Windows 7 Lags

[ChurchedAtheist]

Sometimes when windows comes back from idle, it just sits there for a few minutes, and I cant use it. I checked in the event viewer and right at the time it became responsive, I find these events:

Also, under Generic PnP Monitor in Device Manager, I was getting "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)"

Uninstall the monitor from there and uninstall the GFX drivers. Try a VGA connection if you're currently using digital.

 

[ChurchedAtheist]

Do you mean to actually change the monitor? im using a laptop.

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the gfx drivers.

 

[LocutusEstBorg]

Uninstall the monitor from device manager. I meant device manager by 'there' since you mentioned it first.

What exact laptop are you using? Some branded ones often have their own quirky bugs with certain software/operating systems.

 

[ChurchedAtheist]

Hp g60-125nr

 

[EvilSeph]

When you say "idle", you mean the screensaver has initiated?

 

[yolarrydabomb]

Have you try bios upgrade?
WinFlash for HP Notebook System BIOS (for Notebooks with AMD Processors) HP G60-125NR Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

are you using factory RAM that came with it?

When you say "idle", you mean the screensaver has initiated?

I mean after the screen turns off.
