  1. Computer randomly completely freezes and effectively stops working.


    I've had this computer for around a month now, and lately 3-4 days ago my computer has started to randomly freeze. When it freezes, it does not stop freezing. The only way to stop it from freezing is to manually turn off the computer in person by pressing the off button for 5 seconds. It's not a problem with my monitor. Going into event view yeilds a critical error with:"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed

  2. Windows 10 freezes randomly


    I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
    Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin
    I had tried that as well... no result.
