Windows 10: Windows 10 keeps crashing

So, the problem is that my WINDOWS 10 KEEPS crashing. It only crashes when I leave the device idle for a few minutes (as long as i keep using it like running a video or playing a game for hours it works fine, but the moment I pause the video and leave it for like 10-15 minutes it crashes). And I don't mean the blue screen of death crash. It just completely stops working. I am forced to restart my laptop using the power button, but then the windows won't start up.It will say that some boot file is missing. Sometimes it starts up but works slowly...horribly slowly (like if I press the START button it opens up like 10 minutes later). I tried reinstalling the windows, formatting the hard drive and all the fixes listed on community forums but nothing has worked so far. Right now I am using WINDOWS 8.1 on the same device and it is working fine so it is not a hardware issue (I think).

I am using a Lenovo Z50-70 laptop with following config :

Processor -i5 4200u

Graphics Card - nVidia 840m

Storage - 1tb hard drive

Hi,

There are many possible reasons why the computer will keeps on crashing. One of which is missing or corrupted system files. For us to further isolate the issue, we suggest answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you accessing/doing when the computer crashes?
• Were you still able to login to the computer after it happens?
• Can you send us a screenshot of the error messages or mini dump that you've received?

In the meantime, if you're seeing a blue screen when the computer crashes, we suggest following the steps on this article:
Troubleshoot blue screen errors. Kindly choose the appropriate answer to the category
"When did you get the error?".

We'll wait for your response on this matter.

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

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
