Windows 10: Windows 11 and Windows 10 randomly freezing followed by BSOD

For the past several months, I've had a reoccuring issue with my PC randomly freezing, and then after a while, getting a BSOD, after which it restarts.Usually everything freezes, as in audio, cursor and screen, but occassionally, I can move my cursor around for a while, or I can hear audio cut out and come back on before it finally stops too. Then, after a varying amount of time, I will get a blue screen of death, with the error code DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. The event viewer also has some noteworthy information.The latest crash started off with this in the event viewer:5007 - TX/CMD&n

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.

 

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
