Random Freezes and BSOD
Hello,
Recently I've been getting random freezes and lockups of varying circumstances. The most common one would be windows would stop responding when I'm either browsing the web or watching a video or gaming. It would stop responding to any keyboard commands but the mouse would still be movable and any clicks (say on the maximise button) would look to have been clicked but would never actually do anything.
The same scenario would occur another time but instead of non responsive buttons, the cursor would spin, and Ctrl + Alt + Del would bring up "Preparing Security Options" and stay like that until I give up and hit the power button.
I've run Memtest86 with no issues over 7 passes, I think all my drives are up to date, and I've run CCleaner. I've also run Verifier on all non-Microsoft drivers which immediately BSOD as soon as Windows started back up.
"SF scannow" came up with nothing as well as AV scan with MSE and Malwarebytes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
