  1. Windows 10 Freeze


    Hi all,


    Hopefully someone can help with this nightmare. My PC has suddenly starting freezing and becoming totally unresponsive, forcing me to press the power switch at which point it instantly shuts off, no press and hold needed. It usually happens in games, so far it's happened in Subnautica, No Man's Sky and Warhammer Total War 2, however it also happens whilst working occasionally.


    The reliability monitor shows nothing, and I've recently cloned and replaced my HDD with an SDD, and attached a USB bluetooth dongle.


    Solutions already tried -


    - Increase virtual memory to x1.5 of my system ram

    - Removed bluetooth usb dongle and all associated drivers

    - Rolled back my graphics card driver

    - Checked and confirmed my new SDD is connected to a SATA 3 port


    Here's my system specs -

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
