Windows 10: why doesn't my laptop freeze when at 60hz but keeps freezing every minute for 40 seconds i...

please someone help I hate 60 hz

:)

 

Recovery reset for Windows 10 didn’t finish and now laptop keeps freezing.

Thanks for replying Sumit.

However, when i grt to my home page i have about under a minute before the laptop freezes and wont let me do anything. I went to the second link you gave me and tried to follow to first step of right clicking the power button but i couldnt even get to the
settings to do so as the laptop freezed again.

Anything else you could suggest?

 

Borderlands freezes and thaws

I'm positive the steps I took above fixed it. I went through 10 rounds in the underdome (well over an hour of gameplay) without a single freeze. Previously, I couldn't play 15 minutes without at least one freeze.

 

1 second image freeze exactly every minute


It still happens after a clean boot.
I tried out the Windows Safe Mode this afternoon and for the first time the freezes didn't occur anymore. I did some tests and narrowed it down to the GPU driver. I tried out the automatically installed driver version by Windows 10 (341.92), the latest version on the Nvidia website (341.95) and an older version (341.81), but in all the 3 cases the problem still occured. I think I'm going to ask the Nvidia support or someone in some Nvidia help forum and update this thread when I have found a solution. But if someone on this forum has an idea as well I'm always welcome for help

btw I also did some tests in terms of the scheduling of the freezes. Turns out they always happen at :00 and always every 60 seconds. That means when for example I turn the clock back from 21:40:40 to 21:40:30, a freeze will happen at 21:40:50 (because the last freeze will have been 60 seconds ago at 21:40:00) and at 21:41:00 (because it's the start of a new minute) - don't know if that information is helpful in any way. Also, my GPU is the Nividia GeForce 320M.
