Windows 10: Partial crash requires hard reboot to fix - Windows 10

Hi,


For the last couple of weeks I have been having a particular issue. The issue is difficult to describe, and so searching online does not yield relevant results.


Several times a day quite often around the same time of day my PC partially locks up. The symptoms are:


* Network seems to drop, web browsers cannot access the internet

* GPU applications e.g. games crash

* Windows start search does not work

* On task manager, values are frozen CPU usage of processes, temperatures, etc

* Cannot launch many applications

* Hard reset is needed to fix


I have searched in Event Viewer and Task Scheduler and cannot see anything out of the ordinary.

I have ran the System File Checker and it does not find any issues.


Any help is appreciated.


Thanks!

:)

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
