Windows 10: Computer freezes when idle a few minutes

HP Laptop with Windows 10 Operating system freezes or locks up when sitting idle for a few minutes. First noticed while watching Netflix, video was stuck and there was a buzzing noise. Trying changing browsers, no difference. Next happened while listening to Pandora. Now have noticed it happening when computer left idle for a few minutes. No response to keystrokes or mouse. Have to hold on/off button down to turn off.

Windows 10 freezes/deadlocks after being left idle for a few minutes

I have done all of what you suggested, and it still freezes when idle for a few minutes. I have just performed a 1 hour + download. Five minutes later, while the computer was idle, Windows 10 froze.

 

Computer freezes when idle

I started having this freezing issue about 3 months ago and is quite annoying. Whenever my computer is on idle from anywhere from 5 minutes to 14 hours my computer has a chance that it will freeze. Happened before Windows 10 and also with my original Windows
7 copy and reinstalled Windows 7.

Hi, i just upgraded to windows 10 and i am having an issue.

No matter what is on my screen, after a few minutes of being left idle my computer deadlocks(i think that is what it is called). I have to turn off the computer by holding the power button on the computer. I would really like some help.

Thank you
