Windows 10: Entire PC freezes and does not respond to any input except for power off/back on.

This happens every now and then and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell is happening. My entire PC will occasionally just freeze. The LEDs on my peripherals will stop changing color, sound stops playing, the screen stays where it’s at, etc. If I let it sit for a while, it will restart itself but is there any way I can check a crash log or something somewhere to understand why this is happening?

PC freezes during start up

At start up, my PC freezes at the pre log on page - the screen before, and which would normally lead to, the password entry / log on screen - It shows mail accounts being updated and the digital clock display operates, but PC does not respond to any input other than to power down. PC is a Dell, about 18 months old, but I do not have system specs. Any suggestions?

 

WIndows 10 periodic hardware/software freeze

TL;DR: Every few minutes my computer's filesystem freezes, then the keyboard/mouse a minute later, then the screen ~5s later. When I change the power source everything goes back to normal.

FULL STORY: I have a new Acer Nitro 515-53 running Windows 10. Soon after getting it I started having an issue where many different systems freeze one after another. It generally happens like this:

• Elements of the Windows stops responding. There is no response when I try to open Windows search, the start menu, apps from the taskbar, etc.
  
• 30sec to several minutes afterward, the keyboard and mouse stop responding (but the screen still works).
  
• 5-10sec after that, the screen freezes.
  

The weirdest part: This is all fixed immediately if I change the power source (EITHER unplug it OR plug it in). When the power changes, it's as though all the commands I entered during the freeze get entered at once -- the mouse scurries around the screen, Windows search opens and closes, all my key inputs suddenly get entered.

It's getting pretty unbearable because at its worst this happens about once a minute. However, it sometimes stops for hours or days. (For some reason it's never happened to me while gaming, in case that matters.) I can't for the life of me find anything similar online, so I'm looking for any next steps you suggest

 

Windows Folders Randomly Freezing and Not Responding

Once in a while, some of my windows folders, irrespective of the number of files and their size randomly freezes, then shows not responding and shuts down.

When i try and open them again they do the same. over and over.

the only solutions I have found to overcome this is.

1. Restart the System.
   
2. Remove a few items from the folder.
   
3. Change the Sort by/Group by Format of the folder.
   

Can anyone suggest what may be the source of the problem; and any solutions ?
