My Computer Keeps Freezing!
Hi, I recently joined this community, so if I do something wrong, don't be afraid to correct me.

Anyway, it's been two weeks now and my computer constantly freezes at random times. I don't think it has anything to do with overheating issues, because it still freezes with only ONE application. I've looked at event logs and can't seem to find anything that is of relevance to overheating. I can post up my event logs if anyone is curious. I'm not sure if has anything to do with hardware. I updated my graphics drivers, but it still keeps freezing. I'm stuck in a rut.

I would greatly appreciate any information that could help me with this issue.

Here are my specs:

download process explorer and see if any process is causing too much usage of comp resources, run msconfig and disable unwanted startups, uninstall unneeded programs, check hdd for atleast 10% free space, run defrag, check for malware using malwarebytes full scan

those are the things you can try, hopefully would clear out and make the computer faster overall
ccleaner also has a registry cleaner, try that too if you have not
