Windows 10: 2020 PC System Failures

Hello,

Since summer of 2020, my windows 10 PC has been suffering from numerous critical issues following Windows updates such as system freezes, forcing manual reboots and Blue screen errors, with numerous given errors of its own ranging from: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and one about data structure at the top of my head throughout this year.

The issues mostly stopped happening around the end of summer. However, since the November update, my PC firstly began crashing on the launch of games such as Battlefront 2 and Crusader Kings 3 in the way of freezing, either during the loading of the game or in Battlefront's case, a specific amount of time into a matchAlmost a minute I think. This issue was resolved upon me updating the PC completely and updating the drivers. However, I am at a loss as to what to do, as my pc, at least every 24 hours, will either randomly freeze for no particular reason or will freeze on a daily discord session. For example, i will freeze during the discord call, forcibly reboot my PC , get back into discord, and then a minute in, it will freeze again, making me repeat the latter steps. This is usually all that happens, with no further freezes, although in some cases, the system might blue screen, but i have seen no pattern to this.

In short, my PC has been at least freezing twice , with the second happening right after the first, every day since i installed the latest windows updates, and i have tried numerous options to resolve these issues across the year, such as using command prompt, and other utility programs which could with windows. They usually report that errors have been detected and successfully resolved.

While a satisfactory permanent solution would be nice, i doubt there is one, but having an explanation as to why these occur would be of help as well. Any help would be appreciated, thanks


Edit//

I encountered a new issue today, this one happening during my discord session like the freeze, but this one instead is a sudden blackscreen, and a minute in, i would be prompted by my Monitor that it has nothing to display, even though the PC is visibly and audibly still on. Rebooting the PC seems like the workaround again and i encountered no further issues afterwards.

Notable Information:

-Custom built PC made in 2018 and unchanged since.

-Game and PC performance has been unaffected outside of the system collapses.

-As of this message, all windows updates and video card driver updates have been installed.

-If my pc randomly freezes earlier in the day, the later discord freezing never happens, as the pattern for some reason never bypasses 2 freezes per day.

- OS Build = 19042.630

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

System restore failure windows 10

Hi Jack,

I realize the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
  
• 
  In Command prompt type
  sfc /scannow and press enter.
  
• 
  Restart the computer.
  
  If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:
  

• 
  Open command prompt by pressing
  Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
  
• 
  In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

PC Build Steps

1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount
