Windows 10: Frequent freezing that causes my computer to become unresponsive started a few days ago,...

I updated my gpu drivers and windows updated to the most recent windows 11 update but the issue persists. I managed to get a dump file right after the freezing happened but I am not sure how to read it. I have linked it here. NOTE: this started before I updated my gpu. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqfwGrZMQWLu5THeR-HEtSGBVg1_?e=yjQAAF

Computer randomly freezes

I have followed all the steps suggested.

First, there were no minidump files, because I formatted the computer two days ago and since then, it just freezes (stops totally responding) but had no BSOD.

The rest: driver view report, system information file have been uploaded on onedrive -

Computer hangs up/freezes when running certain apps

Hello

A few weeks ago my computer started completely freezing. When those freezes occur the computer is totally unresponsive and requires a reboot, however they only happen when running certain programs.

Windows Version number : 1903
When does it happen?

• Playing youtube videos (takes a few minutes to freeze on average)
• Starting certain games (freezes on startup)
• Answering discord calls

And i discover new sources all the time so i doubt this is a complete list.

What did i try so far?

• Updating the drivers (didn't try to update the BIOS yet but reset it to default)
• Sfc / chkdsk
• OCCT (both CPU and GPU test, neither overheated/froze the computer)
• memtest x86 (4 passes 6 hours, no errors)
• Swapping GPU (RX-480)

By this point i was a bit lost so i tried using windows event viewer to no avail.

As a last attempt i tried to install windows on a new harddrive but the computer froze during installation.

I'm completely lost and don't know whether my hardware is failing or if it's some kind of software issue.

 

explorer frequently freezes

Hi all. I'm running Windows 10 home (10.0.19041) on a Thinkpad X1 carbon. In the last week, explorer has started to freeze very frequently. There are two behaviors that seem to trigger a freeze:

1) When attempting to save-as from Google Chrome, explorer will become unresponsive (including the save-as dialogue itself, the desktop, and any other explorer windows currently open). Forcing explorer.exe to quit is the only thing that helps - at which point the save-as dialogue is unfrozen, allowing for the file to be saved without issue.

2) When transferring a file, the transfer will initially hang at 0% for 30-90 seconds before eventually transferring. (At first I thought this was only an issue when transferring to a network drive, but it actually happens when I'm transferring within my laptop's SSD.)

I've fiddled with explorer's settings as suggested on other posts, and I've run virus and malware scans. Nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
