Windows: Problem resuming from hibernation... due to antivirus software?
I'm having some issues with my new comp (windows 7 64-bit, i3 core i3-4130) where (almost) everytime I try to resume from hibernation, the computer will hang at the windows 7 resume animation screen.
I have spent a lot of time updating drivers, system patches, ram/hdrive/windows tests, but I may have pinpointed the problem (I think) which seems to be caused by antivirus software running in the background.
I have installed/uninstalled several brands to test this theory outl: avast, avira, bitdefender, and zone alarm. Each one seems to cause my computer to freeze up during the hibernation resume screen. When I disable real time protection for these programs, then resuming from hibernation will work about 3/4 of the time but still maybe pause for a split second while windows is loading.
So my question is, does anyone know if it's possible for antivirus software to affect windows from properly resuming from hibernation? (resuming from sleep, and cold boot works perfectly fine btw)
If so, what is the reason and any idea how to fix this?
Also, do you think this is something can be fixed with a bios update? (I don't want to do this unless I absolutely have to)
