Windows 7 keeps getting stuck until restart is rerquired

ruvi · May 8, 2019

Hi
I've been having this issue lately where the Windows 7 (64) is working fine, until all of the sudden It just get stuck, and the only option would be to restart the computer.
I've tried isolating it to specific tasks but just couldn't find any cause.
I tried to run sfc /scan now. and it tells me some issues can not be resolves.
I really need assistance.
See attached the sfc log file.

Thank you all!!

This corruption is unrelated to slowness, please start with HDD checks:

GSmartControl
Follow the instructions below to check your SMART status with GSmartControl:

Download the portable version of GSmartControl and save it on your Desktop;
Extract the zip file to your Desktop. Open the folder gsmartcontrol-1.1.3-win64 which should be located on your Desktop and double-click gsmartcontrol.exe to launch the program.
Identify your drive in the list (if recognized by the tool), and hover your mouse over it.
You should see something called: SMART status. It will either read: Enabled, in which case you should do the following:
Double-click on it to bring up its window (usually you'll find your drive by its size or its brand name);
Go to the Self-Tests tab, then select Extended Self-test in the Test type drop-down list and click on Execute (this test can take a few hours to complete);
Once the test is over, the results will be displayed at the bottom of the window. Please copy and paste these results in your next reply or take a screenshot;
Also, go in the Attributes tab and if you have any entries highlighted in red or pink, take a screenshot of the GSmartControl window and attach it in your next reply;
Please note: If the SMART Status reads: Unsupported, stop and let me know.

Hi and thank you for your reply
The test was completed without errors, not there's an red\purple attribute in the attributes tab.
On odd thing, I was running the test, and left the computer to run it for an hour, when I came back it seemed as if the computer was stuck and the test was at 40% only.
so I reset it, and thought to run the self test again, but when I opened the app, it said that the test was completed (100%) without error.
I'm attaching the log of the scan.

Thanks for your help

Take a screenshot of the red item, please.

There are none, not red or pink items

Would you like to upgrade to Windows 10?

Thanks for your response
I prefer not to, as I have an old recording card I suspect won't work with windows 10....
an E-MU 4040 card.

Thanks

Please don't create additional threads for the same issue.

What exactly is slow?

ruvi · May 11, 2019

apologies
The UI just hangs... it seems that in the background apps continue to work but you can't access any of them, can't switch between windows, can't use shortcut to open the task manager. Nothing.
The only thing I can do is to force reboot.
