My Asus ux32vd is having problems for 3 years now. It all started after the warranty expired, all problems occurred at the same time.
- needs 10-15 minutes to start up
- crashes whenever it goes into standby/sleep. After restarting it boots with the following blue screen error message: Driver_Power_State_Failure. Disabled all sleep/standby and try to not take it off the charger whenever it's running
- doesn't shut down fully. The screen switches off, but something keeps on running inside. After a while this stops and computer starts with above blue screen at the next boot. Usually press the start button long to shut it down fully once the screen is switched off. Then the next day it starts normally.
- in device manager Intel WiUSB - USB-IF xHCl USB Host Controller shows an error since the same time. Nothing changes if I disable this in the device manager.
=> did several new installs with and without internet/automatic driver update. Nothing changed. Hardware tests always come back clear. Never played with the Bios as I don't know what I'm doing.
Not long ago I found my C-drive to be very full and I deleted old firefox profiles, lots of internet files, deinstalled software I don't need and got rid of a massive amount of itunes backups. Decided to disable Hiberfil.sys via command prompt to create a bit more space, and as all sleep/hibernate/etc doesn't work anyway. Suddenly the computer shuts down properly for the first time in 3 years. No other problems vanished.
Fast forward the last few days my computer starts either with it's usual slow pace, or goes straight to the Bios, out of which I only get with pressing the start button. Afterwards it boots just fine, and slow as always.
Basically: Any ideas? I can run more hardware tests and tools if you like and can look up things if you tell me how and where. I'm waiting for the release of one of two new laptops in the UK (weeks, probably) and then this one really gets binned. But until then it needs to hold on.

). I just ordered the Lenovo from Amazon to see whether I like it enough and then potentially wait for the Kaby Lake version to have more machines to chose from.
