who joked about its sluggishness. Engineers struggled to patch the issue, so they altered the shutdown process. The computer entered a kind of hibernation rather than a full stop, saving the state on the hard drive instead of booting completely. This meant occasional full restarts were needed, with the power button handling the hibernation cycle. It’s possible your drive is experiencing this behavior more often than not. A chkdsk scan might reveal what’s going on.
Chkdsk detected no issues on my boot drive. It’s very new, just bought a month ago. The system runs extremely slowly. When I power on, the lock screen appears briefly but never completes the login. At other times it reaches the desktop, yet the mouse movement feels laggy at 3 frames per second, making it impossible to click or interact.
It seems the situation is quite inconsistent. The system appears to be running slowly rather than just restarting. A new build shouldn't have such performance problems, and the issue isn't matching with typical boot failures or a laggy mouse. I'm starting to suspect possible malware involvement. The unusual mouse behavior definitely stands out.
It's surprising to hear this, but it seems like a simple BIOS update might be the reason. Since my CPU came out after the BIOS version I was using, that could explain the problem. I'm no longer experiencing it, and my boot times are now much faster.
