Windows 10: How to fix PC hard freezing

My PC used to hard freeze when I was gaming and I thought it may be due to the PC overheating so I didn't think much of it. However, it has now started to hard freeze when I do simple things like browsing the web and has become very annoying as I am having to constantly hard reset in order to have any control over my PC again. Sometimes I will be gaming for two hours and it will be fine, other times I will have only just turned on the PC and opened the internet and it will already freeze. I tried searching the web but couldn't find anything that worked and I am very confused as to why this is

GPU-Z 0.7.8 / 0.7.9 / 0.8.0 Bios reading not possible GTX670-solved with gpu-z 0.8.1

@Maban - does GPU-Z fail the same way for you the way it does for me? I.e. total system freeze/lockup, requiring a hard reset?

@W1zzard - I will try the suggested steps later today, as I am not near that PC at the moment.

 

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.

 

Hard Freeze problem.

SeaSonic is the best choice out of the ones that you listed. I think that it's the best there is. (my own opinion)

Your Power Supply is the single most important component in your computer.

Without a good brand that you can trust to work optimally, everything else in the system is at risk. It's the logical first-step when building a PC.
Remember that if a poor quality power supply fails, it can take out a lot of your other PC components at the same time. (it's happened to me before)
If a high quality PSU fails, it will not destroy the rest of your system.
