windows stalling with P7P55DD-E
I am having a strange problem which I think might be hardware related.
maybe someone can tell me if they know anything about this. I am running Windows 7 x64 on a P7P55D-E. the system was working fine and then it started stalling, meaning that anything I did would take anywhere between 15 seconds to 1 minute to respond. At first I thought I had a virus so I ran 2 different scanners which found nothing. well I backup every other night so I blew my system away and did a clean install. The system was back to normal. I installed all of the updates including sp1 and security updates. At this point the system was working fine. The following day I got the same problem. This happened 2 more times. I now have yet another fresh install and I am going to go a week before installing sp1 and the security updates to see if the updates are causing the problem. during this entire process I have not updated any of my asus drivers. so does anyone know if there are any problems this MB and any Win7 updates? thanks john |

What mode are the interfaces used in ? IDE, AHCI, RAID ? 2) Is the computer sitting on a LAN ? Do you use network shares ? Are the shares you use, all available ? Are you using multiple LAN connections ? Wireless ? Etc. 3) Do you have any peripheral devices connected ? Any printers ? Any scanners ? Are they USB connected ? Are they connected via a parallel port ? It could be some item particular to your setup, rather than just the combination of P7P55D-E and Windows 7 x64. Paul |

It could be some item particular to your setup, rather than just the combination of P7P55D-E and Windows 7 x64. Paul Paul, thanks for the reply. Here is the info I have a P7P55D-E Core i5 processor 750 @ 2.67GHz AMI bios. I have 2 WD 600GB SATA 3.0gb/s drives. No RAID or AHCI. 4 GB DDR3 Dual channel ram Windows 7 provided NVidia Geforce 450 video driver. VIA sound driver for integrated audio. I am using the realtek onboard lan. The lan is connected to a 4 port linksys wireless router There are no network shares 2 printers, 1 usb multifunction printer/scanner/fax, 1 parallel laser printer. I run Vipre anti-virus. I have a minimal software installation right now, MS Office, Acronis True Image (backup software), Firefox, and Thunderbird. I have had this system for approximately a year without any problems until now. One other note, if I boot into safe mode there is no slow down. So it is most likely a driver or software problem. I thought there might be a problem with the asus supplied drivers and sp1. |

I thought there might be a problem with the asus supplied drivers and sp1. Does the slowdown show up, if the USB printer is powered up and operational ? What happens if the printer software for the USB printer is removed and the printer disconnected ? In terms of hardware, that's the only thing that stands out. ******* Have you tried running something like Process Explorer ? Leave it running, and then see if there is any activity while the system is "slow". http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s...rnals/bb896653 ******* You can also look through the threads here, for matching symptoms. It is difficult to data mine this site - the local search doesn't work worth a darn, and due to all the crap decorating each page, searching the site with an external search engine doesn't work either. So you have to slog through the posts manually, looking for matched symptoms. http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx...Language=en-us ******* In terms of Asus-installed software, are you using any "power saver" type software ? Some of the Asus software, or things like BIOS fan speed control, may rely on System Management Mode, which allows BIOS code to be run many times a second, time sharing with the OS. The OS has no way of knowing this is going on. If there is a defect in any SMM related activity, you can only tell by noticing the system is slow. Try turning off fan control in the BIOS. Try removing any "power saver" type software, which modifies the number of phases used on Vcore. When you build a system for yourself, sometimes it is best to not bother installing the software (separate utilities) offered by the motherboard manufacturer. Some of it has issues. The drivers are OK to use, but if there is some fancy GUI thing they want you to leave running all the time, some of that stuff is best left on the motherboard CD unused. Paul |
