  1. Windows randomly breaking and 'partially freezing'


    I'd usually google a problem but I just dont know where to start and ive been trying for 2 weeks now:


    While I'm using my computer it will randomly break or 'partially freeze'. It has done this since I reinstalled windows from a usb stick I made using the WMCT.


    When it does this it I can still interact with some stuff, but it does the following:

    • The clock will stop working, and will stay on the same time it was when it froze
    • the laptop trackpad will stop working and the scrollwheel of my mouse will also stop working, while I can still move the cursor by moving the mouse.
    • I can click the start button, but it will not show any programs
    • when I right click the taskbar and click 'task manager' it will not open taskmanager, and will leave a ghost image of the button Windows randomly breaking and 'partially freezing' 69be4169-37c6-4543-a16d-459f8fd7284b?upload=true.png
    • Audio stops working
    • Programs will stop working and freeze, discord will freeze completely, and when I watch youtube using chrome, the audio stops working, and then starts buffering and then freezes.

    The only way I can get out of all this is to force a shutdown by holding the power button. This is only a temporary solution as it always seems to happen again. When I do this it sometimes loses the time and will show the time it froze at until it gets a chance to reconnect with the time server.


    Extra Details:

    Hardware wise, I am using a Dell XPS 15 9570, with an i5 8300H, gtx 1050 and 8gb of ram.

  2. 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.

    Hi,

    To better assist you regarding Windows 10 which freezes randomly, please provide the following:
