    Computer freezes when idle


    Hello,Ive been experiencing a very wierd issue on my computer. Whenever i boot up and let my computer run idle, the screen will freeze and i wont be able to do anything but hold down power and restart it. Sometimes it will freeze after 4 minutes, sometimes after running idle for 2 hours. The strange thing is that my computer will NOT do this while i am gaming even when on on high graphics setting, playing starfield or destiny 2. In event viewer, i get event 10016, distibuted com, which ive been told is not a big issue. Its always the issue that appears before my screen freezes though.

    :)

    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.
