Windows 10: how to handle fake PC LOCK DOWN flashing on screen

Supposedly from Microsoft.com, this screeching take over of pc has occurred 2 days in a row. In anxiety I shut down pc at once with no chance to make note of source name listed or copy URL. PC then works fairly well but I consistently receive this sign in error notice from Microsoft: "We're having trouble signing you in due to error AADSTS501196 Server terminated an operation because it encountered a client request loop. Contact your app vendor. I have become leery of opening any Microsoft device, even to seek helplike this note


I am able to use the pc after closing this odd page, but it then reappears often. It seems to appear after I have opened any Microsoft site. Unable to find any problems in my Microsoft account, especially signing in.


Any advice??? Please help!

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
