Windows 10: After Installing Windows 10, Freezes At Random Times

You can always update again later, this is just a test to see if makes a difference by using the manufacturers recommended driver.

 

Okay sounds good. I will try it and post back here what the results are.

 

I am still freezing up same way, through the browsers at random times, doesn't matter what website.

 

OK, time to do some more tests and troubleshooting. I am not sure if this is a browser issue of if it is simply that you use browsers a lot and that puts stress on your PC.

There are some stress tests you can run for the CPU and GPU that will find out if your system has a problem.

Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU

FurMark - GPU Stress Test

You should also test your memory to make sure that it is not faulty: MemTest86+ - Test RAM

Work your way through these tests and report back.

 

1. Stress Test of CPU had no errors on both cores. I let is pass over 5 times for that.
2. GPU test I was unsure of what to look for hahaha, but it seemed to go fine? Here is an image.




3. The memory test went all fine too with no errors, and yes I let it go more than 8 times.

 

The memory test normally takes several hours to run 8 passes so I'm not sure what you did? Refer to the screenshot below, you need to wait until you see 8 in the pass box highlighted.





The Prime95 test should also be run for 3 hours, if you read the tutorial you will see this and also the warning to check on temperatures.

Similarly for the GPU test.

 

I don't have that kind of time because it is a business computer, my dad's main computer he uses. I really don't think it has anything to do with the CPU, RAM or GPU. They all worked fine on Windows 7 and never had one issue.

Edit: It seems to freeze once at the beginning of the day and then doesn't do it for the rest of the day. Could there be a problem with sleep mode?

 

OK, I understand. Your comment about it only happening at the start of the day is relevant. I'm guessing that you have Fast startup activated and so the PC only ever does a hybrid shutdown. After a freeze, the PC will do a forced restart and then probably works fine for the rest of the day.

I would turn off Fast startup and see if it makes a difference. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...dows-10-a.html

 

Okay I changed that option and we will see what happens. I will respond with results.

 

Computer has frozen twice this morning, so no fix.

 

The freezing seems to be occurring within 5-10 minutes of using the Internet after the computer boots up (enter password).
