Alrighty, thanks for the series of steps. I went through all of them. There is nothing wrong according to all the chkdsk commands I ran. Is it possible that my computer is not running chkdsk on startup because of a registry issue?

Wait, why shouldn't I run a defrag? Might that screw up my hard drive?

Thanks for the help guys! I booted into the installation disk and ran the chkdsk from the command line. It says the filesystem is clean. I used chkdsk /f. So is this telling me that the hard drive isn't to blame? Here's a picture of the command line: http://s1331.photobucket.com/user/niket92/media/20140121_181427_zps597ac261.jpg.html. Sorry it's a little blurry. So I guess I'll be trying to hibernate without the AV software now. When you say Intel controller do you mean that I have an Intel processor? Sorry I'm not familiar with the controller term. EDIT: Okay I tried running chkdsk with my AV software uninstalled and I'm still getting the same problem. It doesn't run when I restart my computer. I've used the Glary Utilities registry cleaner and hard disk repair and I got this back from the hard disk repair: Glary Utilities 4 is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... 376064 file records processed.

I recently upgraded to a 1TB hard drive in my Lenovo laptop and I've been having some issues. Most of the time when I go into hibernate it takes a while for my system to come back to full use. For example, my Synaptics driver wouldn't start working until probably half a minute after I've logged into Windows. I thought this might be an issue with my disk, so I tried running a chkdsk. However, when it started up again, chkdsk wouldn't run. It would start up and then say that the chkdsk was cancelled and then boot back into windows. I reinstalled Windows again and tried chkdsk and everything was fine, but hibernation would still take forever. Today I tried chkdsk again and it wouldn't work. There was the same issue as before. I tried reinstalling chkdsk, but I still have the same issues. How can I be sure this is or isn't a hardware problem?
