Notebook freezes
Nomad:
Hi Willy2
"SmartDefrag" is not scheduled at all, I only use it once a month and put it to run manually instead of buil-in Windows program because it seems to me it's much faster. Freezing never happened when it was running.
"Driver Booster" is not set to start with Windows; I rarely run it.
As I said before, memory wasn't showing full or near it every time freezing happened, normally is shows a 45-65% rate. Sometimes I saw it at 100% or close, but freezing didn't occur then.
All the optimizers I have ("Advanced SystemCare" package, CCleaner) run once a month normally and manually.
I downloaded "Gsmartcontrol", called it to run, then a BSOD happened, twice! Didn't try again.
I was looking for a SATA to USB adapter, didn't find yet.

I suppose it would not work with the disk that has the C: partition, right?

Would it work for a CHKDSK /r to C:?
Thanks again
Willy2:
- SmartDefrag & Driver Booster DO run upon startup. See your SPECCY snapshot under Task Scheduler (TS). Some programs, when run (manually), add things to TS & the startup procedure. And those things aren't removed when those programs close.
- Do you REALLY need to run ALL those programs (See TS) ? Clean out TS.
- You've got 2 anti spyware progams running. Advanced System Care & Spybot Search & Destroy. Remove Advanced System Care. I personally HATE all that IObit stuff.

If you've allowed ASC to indiscriminately clean the registry, use its Recovery option and you should be presented with a number of dates when you did run its "tune up".

Nomad:
Thank you Willy2 for the information.
I disabled "ASC", "SmartDefrag" and "Driver Booster" in "CCleaner".

Yes, I used to do that once a month, but now, as I recovered with a Macrium image, I have only the last ASC recovery session which is from April the 4th, and since then no freezing happened, so I would not do it.
This morning I had an endless "waiting moment", with the wait circle spinning around, not leting me to open some programs, like the calculator; this used to be very common too (maybe every 3 days), memory usage rate was normal, CPU usage was low; in such case I use to call task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), try to end some processes, but it never works because task manager does not ever responds.

How would it be done, just in case?
Please tell me whether is possible to run a CHKDSK of my system disk in another laptop with a SATA to USB adapter.
Thanks
