  1. Windows soft locking randomly


    Sometimes when using my computer, especially when I'm just watching videos in a browser or just browsing in general, my computer will soft lock. I'm not able to close the browser, open any other programs, use the start menu or the taskbar. Attempting to shut off the computer through software either does nothing, or attempts to shut down infinitely. I am forced to hold down the power button for the PC to shut down.. I have reimaged the computer 3 times, ran memtest86 with no errors, ran chkdsk with no errors, ran sfc with no errors, and at this point I'm at a loss. Reliability monitor reports 2

    :)

    Windows 10 freezes randomly

    Hi,

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

    • Which is the last Windows update build you've applied to the computer?
    • Are there any third party applications that are currently installed?
    Furthermore, we suggest that you do a BIOS update to your computer. Here are the steps:

    • Check the motherboard manufacturer's website to find the specific model of your motherboard.
    • Go to the computer manufacturer's website.
    • Look for the computer model that you're using.
    • You should find any available BIOS update.

    Let us know how it goes.
