Windows 10: Windows 10 Randomly Freezes 64-bit

Just within the last couple of weeks, my Windows 10 desktop has started randomly freezing up. I have run Norton deep scan, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender and nothing was found. I also ran a Defrag, along with Memory Test(no errors) and Check Disk(no errors), so I am totally baffled.

I used to be able to dig into Windows XP and figure out the problems, but Windows 10 is beyond me.


I am running:
Windows 10 64-bit (Whatever the free version of Win10 was)
Chrome Browser (fully up to date)
Norton Security Suite (kept fully up to date)

AMD A6 w/4gig RAM


Not sure what other info is needed...


It really doesn't matter how graphic intensive or how many windows or anything...I can even be playing Microsoft Solitaire with nothing else running and it will hang up.


Help???

windows 10 pro 64 bit freezes randomly

Dear Zigzag3143,

I have installed almost same programs on both the computers (32 bit laptop and 64 bit desktop). The programs show no conflict (freezing) with windows 7 professional (64 bit) on the same desktop but, windows 10 pro freezes randomly with the same programs.

Interestingly, checking system before installing the upgrade to Windows 10 pro approves the system for installing the upgrade. So, there seems to be no problem with the desktop hardware for windows 10 pro.

 

Windows 10 freezes randomly

I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin

I had tried that as well... no result.

Turning off fast startup helped with this issue for another user on a different forum. For newbies, see steps Windows 10 Freezes Randomly.
