Windows 10: PC freezes randomly

Hi all,

I'm looking for some help with this constant issue I've been having for the past month or so; all of a sudden my computer will either freeze up or instantly shutdown due to driver errors with whatever headset I plug into any USB port (including 3.0 ports).

I've updated all my drivers (using Driver Easy to detect which are outdated as my windows install seems incapable of doing so), I've run memory checks, drive checks, system file checks and repairs and even bought a new headset.

Upon checking Windows Event Viewer, preceding every crash and freeze is both "DriverFramworks-Usermode" critical events (IDs 10110 and 10111) for reasons unknown to me and a Kernel-Power event (ID 41) when it shuts down or I have to force it off with the power button. I have tried re-installing windows but it has now progressed to freezing up randomly with/without a headset and I cannot see any critical error apart from ID 41 when I have to shut it down.

I'm starting to get extremely worried because I can't afford to replace components at present.

My setup is as follows:

CPU: AMD FX-9370 Eight-Core (4.40GHz)

RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080ti 11GB (Gigabyte)

Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3

PSU: Corsair Modular HX1000i

Mouse: Razer Naga Hex V2

Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow 2013

Headset: Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 and HyperX Cloud II

Please if anyone has any ideas or knowledge that would help fix this I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you,


Kibbs

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.
