Windows 10: Entire pc has a 5/7 second screen 2fps freeze when closing a Windows related software from...

Marry Christmas! Quick backstory of pc: Hi, I bought a pre-built windows computer. I actually bought two of the same kind. One I refunded do to a problem I then experienced with the second same model I bought immediately after to replace the previous one. When I loaded up windows 11. I noticed all of the desktop icons were blank white pages, mostly notably so was explorer.exe Which is your file explorer. If that's a white page, something is definitely up. This came directly from Walmart, preinstalled OS with Windows Keys integrated.So I did a system reset to attempt to fix the new rig. It w

Windows keeps Freezing + Black screen every couple of seconds

Hey dalchina,

thanks again for the tipp.

The freezing gets unbearable when running ProcMon. If I'm fast enough with the 5 seconds of normal usability, I can get it running with a filter. When it freezes with ProcMon running, it either crashes or freezes for 5-10 minutes. Only to run again for 5 seconds.

I tried that for an hour and I think, a Nvidia programm is always on the list (of the 5 minutes) after a crash.

When doing a clean boot, i.e. disable all services in msconfig, the issue remains, no matter which combination of services are enabled or disabled.

As I've already tried to use the latest Nvidia driver, do you have any idea, what I could do please?

I'm currently in the event viewer and it seems that there is an error related to an unknown describtion which occurs after all freezes with a short black screen. However, the entry reads something regarding a Video device.
Event-ID 14

Windows 10 PC freezes for 5 seconds every 3 hours

Back in April I purchased a new Dell XPS 8930 with a 256 GB SSD boot drive and 1 TB HDD data drive. The system also has 16 GB RAM. I'm running Windows 10 Home (64-bit) English -- installed by Dell.

While I've been very happy with the system overall, I've had one issue consistently from the beginning: The entire machine will freeze completely for 5 seconds and then return to normal. Once this occurs, a subsequent freeze will occur 3 hours later --
and 3 hours after that -- and so on. This pattern is fairly consistent. If I have task manager running when the freeze occurs, I can see very clearly that the CPU goes to 100% for that 5-second period and then returns to normal.

Having spent some time online, I found this conversation and found many similarities with my issue and my computer's configuration:

Redirecting

I turned off sleep but this did not resolve the problem. I also attempted to uninstall the Intel RST driver and let Windows install its own -- but Windows didn't install anything when I scanned for hardware changes. Upon restart the system couldn't boot
up (couldn't find boot drive) and I ended up doing any emergency restore.

I have opened a ticket with Dell but the steps that they suggested (i.e., updating BIOS and chipset drivers, changing hard disk due to sleep to 80 minutes) did not resolve the issue.

Any advice on this matter would be much appreciated.

 

Software runs for 5-10 seconds then closes/crashes

Hello,

I have a copy of a piece of software called "Bridge Designer 2016 2nd Edition" that I wanted to run on my PC, so I installed it and tried to run it, and it shows the loading screen for about 5-10 seconds then closes itself, the website was stopped/shut down
so I luckily had a copy of it. Even when I try to run a bridge file, it won't work. Please respond, thanks!
