Windows 10: Random system freezes for weeks

Thanks Cliff, I just rebooted after setting up the custom view. I have to say since the in-place upgrade the stability has significant increased *Smile

 

I know a few things yeah *Smile

Unfortunately I am slowly running out of things to try, currently I have currently disabled some services in msconfig

• Google services,
• Intel PROSet Monitoring service,
• VMware services,
• Skype service.

Services enabled:

• Apple services for iTunes,
• Bitdefender services,
• Malwarebytes services (MBAM & MBAE),
• Creative Audio service,
• Origin service,
• Steam service,
• Unchecky service,
• Macrium service,
• Intel Content Protection HECI & HDCP service,
• Intel HD Graphics Control Panel service.

 

Here's some suggestions on Crucial MX200:

Have tried to disable the power saving features in your bios yet, to rule out a low power issue during core parking? I am thinking this is on a hardware related level.

 

Thank god I have never installed Acronis, but I'll disable the Macrium services.

 

The only thing enabled was a low power setting for the Intel graphics driver, not sure what it may affect but it is disabled now.

 

All the stuff you disabled really should have no impact on the machine, and could remain on.
You would shiver if you saw what I have running and loading at boot. But that's one of the reasons I have SSD's*Nerd
I can get into the internet about 15 seconds after pushing the power button, but the programs load up to a minute and a half.
But internet access is what counts to me, sooo....

Just check out the logs after the next freeze.

Have you thought about auto-maintenance?
Maybe forcing it in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Security and Maintenance might get the initial maintenance done. Also check the settings for it.
It also runs a good portion of:
fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\&fsutil usn deletejournal /d /n c:&Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase&pause
in the background to cleanup the WinSxs folder which can get quite large with copies of Windows dynamic link libraries for each piece of software that uses each .dll. And I bet you run a lot of software with all your BSOD/debugging help.

 

It doesn't have impact indeed, but I do not like certain services to be enabled from the start.

Maintenance I do not think of, it happens automatically, though just forced it.

I'll run the first 2 commands, but I do not think the DISM & SFC commands are necessary, I ran them last night *Smile

I'm wondering why some think that a BSOD analyst have much of software installed, I only have 56 programs installed (incl. a few visual c++ stuff) but the only thing installed for BSOD is Windbg & Excel for PID verification for Windows 7 BSOD analysis (I do still need to install Visual Studio, codelobster and xamp).

 

Because we don't know any better?*Roflmao2
I have 62 programs, from which 12 run at start, 14 if you count Skype desktop and service loader.*Wink

It just doesn't make sense you're having freeze-ups like an old laptop with a 5400rpm HDD and 2GB RAM.

To test your hardware outside of Windows, you could install Ubuntu on a small partition, and then run Checkbox:
These screenshots are from my VM, of course for these test, you will need to really install on a partition or spare disk, if you are sure you disk is good:




Included tests:

 

Just a thought. Is your RAM on compatible list with your MB ? You could also manually set the RAM voltage according to the spec or a tad higher instead of Auto.

 

The memory is not on the compatibility list, my brother (who helped building) told that it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Sorry but I would not bet on it. Having built quite a few PC's for self, Family members and friends. Memory timings is very crucial and if it's not on the list then it can cause intermittently frozen.

You could also try to relax the memory timings a bit to see if it helps. You won't be able to tell any difference in performance.

 

My system has been stable for a few days now, kinda a record compared to a week ago *Smile

What currently is changed in the BIOS after loading the optimal default settings:
RC6(Render Standby) - Disabled, was Enabled
Profile DDR Voltage - 1.20V, was auto

I did not change anything for the timings, would be a bit too much for me.

 

Another freeze... cheering too soon is an art

Hello my friend.

Please use the VGA, INF and Management Engine from Gigabyte, as a test?
