Windows 10: How do I fix my pc randomly fully freezing/crashing with no warning or error code

My pc Keeps randomly crashing when I play games, especially fortnite. It just randomly crashes/fully freezes. It doesn’t turn off, just completely freezes. Doesn’t go black, my screen just completely freezes with no warning, and no error codes, it doesn’t even turn off or restart, nothing happens I have to turn it off myself and turn it back on. I have an rtx 2070 super, i7 9th gen, and 16gb ram, and my temps all seem okay as well as my cpu, gpu, and ram usage. How do I fix this

:)

 

DistributedCOM (warning 10016) keeps freezing/crashing my PC randomly

Hi,

just got a new pc, freshly installed (twice) and everything. It's brand new hardware, everything updated to the latest version (BIOS, drivers, firmwares, ... ). I've done a sfc /scannow, which 'repaired' 100 errors. I've done a memorycheck and everything.
It started first when Oculus Rift was running and hardware was plugged in. I disabled the Digital Audio Nvidia drivers as suggested and also a Windows System Check. Which seemed to help, at first. It didn't crash anymore during use of Oculus Rift software/hardware with other applications open (like Chrome and such).

But it still crashes/freezes randomly.
I've checked the eventlog and the same 3 DCOM warnings keep popping up, around the same time the pc freezes. Sometimes even a BSOD clock_watchdog_timeout.
These are:
ShellServiceHost : CLSID {6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52} APPID {4839DDB7-58C2-48F5-8283-E1D1807D0D7D}

Immersive Shell : {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239} APPID {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}
PerAppRuntimeBroker : {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54} APPID {15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402}

I've also found some crashdumps in my local appdata that also point to some errors.
The dumpfile of SystemSettings, with error-code : c000041d

and Home2-Win64-Shipping with error-code : c0000005 (this is from the Oculus software, although this one doesn't seem to happen anymore.

I've tried doing the solutions regarding the 10016 warnings, presented here:

[FIX] DCOM Event 10016 Error in Windows 11/10

I get as far until the Component Services, where I never seem to get permission to adjust the start/launch options. But also, they seem to be configured as suggested. So in a way, that would work either.
I also tried the first method of the first link. I can remove all those suggested, except for 'MachineLaunchRestriction', which just changes into 'MachineLaunchRestrictionOld'

My computer is

• i7 13700k
  
• 32GM RAM 3600
  
• Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus Wifi D4
  
• Asus Nvidia Geforce RTX3060 OC dual
  
• Samsung 980 Pro SSD and Seagate HDD
  
• Windows 10 (Home)
  

I've seen post claiming these 10016 warning are unlikely the cause to crash a system. But apparently they do with mine. I've already exhausted every avenue, and these 10016 warnings are the only ones in the log just after a crash has happened.

Also, why can't I seem to make a backup system copy anymore, while I have more than enough space on that partition. The backup file is calculated at around 200Gb while the partion is 250Gb. So why all of a sudden I can't create a backup anymore?

Hope for some help. This shouldn't happen with a brand new computer. Or is Windows still not up-to-date with the 13th Gen Intel processors?

Cheers,

 

Windows 10 freezes randomly

I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin

I had tried that as well... no result.

Turning off fast startup helped with this issue for another user on a different forum. For newbies, see steps Windows 10 Freezes Randomly.
