So my problem is this... my computer freezes once in a while, without ANY warning, without ANY certain software/situation. It just freezes sometimes out of nowhere I have absolutely no idea what could cause this, because it is SO random, since it can happen anytime doing anything/or just afking and coming back finding out the computer has frozen. It doesn't even occur in a certain(ish) time.
Basically, it can happen doing anything, or even doing nothing, without any sign and whenever.

I know the problem is really hard to solve, because it gives absolutely ZERO clues, what could cause it.

Feel free to ask for additional information!

the hard drive is mechanical.

a spinning disk read by a magnetic header inside a drive cage, so basically it has a lifespan that's decreased by just plain using the dive.

if the computer is still usable, then back up important data then get a new hard drive.

you can still use the old hard drive as storage, if there is no "clicking noise" emanating from it during use.

Yeah, haven't heard any clicking noises from the hard drive. And yes it could very likely the end of it's lifespan, because its like approximately 8-9 old or so :D (cheap me)
And the computer is perfectly usable. It just happens very randomly and not that frequently, so i can use the computer normally, until it just freezes sometimes.

Okay, found out that the kernel power is registered, when i shut the computer down the hard way (pressing the power button for long)
The freezings have been the only cause, when i have had to shut the computer down manually, so i can see the dates when the freezes have happened from the event viewer.
