This started a few days ago, my computer just froze, nothing was responding, mouse didnt move, everything was just frozen, Only way I could stop it was to turn off then turn back on, then it was fine, then next day it does the same and etc. Please tell me how I can fix this??
 
Post your full system specs, and make sure to list any hardware or software changes you made in the few days prior to this issue occuring.

Run memtest for a few passes to check for memory errors, use prime 95 to check and make sure your CPU is still fine. Those should tell us if its a hardware issue.
