    I recently reinstalled win 7 on my pc as it had been a long time since I'd last done it.

    One of the reasons for doing it was that benches on my 840 evo were below what they should have been and once I had completed the reinstall they were back where they should be,

    The only thing is when I bring the pc out of sleep, once I see the desktop I can't do anything for up to 10 seconds, the mouse pointer moves and if I click on anything nothing happens, well I say nothing, whatever I click on happens but only after about 10 secs when the system becomes responsive.

    Is it worth reinstalling as I never had this issue before, one thing worth mentioning is I did update the firmware to the latest before I reinstalled.

    Did you update the disk controller/chipset driver? I had such problems on a system until I installed the proper intel drivers... the MS generic ones included on OS are sometimes odd this way I find.

    Yeh I did this.

    I must admit I hadn't done so in the past though.

    I will scan again though and make sure all is well.

    Are you 100% it's resuming from sleep and not hibernation? Try disable with " powercfg -h off " from admin cmd, reboot and check it again.

    RST service takes an age to start running if that makes any difference.

    Do you have any mechanical drives in the PC? My PC can be a bit slow to wake [but still not 10 seconds slow iirc], and most of that is waiting for the HDDs to spin up...

    Yes I have one hdd but I can't see it being that as the OS is on the SSD and it wasn't doing it before the reinstall.
