Windows 10: Win 10 Hanging / lagging / Freezing periodically

Hi, I am currently experiencing a weird issue that I still have not been able to resolve. I got a custom PC about 3-4 months ago and the PC will routinely hang or freeze for 1-2 seconds. This does not stop video or audio but all games, file explorer etc will freeze for a couple seconds. This issue gets worse the longer my PC is on and will increase in frequency the longer the PC is on. It also occurs when I am not playing any games but just watching a youtube video working in my IED etc. I have attempted several things to try and resolve this but I have not been able to pin point the issue. Below is a list of what I have attempted / looked into and below that is a list of my PC specs. An example of what this will look like when it happens is in OneNote - I will be working and taking notes in OneNote which has several notes in several different sections when the computer hangs or freeze for the 1-2 seconds OneNote will turn fully white and it will appear all of my notes are gone when i move my courser around OneNote the notes will begin to appear again almost as if the freezing hides the visibility to the notes until l my courser enters the section they are in.

System Freeze after a random period of inactivity (supposedly)


Hi all,

I didn't know where to put this thread, but because it has to do with system performance, I thought this might be the best place to post my issues with Win 10. Let me get straight to the point:

• Up-to-date Windows 10 install (ver 1511 OS Build 10586.36)
• I haven't tested it but it seems like when the computer becomes inactive after a period of time, the whole system freezes - the mouse isn't moving, the desktop remains static on the last windows that were there, the time remains static (it doesn't change), CTRL+ALT+DELETE doesn't work. Only solution seems to be to a hard reboot.
• In all other aspects the computer works fine: no virus (as determined by up-to-date version of Free Avast AV), SSD runs super fast, computer reboots, shuts down and goes to sleep perfectly. It's just when I am working on the computer and get sidetracked and when the computer becomes inactive, the computer freezes.

System Specs (other relevant aspects of my system can be viewed on my system specs page):

• Custom Built: E6700 non-OC
• 4 GB DDR2 RAM
• GTX 970 (up to date driver: 361.43)

Any thoughts? Is there some sort of log that I can call up to show what is causing this stall/freeze/hang-up?

Thanks again!
