  2. Computer Freezes Then Blue Screen

    Hello,

    A stop error (also called a "blue screen" error) can occur if a problem causes your PC to shut down or restart unexpectedly. These errors can be caused by both hardware and software issues.

    For us to better assist you, we'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    • Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    • Click OK.
    • Were there any recent changes made prior to this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your device?

    Meanwhile, we suggest performing the steps on this article
    on how to troubleshoot blue screen errors on Windows 10.

    We look forward to your response.

    Regards.

    strange issues (black screen, blue screen, and freezes)

    my computer specs to the left are up to date

    this system has been running flawlessly for a year now and i keep it clean, well cooled, and dust free

    right out of the blue lately my computer started freezing up randomely, sometimes when its just sitting idle it will make a "bong" sound and then the screen goes black and the computer is frozen with no way to get in but restarting it.

    most of the freeze ups come when multi tasking but it has done it sitting idle once or twice.

    a couple of times when i started the computer it gave me the blue screen that says windows had a problem and needs to restart but doesnt say anything more.

    sometimes while the computer seams to be working ok, when i start the media player or games it sometimes give me the blue screen but it only says windows had a problem and needs to restart but doesnt say anything more. *Bang Head :banghead:

    just one time the blue screen did say that the nvidia driver had an issue so i updated that but its still giving the random freezes and so far i havent seen any more blue screens yet.

    i cant remember how you get to read the error report to see whats going on for sure so can someone remind me how to do it?

    if its a virus its no big deal since im getting ready to update from xp to windows 7 but i want to be certain its not something hardware related before i do a reformat and install windows 7.

    what would be the top suspects to look at here and how do i test them?

    im thinking if it were the video card it wouldnt be effecting the system so even thou it was my first idea im guessing its probably not the problem.

    its been a long time since i was fixing a computer so whats the best diagnostic test program for dummies. im not into benches or detailed diagnostic figures, i just want a pass or fail kind of test to see if something works or has issues.

    thanks for your help in advance guys *Smile Random blue screens/ screen freezes and can't move mouse or type :)


    EDIT: this problem turned out to be due to the psu that was still working but it got weak and was not supplying enough amps anymore even thou the voltages looked ok when tested. i suggest you read through this thread as it is very informative as to just how strange your computer can act when something like this happens.
