I have a custom built PC, that originally had 8.1 on it and was upgraded to 10. I use to have random outages where my USB devices completely stopped working after upgrading to windows 10. I did a complete reinstall a while ago and it seemed to fix it, but I randomly have crashes / freezes that I need to hard shutdown the PC. I tried combing through the event log and I can't really make heads or tails of it. I do see a Critical Kernel-Power code but I think that's from me killing the power with the main switch. windows itself (task bar, start bar, etc) is all unresponsive while my apps are, but once I try to close an app it freezes too. It's the weirdest thing I've seen myself.
Another weird thing is that when I hit my reset button on the front of my case, it loads into a "insert bootable media" black and white screen which I have to hard power cycle the box to get it to boot into windows. Sometimes the normal power boot will give this screen, and I have to reboot the power, but that's rare too.
Can anyone tell me what data I need to give to get help in isolating this annoying issue?
Apologies in the paragraphs of text, this has been on my pet peeves list for a while, just been too lazy to fix and in the mind set "I can play games as it, just leave it be" but I really do need to get this fixed.
