    Computer screen freezes, how do I unfreeze it?

    PC issues, Reinstalling Win 7, then upgrading to Win 10 - is it possib

    I just saw this laptop freeze this evening. It happened while my son was in Gmail and the laptop froze while he was typing. We left it frozen for quite a while but it didn't recover.

    We did try the steps suggested on the below URL to regain control, but we ended up having to do a hard boot

    How to Unfreeze a Frozen Computer in Windows 10 - dummies

    I'm just wondering, since there was a recent freeze, are there any logs that we can refer to now that might suggest what caused it to lock up. If it is something as simple as a driver needed, that would might be easier to install than reimaging as Windows 7 and then upgrading to Windows 10.

    Thank you
