    Windows Issue: Random crashes, black screens, PC freezing


    Hello, I'm currently facing the occasional random crashes. I also find myself with a black screen in a middle of a game requiring a reboot and from time to time the PC just locks/freezes. General performance issues are also a problem too. For example loading up task-manager or excessive frame drops during games. I would like help on figuring out the possible causes. Let me know if you require more information and I will gladly get them for you. Most of my PC specs are already in my profile. ----------------- Windows 10 Version: 19043.1110 ------------------ Many thanks!

    :)

    Random Crash/Freeze on Build 10130


    Hello everyone.

    I have been running the Windows 10 preview for the last few months and other than a driver issue here or there, did not experience any real problems. However, with the last update to build 10130, I have been experiencing a random crash/freeze that manifests itself in one of two ways:

    1. If I step away from the computer and come back before the monitor is set to go to sleep, I will come back to a frozen cursor, unable to do anything.
    2. If I step away from the computer and come back after the monitor has gone to sleep, I will come back to a black screen, unable to do anything.
    In both cases, I have to hold the power button in to shut down the computer for a restart.

    Any direction or help would be greatly appreciated.
