    My PC periodically freezes in Windows 10


    Hey Guys

    I have an issue I have been so desperately trying to troubleshoot. Literally giving up soon. Please please please help if you have any ideas <3

    ISSUE: My PC periodically freezes for either short bursts or needs a force shutdown.

    SPECS: ASUS Rog Maximus hero mobo, i7 8700k, msi GTX1080 8gb graphics, 4x8gb corsair vengeance ram, 500gb m.2 drive (windows installed), 6tb harddrive, 750W thermaltake power

    WHAT I'VE DONE:

    - Clean install of all drivers (take them off, reinstall, update to
    newest, several times). So it's not the drivers
    - Malware/spyware clean, not even one file found
    - Memory checked each ram stick
    - Cleared all temp files
    - unplugged all USB items and tried drivers again
    - Tried to run chkdsk - it comes up with an error saying it can't
    - Checked temperatures of hardware, everything is well below dangerous, no spikes, no throttling, hardware is working well from what I can see
    - Tried to "reset my computer" and start a fresh install of windows to wipe it, comes up with error saying it can't do this no changes have been made
    - Tried to restore from previous backups, same issue as above
    - Tried to get the windows ISO on USB to "repair my pc" that way, same issue as above
    - Tried to fresh install on secondary drive with windows to test if freezes still happen, I can't due to it being in the partition of the first drive and it freezes everytime I try change it

    So... kill me? hahah

    Thank so much if you have had a look

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
