  1. Computer completely freezes every few hours


    Hello. I made a post a little while ago. It has gotten much worse since. Every few hours, my pc gets rlly laggy and then freezes after 30 seconds. In the task manager disk usage is always at 100%. Always from different things, but usually, service host: sysmain and System itself are the main culprits. I'm posting from my phone because my pc is so laggy. Sysmain is at 17.3mb/s right now. The other post I made said to switch out my HD with and SSD. Would this work? I don't want to spend the money just for it to not work. This problem has affected like every pc I have ever had. I don't have any viruses on my computer to my knowledge I did a deep AVG scan. Could AVG also be making me lag? Please help I just want to use my computer

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Computer completely freezes every few hours :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Computer completely freezes every few hours

    Computer hangs up/freezes when running certain apps

    Hello

    A few weeks ago my computer started completely freezing. When those freezes occur the computer is totally unresponsive and requires a reboot, however they only happen when running certain programs.

    Windows Version number : 1903
    When does it happen?
    • Playing youtube videos (takes a few minutes to freeze on average)
    • Starting certain games (freezes on startup)
    • Answering discord calls
    And i discover new sources all the time so i doubt this is a complete list.

    What did i try so far?
    • Updating the drivers (didn't try to update the BIOS yet but reset it to default)
    • Sfc / chkdsk
    • OCCT (both CPU and GPU test, neither overheated/froze the computer)
    • memtest x86 (4 passes 6 hours, no errors)
    • Swapping GPU (RX-480)

    By this point i was a bit lost so i tried using windows event viewer to no avail.

    As a last attempt i tried to install windows on a new harddrive but the computer froze during installation.

    I'm completely lost and don't know whether my hardware is failing or if it's some kind of software issue.
