Windows 10: Windows 11 Randomly Hanging

PC:Ryzen 7 5700XB450 mobo1050 Ti32 GB DDR4 2600MhzWhile on a discord call with friends, and particularly playing Valorant, my PC chooses a random time to hang itself. What's notable is I can still hear sounds, especially from my friends; however, I cannot entirely use the PC. The mouse pointer will be gone and everything is frozen.I cannot pinpoint directly what is causing the issue since it does not cause a PC crash or a BSOD. On the other hand, there was once a time my PC did get a BSOD, so I was able to get a minidump file as attached. I'm not sure though if this is related to the PC hangin

Windows 10 Hanging Randomly

I'm getting a persistent hanging when playing games, that seems to occur randomly. The system will completely hang up and become unresponsive, and when it does this, more often than not it's accompanied by a loud, screeching static that is heard through the headphones or speakers (whatever audio device is plugged in.) Sometimes the audio just buzzes, and in some occasions, all connected USB devices like keyboard and mouse lose power all at once and do not get power when plugged back in. I've run through the bucket list of solutions I could think of, and none of them have alleviated these issues. I'm still not entirely sure if this is a software or hardware issue. If needed, I can post videos of what happens when my PC hangs. Thanks PC Specs:

• Windows Version 10 Pro Version 20H2 - Build 19042.1645
• Intel i7-5820k @ 3.50 Ghz

Windows randomly hangs on OC

Hi guys, hopefully I can get a bit of help with the problem I'm having overclocking my i5-760.

So, basically the problem is that no matter what overclock I put into my CPU, I've had it stable through hours of stress tests at 4Ghz or 3.8Ghz, for some reason it will randomly hang in Windows when doing just plain innocuous things like surfing the net or doing nothing at all. It happens randomly, it might happen after 30 mins, or it might happen after 2 hours, but it always seems to happen.

I'm really at a loss. It's not like it's an unstable* overclock - it runs stress tests fine and I've never had it over 65ºC and never had a BSOD. It's essentially a fresh Win 7 install too.

I've disabled Turbo Boost, but suspect it may have something to do with the other power states and options as in this screenshot:




But running a overclock with these disabled still hangs. Maybe I should be running it with C1E & C3 etc enabled?

Thanks for you help.

* Of course it technically is an unstable overclock, but whatever.

 

Laptop randomly hangs while in sleep mode

Dude! You are a beast!

1) Problems with G: were caused by trying to run a drive on a janky old USB extender.
I don't know what to do about the Macrium file.

3) Yes, shutdowns were due to me killing the system when it hung.

4) I never installed any McAfee products. Must be bloatware. There were no McAfee products listed in Add/Remove Programs -- possible I already deleted the pre-installed products? But there was still a ton of McAfee-related files out there. I ran the MCPR removal tool but there are still 170 files with "McAfee" in the name, who knows how many more without that string.

5) I uninstalled Malwarebytes. I assume I can reinstall when I finish this?

6) My laptop's support page is
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers...03?sku=5UK31AV
Here are the drivers that HP recommends. Is there a way to get an equivalent list telling me what's currently installed? Or should I just install the list they gave me?




7) This laptop has a dual-mode display, and therefore two separate drivers:



I assume I un/reinstall both of them? They were already on the drive list above.

8) The HP site above lists F.31 rev A. I'll install it.

10) The software associated with VBoxNetLwf is VirtualBox. I just freshly installed that (for the first time) last week. Doubt it needs to be re-installed yet?

11) I'll run HD Tune after I update drivers & BIOS.

12) Do I want to look for Intel driver updates? Shouldn't I go with the possibly HP-customized drivers from step 6, and not overwrite them with Intel drivers?

13-14) Will do after updates.

Do I need to do anything with the reports you posted, or was that just documenting the process?
