    Computer is freezing when idling


    Hey all,My computer freezes and becomes unresponsive after letting it idle. This typically happens if I boot up and leave it sit for 10-15 minutes. It does not freeze during games. Sometimes it is accompanied with a blue screen, but not always. I have ran memtest86, and there are no memory errors. I have disabled the pagefile. I have changed my SSD power saving settings to not turn off. I've ran stability tests in OCCT for my CPU + ram, and it ran the whole test no problem. The reliability center sometimes says Hardware Failure when I check it after a crash. I don't know how to tell what hard

    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.
