Periodical PC Freezing

(1/6) > >>

Hello all,

I am getting some freezes from time to time. When it freezes...it is either temporary or permanent and requires a power down and power on.

Scenario 1:
When playing a game.... the game freezes yet the pc is still responsive... If I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL it will become unfrozen shortly afterwards...the picture blinks and the game is responsive.

Scenario 2:
Right after a restart if I begin to activate a program or access file explorer...The PC freezes permanently requiring a power off/on.

Please help...So annoying to have these little instabilities....

Thanks,
Layne

Do you clean out the temp file cache regularly ?

I run the free version of CCleaner after each session. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

If you don't get the freezes in Safe Mode with Networking then it may be worth looking for a graphics driver update and Event Viewer may have something recorded - just look for the time stamps that correspond to the freezes.

I don't think it will be a memory problem but you could run a memory test or if you have more than one RAM module installed, try it with just each stick.

I use CC Cleaner regulary and I also use the cleaner with Tweaking.com Windows Repair Pro.

Still having freezes...=-(

Boggin:
What about the rest of my post ?

layne81:
event viewer shows nothing and i have latest nvidia drivers.

I can run memtest86 overnight tonight to see if its a memory issue.
