Windows 10: Random system freezes for weeks

Hi Arc,

I'm waiting for the weekly system backup which happens on saturday, after that I'll go install those drivers *Smile

 

No problem mate.
There must be a reason behind those freezes, it just needs to be identified.

 

It is definitely no hardware or any peripheral that I have, since the in-place upgrade all the things that I used to do when a freeze occured do not cause any problems anymore. All peripheral have been connected to different ports for some time, including the onces on my laptop, resulting in no problems.

In fact, since I posted the logs from the custom event viewer I did not have any freeze, of course that means nothing a.t.m.

 

Martijn,
You need to save the crash troubleshoot log from event viewer as .evtx and not html so we can use open saved log in event viewer to read it.

 

I saved the event logs as evtx, no idea where the XML format comes from...
Here is a fresh one.
Attachment 89119

 

That one worked, let me pry around in your system a bit, maybe I can find something*092

 

I've never enabled readyboost as it is not needed.

I am wondering where it comes from, I did not have any storage devices attached at the moment of the log.

 

I see a lot of errors the every Win10 install has, DCOM, readyboot, they are not the problem.
What looks like a problem is your network, too many timeouts causing apps & updates to fail,
Also are you using disk encryption? There are quite a few error pertaining to encryption too. Again timeouts, and total failures.
And Shellhost with mapping.
Try checking you network drivers.
Timeouts can cause freezes as the system has to keep trying until it gets the "handshake" it needs.
DHCP Server

 

I do not use disk encryption.

I've installed all drivers less than a week ago, if it is the internet causing the trouble then I would think the cable is the cause. The cable isn't really new but the only one that was available for use.

 

This is Kernel-EventTracing Error only, nothing serious.

0xC0000188 = STATUS_LOG_FILE_FULL

The next Information event gives a better explanation to it ....

Apparently it does not have any relation with your original issue, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard freeze.

There is a Kernel Power 41 Event in the logs. If that is not self-initialized by you, then that might be relating to your issue.

What I think that .......
The issue is related to chipset. Either hardware or software.
That is why I requested you to have all the chipset elements from the manufacturer. You tested those with the drivers from a different source (Microsoft); better test with another source.
If it still remains the same, two things will remain to test. Southbridge (Motherboard) and Northbridge (Processor).
But there are all chances that I am thinking in a wrong way.

 

Thanks for the info Arc *Smile

The kernel power logs are from forced shutdowns, self initialized, after the freezes occured. There is no other way to get rid of the freezes.

Before I let Microsoft install those drivers I was using the drivers from Gigabyte, in all clean installs except the current one, there is no difference. I have reinstalled the drivers from Gigabyte in a clean install a few times without improvement.

Shouldn't a freeze have occured while I was in safe mode some time back in that case? Some time back I was having freezes every few hours, I let the system run for about 8 hours and got back with a proper behaviour of the system.

 

Yes, it should, with a little exception.

Some drivers (like the HD display driver) is inactive in safe mode, so are those chips driven by the drivers.
At least the HD display driver is directly related to the processor (may be some others, too).

Just thinking about some mere possibilities.

 

Good point, I am planning on getting a RX480 or GTX 970 soon, that should (or not) rule out the GPU part in the CPU *Smile

 

I was talking with a computer builder at the shop near my home. I told the entire of the issue to him. He told me that sometimes this nature of freeze occurs due to disk errors; occurs more often for SSDs than HDDs.

If you have another disk, can you try a windows installation on that one?
