Laptop taking a bit to wakeup from sleep - Toshiba Satellite

[compguy786]

Guys,

I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6898. Its about 2.5 years old, no viruses, no crap ware etc.

Laptop when put to sleep, takes about a min or 2 to wake up. I keep on thinking that the HDD is about to go out, but i ran chkdsk, defrag and got nothing out of it. I had wiped my computer clean and reinstalled Windows 7. After that it was fine, but it started happening again later on.

I think a windows update may be at fault, because i system restored it a week earlier and it would turn back on right away. Any clue as to why its taking longer than usual to wake up ?

Thanks

Are you sure it is only sleeping and not hibernating? The symptoms are more akin to hibernation.

Always set to sleep. If it was hibernation, W7 always ends up saying system resume or something.
