Hi There,
so I'm currently Experiencing 2 issues. I dont know if they are related or not so I'm posting in the same thread.
1. When I Open Device Manager It's much slower than it should be. WHile its loading the hardware list It will stop responding ( you can see " not responding" in the window bar. After 30 seconds- 1 minute it responds again and the list of device/hardware shows up. There are no Yellow exclamation points showing up in the list. If I try to do a "Scan for hardware change" or if the list tries to Refresh The Device manager will completely Crash. and I get a window pop up that says " Microsfot Management Console has stopped working" No error code Nothing. Just a button that says Close program.
2. The other issue is Recently my external Buffalo Drive ( HD-GDU3) usb 3 Stops working after a certain amount of time. It just disconnects but you dont hear the Disconnecting sound. I don't notice it disconnects until it Freezes my computer. The only way to unfreeze the computer is to Unplug the drive IF I plug it back in It works Again for a short amount of time. WHen it Stops working Its still up in device manager and There is a Drive letter for it. If i click the drive letter nothing happens. Again I have to unplug it and replug it and it will work for a shot amount of time until it Disconnects/stops working again.
The drive Itself works Fine. i've tested it on several other computers ( both mac and PC) and this issue does no happen at all. Only happens on this computer. ITs not going into idle/ hybernate mode I've turned all that off in power management i think) . I've also unchecked the allow to Turn off/idle in power management of the USB hub...
This is Driving me Crazy. Not sure If these 2 issues are related
I would like to avoid having to do any kind of Fresh install/ reformat. But i understand if its unavoidable.
My build is:
-Windows 8.1 media center ( updated to the latest updates) 64 bits
-32 gigs of ram
-Intel Core i7-4930k 3.40 ghz.
-two samsung ssd drives ( 256 gb and 512 gb) , two hitachi 7200 rpm drives ( 3 tb each)
- usb 3.0 buffalo HD-GDU3
any help would be greatly appreciated.
