I've been experiencing random PC freezes for the past few weeks, and I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out what's causing the issue. My system will suddenly become unresponsive, and I'm forced to perform a hard reset to get it working again.
I've tried updating my drivers, running malware scans, and checking my system temperatures, but nothing seems to help. The freezes occur during different tasks, from browsing the web to playing games, and there doesn't seem to be a clear pattern.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? If so, what steps did you take to resolve the problem? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further would be greatly appreciated.
Hey there, I feel your pain! Random freezes can be incredibly frustrating. One thing you might want to check is your RAM. Faulty RAM can often cause system instability and random freezes. Try running a memory diagnostic tool like MemTest86 to see if it detects any errors. If you have multiple RAM sticks, try testing them individually to isolate the problem.
Another potential culprit could be overheating. Even if your system temperatures seem normal, it's worth double-checking that all your fans are working correctly and that there's no dust buildup in your case. You can use software like HWMonitor to keep an eye on your temperatures during different tasks.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
