Alright that sounds good to me. Thank you very much for all of your help, I really hope this clean install will work. I just have to find the external hard drive to back up all of the music and such...

I'm not sure about that. It did come with a D: drive (just C: partitioned) but it was called 'Data' and it is empty, I think. There is just 1 folder inside of it called 'msdownld.tmp' but inside of...

I had a second monitor plugged in at some point in time and I upgraded to Windows 10 not long after it came out.

I think I'll go with that suggestion and clean install Windows. I messed around...

Yeah, I was unable to boot at all. I would get the Asus screen when I press the power button, the little thing would spin and spin and spin and then get the blue screen. After the checkup was done,...

I'll go ahead and disable the hibernation mode and see if I notice any big difference. As for the task manager, everything seems normal. Dropbox is kind of high, because it updates as soon as someone...

I cleaned the fan around June/July. I'll open it again and take a closer look, I didn't open it for the fan, I replaced the wireless receiver.

The software I removed were AVG and about 4-6 school...

Here are the different variety of the errors,

distributedCOM (quite a few), one has {} and the other has just random letters and numbers.

Hey, sorry for the late response, I got caught up with school. After shutting down a few times and listening to the beep, I think you're right it sounds like it's coming from the fan area.

I did...

I'll read through that entire post on those 4 service control manager services tomorrow. Those 4 errors I got on this last shutdown. Usually there is a timeout error with Font Cache and SQLEXPRESS.

I had the ATK package. I followed your link just to be sure and when i ran the setup it only had a repair and uninstall option, so I went with the repair, everything went smoothly.

Here is the...

As far as I was concerned all of the drivers were up to date. The main one that updated was the Intel HD 4600. Then there were a bluetooth driver, some Radio Wireless Control, and other less common...

I was just looking at the device manager and there were a couple of drivers not up to date, so I'm going through all and checking every single one of them. Is there a faster way of updating all of...

Here is what I got out of the diagnostics. I expanded the summary and main one, I'm not sure what I should be looking for.

It's mainly on the shut down. The boot up seems OK. However when shutting down it's a little slow when shutting down to a black screen. When it gets to the black screen (basically when the screen...

I'm removing all of the programs that I'm not using, I'll report back with those 2 system diagnostic tools.

Thanks Tairiku, I'll give that a shot.

I keep the startup services in check. The only one with a high impact is the NVIDIA graphics card. Then AVG and 1 or 2 others have a medium impact, about 6...

I checked the CPU with all of the programs closed and it was at a pretty stable 3-6%. However I had one occasion where it was off the roof with 80%+. I checked the processes and it was a 'Windows...

That service was set to automatic. The only service that I changed was the Bonjour service, but i changed back at some later date. Here are the 2 critical events. One is in the popup window and the...

I just got a lot of errors for shutdown but no specific information. On the boot up information I got a little more out of it, but I'm not sure what it means, here it means.

I know what you're talking about (I think), that screen when you try to shut down or restart and on the bottom there are 2 options, force restart or cancel. I don't get that screen though. I have...

Hello, long time viewer, first time poster. I'm a huge fan of the Windows 10, I love it, however recently I've gotten my first glimpse of the buggy side. The computer (pretty decent) is taking a very...
