    my pc will randomly freeze up every few hours and require me to force reset it.


    I've just built a new pc and i was encountering an issue where my pc freezes up but I can still move my cursor and minimize things, but I can't close anything or press the windows button or clock on any of my applications. I ran memtest and it detected some errors so I checked my ram and it turns out 2 of the 4 sticks are different version numbers to the other 2, so I took them out and ran memtest again and there were no errors but the freezing problem is still happening. I have no clue why.

    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.

    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.

    PC freezes randomly after running 2-3 hours

    Hi.

    My PC starts freezes about 0.5 sec randomly after running 2-3 hours, no matter if I was gaming or watching videos.

    Restart the PC can normally solve the issue (it does not always work, but it seems " shut down " then turn on PC has a higher chance of solving this issue compare to " restart".) Since restart sometimes solves the problem, I assume it should not be a overheating
    issue.

    I have no idea if it is a system issue or hardware issue. I have tried updating all the drivers, but it does not work. I used Dell system diagnose, but it suggest all hardware are fine.

    Can anyone suggest how can I fix this issue?

    Regards,

    Feng,
