Everything randomly freezes (Not Responding)
(Please tell me immediately if I posted this in the correct thread...)
As the title says, Everything just randomly freezes from time to time, and if I try to do anything the "Not Responding" label shows on the window. I mostly want to make sure whether this is a software problem rather than hardware, because from where I am, what I already have is considered as "very expensive" already and even I know it's not even a good rig...
To further it up, I've tried several of things like for software, I did: Defragmenting, Antivirus Scan, Malware Scan, tried those rootkit/adware cleaners, updated drivers, did some registry cleaning (CCleaner...), and CHKDSK scans.
And for hardware, I did: Cleaning the GPU Fans/Vents, CPU Heatsink, and the Motherboard.
I have also checked for errors in the Event logs, but nothing, no error logs were created whenever these freezes happened. I'm really worried that It's my HDD or CPU, as my HDD have about 300 GB worth of projects and my CPU is rather the most expensive part I currently have...
I'm currently uploading a video (via crappy phone camera and is uploading in YouTube) but it should only show how the freezes happen.
And a quick note about the "freezes" whenever one program freezes, then almost every program freezes along with it, mostly that gets frozen along with it are the system programs like sound, explorer, control panel, etc.
My specs should be in my profile. Please kindly give out suggestions or thorough explanations and such.
Thank you.
EDIT: The video I was talking about that shows how the random not responding/freezes happen is shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3XmDnhaTUY
(Please don't mind the background sound, someone was watching TV...)
Another EDIT: So, I tried this "Sensor View" program and ran it as someone suggested to check my temperatures, and most were at around 30-45 degrees (Celsius) but as we kept checking, a sudden "not responding" happened and when it got back to normal, the HDD usage bar spiked up from 0% to 100%
Is that normal whenever something becomes "not responding"?
