    New computer occasionally freezes, then releases


    Brand new Alienware Aurora R9, wiped with fresh install fully patched Win 10 Home. I installed only Chrome, nVidia GeForce Experience and up-to-date drivers, and one game, and started experiencing occasional freezes. I thought the machine had locked up and that perhaps I had corrupted something during a RegEdit session to change a stupid MS install option, so I re-wiped and re-installed.


    This time around, I installed again the nVidia stuff, Chrome, but nothing else, no games, no apps.This time around I didn't touch the registry and was very careful to fully patch and keep everything pristine and clean. Still, the freezes occurred. This time I waited for about 20-30 seconds to see if it was truly a lockup and I discovered that the machine was eventually released back to me. It's almost as though I had encountered a severe lag spike which froze all the action and then managed to recover after 20-30 seconds.


    It's a brand new rig, all diagnostics report clean health, no issues. What could be causing this? Thanks for any insights or suggestions.

    :)

    Audio Service Fails Occasionally

    Thank you again. The audio program I use which ends up freezing/crashing is called FTR Player (For The Record). To my knowledge, it is up to date as occasionally the company release patches when new Windows 10 updates cause conflicts with the program.
    I might try reinstalling this, as you suggest. Thanks again.
