Windows 10: Windows 10 keeps freezing after upgrade.

Updating with my results

I uninstalled Acronis.

No issues so far.

 

For me it was a virtual memory size problem.
System has (oddly) automatically set VM size at 512MB, I've enlarged it to 4-8G (min-max) and... no more freezes!
Hope it helps.

 

Gone back to win 8.1, sick of hearing its frozen again and wife turning off screen and walking around with why do i even bother to try and use it. have tried most if not all of the hints via this forum even put extra ram in via usb ramdrive. Its a shame its little things that niggle and take the gloss of WIn10.

 

This is my 3rd time upgrading from Windows 7 Pro x64 to Windows 10. The last 2 times I fallback to Windows 7 due to the frequent freezing (it freeze after 5 min and then more erratic). After reading this thread, I uninstalled Acronis (before upgrading to Windows 10). [Fingers crossed] Until now, for the past 2 hours, there is no freezing.

[Update] No freezing now since the last upgrade. *Party

 

I've been having this problem for the last few days (windows 10 previously ran for several weeks without ever freezing).

I added a new 4k monitor and a new mouse - but the system still freezes even when I revert to the previous hardware. Tried deleting all drivers. The monitor driver was unsigned and I booted into test mode to install it - could this be related?

The behaviour (everything becoming unresponsive, even CTRL+ALT+DEL not working) is what I'd expect to happen if I suddenly disconnected the boot drive, but I've checked for loose connections and all seems OK in that department.

I've tried most of the suggestions in this thread to no avail. System restore no good either. Running out of ideas.

 

Try to look at the Event error in the System Log to have an idea what's causing the problem.

 

I had the same problem when I upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7. If your running Win7 you probably had an older PC that may have come preloaded with apps from the Manufacturer. My was a Dell. What I found was that older applications are not compatible with Win 10 and they cause it to freeze up. In my case it was four "bloatware" apps from Dell. I deleted each using control panel - remove programs. Before doing so you can check the application online to see what it does. Most bloatware is just that, useless and unnecessary. Dell was famous for it five or six years ago. After they were removed. Win10 ran perfectly on my 2009 PC

 

OK, I seem to have fixed my issue - and it's yet another different solution.

For me the problem was caused by the postgreSQL service causing issues which I picked up in Event Viewer. Since uninstalling version 8.3 and installing 9.4, I've gone 36 hours without a single freeze (previously freezing about every 45 mins).

 

I suffered from this problem for a little while and recently i just got more and more annoying. Seriously every 15-30 minutes I had to hard reset myself. I called windows support and the guy just took control of my computer and ran some commands in the console to repair corrupted files. Didn't solve the problem but may have helped because he did find a few. However, it seems as though drivers were my problem. He couldn't do this for me; it's not under microsoft's area of responsibility.

My suggestion go to your manufacturer's website and download any driver updates. It looks like you have a computer very similar to my own so here is the site below. There are 3 of them. An audio drivers, ethernet, and a pci/usb 3.0 (or something) of an update. I hope this helps. It did for me (as it seems so far anyway). Played a couple hours of warcraft with no problems and it froze up all the time while I playing earlier.

After reading all threads here I had to decide what resembled my situation the most and which traits we had in common. I used Acronis to clone the existing installation to SSD and after that upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. It froze after 2 minutes, I hadn't even completed setting up my account!

The most significant problem was that I couldn't even reboot at the loginscreen. After removing Acronis the problem was gone. Problem has been gone ever since.

Thanks for all the help.

 

I had this problem since upgrading to Windows 10 several weeks ago. Regular freezes and having to hard reset. Could be anything from 30 mins to 2 hours between freezes.

I read somewhere that it could be old AMD Graphic Cards not being compatible so I changed mine to a Gigabyte one, but it didn't work. It seemed to freeze mostly when on Firefox, so disabled flash, didn't work.

Yesterday I uploaded revised drivers for my USB mouse and Keyboard (Microsoft 600) and at the same time disconnected by USB mic I used to use for VOIP calls and the freezing has stopped.

My PC has now been on for 6 hours without an incident, so one of the last changes worked.

FYI my mic was a 'Trust' unit. Not sure of the model, but USB.

 

Disable the C1 and C6 states under the CPU settings in the BIOS if you've not all ready done this. Your machine will run as smooth as a smooth thing covered in smoothness. Hope this helps.

 

I believe this worked for me, but I can't be sure. At the same time I also re-downloaded mobo drivers directly from MSI website. I believe changing the VM did fix it and I cannot thank you enough! This issue was driving me crazy. I actually upgraded 90 percent of my PC thinking I had failing parts.

Edit: Nevermind. Didn't do anything. I'm continuing to attempt to resolve this issue. *Mad
If any of you are using the program Flux, I just exited out and I'm testing to see if that is the culprit. I'll keep you guys updated as I try to solve this.

My solution: Changing Sleep in Power Settings to "Never" seemed to fix my computer. As dumb as it was...

 

User Mode Driver problems were what caused my computer freezes, solved by doing the following.
Open Control Panel, System and Security, System, then Advanced System Settings.
Click on Advanced Tab and in "Startup and Recovery" click on Settings.
Under System Failure untick "Automatically Restart", ok and save.

 

I went to a clients house to fix this issue. The problem came from Avast and the video card mention threads ago. So, what might work

• Boot to Safe Mode with networking: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...dows-10-a.html
• Uninstall Avast.
• Uninstall nVidea drivers.
• Restart into normal mode.

Hope it works. If not, you might have to clean install.
