Windows XP SP2 Standby freeze
This started happening a couple weeks ago, and I don't know what could be the
problem , suddenly one day ( It was set to stand by every hour) When I come back, and resume from stand by, I see that it takes a while longer to get the monitor on, and, finally when the screen appears, everything is frozen! so I had to do a hard shutdown (at first I waited about 10 minutes) and I restarted and tried it again, and the same thing happened. It has been happening since then and I don’t know what could be wrong. I know it's not spyware or a virus, since I have nod32 updated to the most recent virus signature, and zone alarm security suite (recently updated to the new version , I don’t know if it has nothing to do with it). The program that I think might of messed up is perfectdisk, I had recently downloaded a free trial because I was seeing a performance break and I saw that my hard disk was really fragmented, especially the system files which windows defrag doesn't work on. so I did the "smartplacement" with all files including system files (offline defrag) and the computer just got slower, and I wasn’t happy to see that my MFT zone had been messed up, leaving no space reserved, and the Sims 2 continuous with the MFT, as well as a slideshow I had opened that day (found this out later using o&o) I think it has to with that, but I’m not sure, although they did happen at very close times (offline defrag and standby freeze problem). looking in the system event viewer, all i could see at that time ,was: the following boot time drivers have failed to load: MPFIREWL and PARTIZAN, which after doing research was left even more clueless than before. I hope someone can help me , I would be very thankful! Gabriel PS. sorry if it was too long and boring, I have spent hours on trying to fix this, and I am a little sleepless! :O Again thank you for your help! |
