  1. Occasionally, all windows freeze


    There's no specific cause identified. It was just happened randomly and happened three times this day, two times yesterday.Charateristics of the bug:-All windows freeze, such that any input e.g. clicking on GUI, etc. has no respond.-Taskbar funtionality works perfectly OK, except changing window by clicking icons in taskbar is not okay. However, I still could change to another window by alt+tab or win+tab, though all of them are frozen.-Ctrl+Alt+Del works, task manager could be called out. But it couldn't end frozen task. Once I clicked at "end task" the task manager also freeze.-Cannot shat

    Occasionally, all windows freeze

    Occasional PC freeze

    Sadly I continue to have the same intermittent problem.

    After a spate of further freezes, always soon after morning boot up, last Friday I changed the CMOS battery (needed to remove and replace the graphics card to access the battery). The BIOS reload the last parameter set after the change.

    For a few days no problems.

    Then yesterday a couple of freezes. After 2 or 3 reboots it was fine for the rest of the day.

    This morning:
    Boot up - freeze after 10-15 minutes.
    Reboot - freeze during BIOS after detecting memory before the list of detected drives.
    Reboot - freeze after "loading operating system" message
    Reboot - still OK after a couple of hours.

    Past experience suggests it will be OK for the rest of the day.

    I've run memtest86, OK; Speccy, Crystal Disk Info & Hard Disk Sentinel all report drives OK.

    Any thoughts?
