    Computer freezes with cursor working, then cursor freezes and the screen flashes black then...


    I’ve been having an issue where my computer screen will freeze, followed by the cursor freezing, then the computer will flash black and start working again. It starts this about 15 minutes after turning the computer on and repeats every 1-2 minutes. I have a really spec PC and cooling so I think it’s software involved.

    Laptop freezing then black screen with cursor

    This has been an on/off issue with my laptop. It's a Lenovo IdeaPad 330S 15in, the i7 with GTX1050 variant. The OS is Windows 10. It runs perfectly well almost all the time, but there are those random, occasional moments when it just freezes before going
    black screen with a visible cursor. I've tried Crtl+Alt+Del, but all I get is the blue circling cursor. It disappears after manually restarting, but that doesn't prevent it from happening. Any idea on what to do to prevent it, or do I have to reset the laptop?

    Cursor freezes

    I changed the appearance of the cursor in windows 10. Since then the cursor freezes after 3-4 seconds of inactivity. I have to click either of the two buttons to unlock it. How get it to stop freezing?
