Hello, just signed up to ask you guys for some help.
A few months back I bought a new laptop and several weeks later I installed an SSD and moved the HDD to the CD-ROM slot (don't know if this has anything to do with my problems, but I'll just give you the complete story).

The last month or so I'm having some difficulties.. When I first booted my laptop it would startup in seconds, but now, after the Windows welcome and loading screen I get a black screen before seeing the desktop. This takes several seconds, sometimes longer than other.

My second problem is that windows freezes/crashes (the screen freezes and I can't do anything). This happens once or twice a week, thought it was random, but just now it happened when I unplugged my external usb soundcard (maybe the previous times it had the same cause, I can't remember).



So I looked at my event viewer and it shows a lot of errors, don't know if it relates, but I'll post a screen of the errors from around the time it froze.

Edit: You can see that error 1, 3, 11, 1001, 7038 and 7000 all happen when booting.

Hello.

Please download this tool http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?d53ohzo1ec6bxmw and save it to the desktop. Run it as admin and attach the produced archive. If the archive size is over 1MB, upload it here www.speedyshare.com

Were you getting any blue screens of death or the machine was/is just freezing?

It just freezes

At first I doubted your SSD drive, kind of prejudiced against them lol but your firmware is updated and the drive seems to be in good condition. This type of problem is usually not SSD related, anyhow.

I have a feeling your laptop may be infected with something, read these and act accordingly

You make sure to attach all the required logs and I'll ask the staff to move this thread to the virus removal board.

OTL:

It appears you have attached the same log two times, you need the aswmbr one.

Yes haha, here it is:

It didn't find anything:

Well, there are no bsods.

Event log is full of these

Code:

which are fairly ambiguous as I doubt under "block" a "sector" is assumed.

Both drives seem to be healthy

There are no logged errors, either.

You said "moved the HDD to the CD-ROM slot", what does that mean? I'd unplug that drive and see if that changes anything.

Also, right click my computer > manage > click disk management and create a screenshot of the drive layout.

Because the SSD was only 128GB, I wanted to have some extra storage> So I moved the original hard drive to the place where the CD-ROM used to be, with help of a so called caddy.

I'll try to boot without the extra drive tomorrow and see what happens.

I have edited in this bit above, you may have not noticed it.

To me it seems the system may be detecting the drive incorrectly.
