Laptop freezes or doesn't shutdown half of the time
For some reason, starting last Tuesday, my computer sometimes freezes or doesn't open any programs. Even if it freezes, the cursor can still be moved and the CAPS LOCK responds. It also sometimes allows me to open the start screen (this is Windows 8.1) and click shutdown but it doesn't shutdown and stays on and all I can do is open and close the start screen. I have to force it off anytime this happens. I have tried the following to fix it (It is in chronological order):
1. Run a scan for the entire drive with both Windows Defender(MSE for Windows 8) and MBAM
2. Uninstall an program that I thought was causing the issue
3. Disabled all startup programs that I don't need
4. Do a system restore to a point without the issue
5. Did 2 and 3 again since it was undone because of the system restore
6. Run sfc /verifyonly multiple times (I used verifyonly instead of scannow in case it finds anything and tries to fix it since I didn't have the time, and it didn't find anything)
7. Update the drivers and preinstalled LG software with the official LG Update Center program (more details about it here:Drivers Install without restart)
I did lightly bump the monitor lid part into the wall on Monday or Tuesday but I'm sure the monitor is fine and SSDs shouldn't take damage from a very slight force and I also checked the health of the SSDs.
