Windows 10 is freezing

RiodaTeroquin · Jul 30, 2016

Hi guys,
3 days before I installed a clean version of windows 10 on a Sandisk z400s 128gb ssd, but since yesterday every 2 to 10 minutes all open programs are crashing ( XXXX stop working) for about 30 seconds and then them spontaneously recovers

What could it be? Thanks

Have you made it thru windows update ?

Driver failures can do this. SSD hardware problems can do this.

DRIVERS: Did you buy this computer or build it? If bought get latest drivers from website for win and load them. If built then get to MB maker's site and download all drivers from there (bios plus all chipset, audio, etc). Assuming you have a video card get new drivers from AMD or NVIDIA.

SSD: Run smart diagnostics on tool you can download from Sandisk.

I downloaded windows installer from microsoft website, I build It.
I will try to update drivers and download sandisk tool, the last thing I did before this problem appears was installing a few games and replaced drivers for ethernet port, I also have a 2tb HDD without partitions

Hmmmm, the last thing you did before the problem was replace drivers for the ethernet port,

Just because the timing is suspicious, can you go to device manager and roll back the driver for the enet port ?

I replaced the E2200 killer because it was not working and install Qualcomm Atheros 8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30), If i go back my ethernet port wont work

RiodaTeroquin :

Understand. If you roll the ethernet driver back, and the ethernet port is not working, can you do enough work to know if your freezing problem went away? If you can learn WHY the PC is freezing then debugging is a lot easier. IF the PC still freezes with the driver rolled back then just reinstall the driver. If the PC stops freezing with the driver rolled back then look for a different driver.

If you don't want to roll back the ethernet driver then at least go into device manager, open the ethernet adapter properties driver tab and ask windows to update the driver using windows update. If it says you already have the most current driver then you are all set. If it installs a different driver that might fix your problem.

Try to make it through windows update. If you let windows choose the drivers you are installing then most of the common wrong driver problems go away.

You said you did a clean install of W10, and the ethernet was not working. So...
where did you get your updated driver from? MoBo mfg? Ethernet mfg?
What I suspect is that you might have gotten the wrong driver - or perhaps one not certified for use with W10.
I had to get my Enet driver from my MoBo website too.
Also, check your hardware in device manager for conflicts, and for errors in event viewer.
Event viewer, it turns out, has become my new favorite Tshooting tool.
