    Windows suddenly freezing and need to do hard shudown every time


    Whenever I start my laptop windows boots perfectly fine. But after some time(unpredictable) it freezes and nothing works. I can't do anything other than a force shut down by pressing the power button.

    Shudown problem

    Hi Dave,

    To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to manage the Power Settings in Windows 10:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Go to Systems and select Power & Sleep.
    • Click Additional power settings.
    • Select your preferred plan then click Change plan settings.
    • Power Options pop up will open. Click Hard disk, and then click
      Turn off hard disk after.
    • Set your preferred setting.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    Computer Hard Freezes Randomly - No Error logs or Memory dumps


    I posted on Sevenforums a few days ago regarding this issue:
    I was suggested to check for temps (all were normal) and perform a clean install of Windows 10 (I had upgraded from Windows 7). I had another hard freeze today similar to the ones I was having before. The issue is back and I'm unsure of what to do next. Is this no longer a software issue if reinstalling the OS was unsuccessful?

    Thanks for your time!
