PC Freezes For Like 1 - 3 Seconds
Oct 1, 2015
So this started like last week where i get these small lags when my pc freezes for like 1-3 seconds. It can happen when i play games or just browsing. It happens probably like 2 times every hour. This is a problem for me because when i play csgo and im shooting towards someone and everything just lags and i die. It's a small problem but it is really frustrating. And just today while i was playing Arma 3 my pc completely froze and i had to restart it by holding down the button on the case.
Specs:
Nvidia gtx 760 2gb
i5-4460 3.2 GHz
Seagate SSHD 1TB
500W Corsair

This is a problem that has been plaguing me across years and several computers.Every hour or so, and it doesn't seem to matter what application I have open, Windows will become unresponsive for a few seconds. Then it will go away.
On this system I have 8 gb ram and I am running light applications. I have a new i-5 skylake processor and a good asus mobo. And a reputable SSD, too. I just installed windows 10 pro x64 a week ago. I have this problem even without third-party AV, as I found out after I uninstalled my AV.

So recently I installed a new driver supplied from the GeForce Experience app. I believe it was version 361.43 or so. After installation, I turned off my computer. Come back next day. Turn on laptop, computer bugs out after signing in, then crashes... Now, Windows 10 responded with a few errors. First came DPC watchdog violation. Then came something like nvidkrnl or something. Then nvid something something Fatal error. Finally came less than or equal to. All error reports came on separate occasion. The second and third errors are recurring. Now, I tried uninstalling everything related to Nvidia to see if the issue will be gone (as this has happened before. Uninstalling everything fixed it last time ). None of my recovery points are present.

Since I've updated from windows 7 to windows 10, the computer occasionally freezes for about 10 to 30 seconds and nothing but the mouse pointer works.
It happens every now and then but mostly a few minutes after the computer has started and then every now and then. If it freezes in the middle of a download for example, the download simply continues after the freeze ends.
I have scanned the PC with numerous anti virus applications such as ESET NOD32, Malewarebytes and Norton.

Since I upgraded to windows 10, I get random 0.5 seconds freezes while i play games, which run smoothly between freezes. I use an acer aspire 5742G laptop, Intel core i5 cpu 2.53 GHz, NVidia GeForce GT 540M gpu. I haven't had this problem before upgrading to windows 10. I am pretty sure overheating is not the issue - I have checked the temperatures, I also have a cooler. The problem also applies to games with low cpu usage.

I recently updated my HP to Windows 10. During setup after I logged in, I got the BSOD. I thought there was nothing wrong until I logged in and found out that I didn't have Start Menu access. About 10 seconds later, the BSOD came up again. Now every time I log in, about 10 to 30 seconds after login, I get the BSOD.

my computer has been acting strange as of 2 days ago. I was initially just browsing the net and everything stopped loading. I thought my internet went out and I shut down my computer thinking nothing of it. I tried starting it up again later that day but it would freeze a few seconds after I log in.
The strange this is, it works for about 5-10 s then my pointer changes to that spinning blue wheel and everything becomes unresponsive. I can't click anything or use my keyboard, but I can still move the pointer. Here are some of the things I've tried:
Restart in safe mode (same type of crashing occurs, can move mouse but can't do anything else)Restart in safe mode with command prompt to run sfc /scannow. (initial attempt froze at 100%, hard rebooted and tried again but now it freezes at the file verification stage)"Reset this PC", ( froze at 8%)

Windows 10 installed beautifully and seems to run fast on my Toshiba laptop but the screen flashes every 30 seconds. When it flashes it looks like a small window opens and closes immediately. Any dialogue box open is reset, and there is disk activity. 2 tasks pop up to the top of the list in Task Manager: dwm.exe and explorer.exe. It happens all the time, whether there are any applications open or not.

Brought new CPU+motherboard. Decided to use windows 10. Getting BSODs all the time, every few seconds or minutes. Sometimes even while installation i getting CLOCK_WATCHDOG_FAILED. If i got lucky and windows successfully installed. It bsoding every few seconds with: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_FAILED, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, HAL_INITALIZATION_FAILED. Can't install any drivers. I tired to use win10,win8,win7-Clean install. Everywhere - same issues, same BSODs.
Hardware(Nothing overclocked):
CPU: AMD FX 9590 - CPU and Motherboard was tested in guarantee service via IDA64, SiSoft Sandra. No issues was found.
MB: ASRock Fatal1ty 970 Performance
GPU: GeForce GTX780 - Have 2 more similar cards. Tried with every of them. Same problem.
RAM: 8+8gb 1600mhz Dual-Channel mode. Tested via memtest 1day. No issues.
HDD: Have 6HDDs, all was tested. No bad sectors. SMART report also fine. Bsods happens on all of them.
PSU: Thermaltake 1200WTT, all voltages looks fine. Anyway i tried with hiPro 1000wtt - same issues.
BIOS have last version v1.20. Tried to reset CMOS. Running windows diagnostic tools gives nothing. When i trying to use windows cmd.exe and run SFC /SCANNOW it gives me BSOD in a few seconds. DISM gives me the same - bsod. Running SFC /scannow via windows DVD says everything fine.
I have a few more old amd FX cpu's. I can try to use them if can find the problem.

I'm using Windows 10 and I changed all of my When Computer Sleeps settings and my screen still goes black after about 30 seconds of inactivity. Not really sure why this happens because I changed all of the settings for the screen shutting off to never.

I've had this issue for a while and haven't really bothered to do anything about it till now. Since I upgrade to Win10 some months ago, I've noticed that every time I start or reboot my PC my internet connection dissappears after the first 5-10 seconds and then returns some ~60 seconds later. The loss of connectivity is not displayed in the Network sys_tray nor will Chrome/Edge tell me I do not have a connection. What happens instead is that the browser tabs take a very long time to load until they all suddenly load at once. Services like steam connect on start up, but then I go into offline mode as soon as I "lose the connection".
I'm not using WiFi and have not changed any hardware since upgrading to Win10. My suspicion is that I'm able to receive packages, but my outgoing packages are being, somehow, blocked. I am using zonealarm but have also tried with it uninstalled.

it has given me several reasons for BSOD, such as: unexpected kernel mode trap security check failure and others...
I am running in safe mode now without problem for quite a while so I guess it is a driver problem, I hope?
here is my debug thing

My second HDD (Samsung HD155UI, 1,5 TB) is, as of today, clicking every 30 seconds, as in briefly parking the head or something. I've been using that drive for over 3 years without one single problem, and only recently (i.e. less than a week ago) did I upgrade to Windows 10 - while at the same time swapping out some parts for good measure - CPU, Motherboard, GPU and RAM. Of course I did the whole clean install shebang, and in the beginning everything ran absolutely smoothly. Installed all of my apps and drivers, moved all of my data back, and no problems whatsoever. Yes, Windows is activated.
Now today I'm playing - ironically - Clicker Heroes on Steam. I usually leave it idling in the background while I'm doing other stuff on the PC, however I've started to notice this regular clicking sound. At first I thought it was my external hard drive - turned that off, no dice. Eavesdropped into my PC and quickly found out it was the secondary HDD, as my main SSD couldn't possibly be the source of the noise. Panic ensued, immediately ran a backup in case the drive went south. During the backup, no clicking whatsoever. After it was done, the clicking resumed.
Chkdsk'd the quick way, and once with /r - during the checks, the drive's quiet as a ninja, but once those completed without errors, click. Click. Click.
CrystalDiskInfo also shows my Drive in good health, and I have the latest firmware for it too. Event viewer showed no irregularities (apart from one single "ID 157 - Disk 2 has been surprise removed"), so I thought it must be some idle setting or power management thing. Checked power options a thousand times, "turn off hard disk after" setting was initially at 20, I set it to 0, then 60, then 120. Nothing changed whatsoever.
BIOS power management settings are all turned off as far as I am concerned. Pretty sure I combed everything through, unless there's some hidden setting.
Now, cue the Resource monitor. It clearly shows some activity spikes (blue curve) every time the drive clicks, which happens exactly every 30 seconds. However, I cannot for the life of me identify what it is that is causing these spikes.
At some point I suspected something with the Chipset or something, maybe RST was messing with my HDD. But uninstalling it (as well as disabling RST in BIOS) yielded no substantial improvement.
So now what's left for me to do is:
- Boot into Safe mode, see if issue prevails there
- Plug the SATA cable of the HDD into a different port, see if that changes anything
- Try a different hard drive (that I don't have right now so meh)
- reinstall Windows 10 (last resort, I'd rather avoid this)

I have this issue where windows seems to hang/get stuck every 5 to 10 seconds for about 2 seconds, like right now while I am typing. I type the words and about three words types out and then hangs for 2 seconds and the rest I typed while stuck gets lost and I have to backspace and restart again.... Same happens with mouse clicks, sometimes when I click it does not register (I presume it is right in that 2 sec delay sweet spot) but the mouse cursor movement is smooth and does not get stuck.
SO I checked my Task Manager and found that RAM,CPU and Network are all low in the 10% - 20%, but my HDD Runs at like 80% -100% all the time. See Screenshots of Task Manager and Resource monitor. The disk keeps getting used full load every 5 to 10 sec.
I have tried disabling Disk Defragment service in the Task Scheduler and several other tips I found on the net but no luck.

I have had windows 10 since the Insider program started but I never needed to use sleep until now. But whenever I put my computer to sleep it wakes up 30 seconds later. I have made sure that my network card, keyboard,mouse and controllers aren't allowed wake the computer. How can I stop my Computer waking up?

I have a problem with my mouse. For some reason, my razer mouse keeps freezing when I'm using it. I can use it for maybe 30 seconds, and it will cut out in 10 seconds, and then come back. I have used this mouse in about 2 years without a problem, but it started occurring about 10 days ago. I don't know if the mouse is broken, or if it's installed incorrectly.

1. After clean installing to Windows 10 (by formatting and then deleting all drives and installing Windows to the unallocated space), I get these hidden drives (the ones that are not the C drive).
- What are these drives and can I remove it?
- Previously when I did a clean install to Windows 8.1, there was only the C drive and the System Reserved partition, where is it now? I thought that it's created when you install Windows to the unallocated space, but apparently not always.
If you can't see the image, there is:
+ No name, 1mb unallocated space.
+ Recovery, type GPT (Unused Partition).
+ No name, type GPT (EFI System Partition).
+ No name, type GPT (Reserved Partition).
2. Would it be more "clean" if:
+ During the install window, I delete all drives, install Windows to the unallocated space, then once Windows is all set up, install a partition program such as EaseUs' and create new drives.
Or
+ During the install window, I delete all drives, then create new drives, then install Windows to the C drive?
3. Do I need the Intel Driver? The only Intel driver that's suitable with Windows 10, as I checked on that page, is in Beta. (I'm making a list of all the programs and software I need to install after )
4. When installing Windows 7, it asked that I must unplug my USB after it's done installing everything, and so I get the laptop cleaned. But to Windows 8, it didn't ask that anymore, but the screen and pretty much is still the same. Can I unplug the USB during its "10 seconds till restart"?

I have Windows 10 installed on 2 of my 3 computers. A 2 screen video editing machine that I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 works perfectly - I open Windows Explorer, I either hold the mouse over the left part of a file name, or right click on top of a file name for the dialog menu to come and then click rename, either way I am then able to rename the file to what I want.
But I re-installed (after the successful WIN7 upgrade) Windows 10 over Windows 8.1 on my main 27" HP and like it did the first time whenever I open a Windows Explorer program - whether from the taskbar or from a shortcut - and do the same to rename the file (either hold left or right mouse) so the filename is highlighted and as I start to retype the new file name it just automatically refreshes and reverts back to the original file name.

After installing and enjoying Windows 10 for a few weeks, I am having problems with the Photo app. I was able to open it up with no problems and it showed me all my pictures but I few days ago, I opened it up and it quit after a few seconds. I kept open it with the same results: it opens , acts as if it is loading some pictures but it quits by itself after about 5-7 seconds.
I am providing with an error report from Windows 10.
