  1. Windows 10 PC keeps freezing but why?


    I've come across a really frustrating problem and I can't seem to solve it. If I'm on my PC and I don't move the cursor for about 6-8 minutes, the whole computer will freeze. Then I'll have to hold the button on the tower to force the whole PC off. This never used to happen so I don't know why this keeps happening but it's really actually annoying when I'm trying to use my PC at times. I've never had this problem ever before in my life so this is strange and I just want help.


    I have a couple ideas of why this could be happening. I'm not no computer expert so I have no knowledge of issues like these. But I have 2 keyboards connected to my PC, 2 monitors, a pair of water speakers, and a mouse but everything is LED. I feel like because I'm using every USB port on the tower it could be causing the PC to freeze? But then when I first got the computer it never froze so that doesn't really make sense. Another thought I had was about the drivers. I feel like I need to update a specific driver or something? But I know nothing about that stuff. Could that be causing my computer to freeze? But whenever I go into Windows settings and check my drivers it already says I'm using the latest one. My final thought I had was my PC could be overheating but it doesn't seem hot or make hardly any noise. I have my PS4 on top of the tower and also 2 speakers on top of it. Could that be the cause of anything? Also loads of wires all jumbled up together at the back of my desk.


    I've researched everywhere for help, for a fix ect and I still haven't solved this. I've ran commands through the run thing on Windows, I've held CTRL, Alt and Shift and pressed B which apparently resets the graphics driver or something, I've restored my whole PC so it's all fresh and everything deleted and it still freezes! I also went in to that folder called temp or something like that and deleted everything because someone recommended that could help. This was by the way a brand new PC I bought from Currys PC World.



    Here is some more information on my system:

    I'm not asking for a massive essay of what to do because that just causes confusion. I want short nice and easy steps of what to do if you know how to solve this. That is the best way to solve this. Thanks!

    :)

    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
