E7440 Win 8.1 Update - Slow Performance After Resume From Sleep
I have a new Latitude E7440, the only install is office 2013. Out of the box, did windows update, did the 8.1 update.
If I put it to sleep (close the lid) and wake it up again, the system experiences slow performance - choppy youtube video, audio artifacts, Chrome and windows explorer hangs, etc. This happens on battery and plugged in.
If I do a hard restart, the issue goes away.
Once I saw an error flash from the tray saying the intel video driver had crashed and was resetting. Only caught a glimpse of it.
I tried reinstalling both video and audio drivers (including safemode-restart), including the pre-8.1 video drivers and I still get the same issue.
Anyone else having this sort of issue? Haven't found anything with search. Thanks!

Finally fixed it. Revered bios to A05, then incrementally flashed to A06, then A07.

I am actually having the same issue with slowness after I resume form sleep. The laptop gets unbearably slow if I am on any profile other than "high performance".
It is perfectly fast on the balaced and power saver profiles...until I put it to sleep and wake it up again. Then it gets slow.

Had this issue for quite a while driving my batty, was able to resolve in Windows 8.1 Pro running A15 BIOS by doing the following:
Boot to Safe Mode (Hold *** while clicking Restart - Choose Advanced Boot then Safe Mode upon Restart)
delete all files within C:\Windows\Prefetch (do not delete the ReadyBoost folder)
delete all files within C:\Windows\Prefetch\ReadyBoost
Run Disk Cleanup and delete all but Service Pack files
Reboot. (Should be fixed)
Thank you Mark Bohn @ Dell ProSupport for helping me resolve this and my IgfxTray crashes!
