    Freezing and half freezing pc


    Hello i bought a new computer a few months ago and it has worked perfectly fine untill i downloaded a driver updater. After i downloaded a driver through it, it has been freezing for a few seconds while the sound still continues, it has been freezing partially while the sound starts going ''slowmotion'' while making a piching noice. I've tried running a virus search, rebooting the pc and updating the drivers manually. any ideas what it might be?


    Best regards

    :)

    pc freezing again....

    hi again guys
    i had a amd 4200+ o/c to 2.6ghz which was freezing before
    upped the volts to 1.35 which i think sorted the problem out

    now i have a new 6000+ which i installed 5 days ago
    it froze this morning.ran prime95 before i went to work
    it froze half hour into it.
    i should be getting a new psu after xmas,which might resolve it(who knows)

    now my 6000+ has got 1.34volts pumping up its ass.
    is this enough????
    its not o/ced by the way

    these random freezes are doing my head in
    and it only freezes when my pc is idle(i leave it on 24/7)
    never freezes when im on it
    suggestion guys??......thanks

    Hello,

    To isolate your Windows 10 freezing issue, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Aside from this error, are you also getting other error codes or messages?
    • Where do you usually experience this freezing issue? Is it during startup?
    • Other troubleshooting steps you've tried so far?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Borderlands freezes and thaws

    I'm positive the steps I took above fixed it. I went through 10 rounds in the underdome (well over an hour of gameplay) without a single freeze. Previously, I couldn't play 15 minutes without at least one freeze.
