I'm not planning on going too much into the freeze problem since it is something that can be hard to troubleshoot, but what were you doing when the freeze came? Details of the situation would help.
Assuming the browser was Chrome:
- In the right upper corner, click on and choose settings.
- Scroll below and click on 'advanced settings', scroll all the way to the end of the settings.
- In the part 'system' is the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration.
- If this option is enabled disable it
That is possible, I recall to have posted that a few times though I wasn't sure if I posted it here or in the previous thread or somewhere else.
Anyway keep me posted on the situation :)
Lets get back to this troubleshooting step Several Kernel Errors within a day? - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums
The result was a working system in safe mode, though the GPU isn't used in safe mode.
Please perform a clean boot again, watch the temperatures at all times (if you didn't yet) and from there we'll see what needs to be done. Please do not enable anything in taskmanager & msconfig, I want you to boot without any startup items & services enabled.
What was the BSOD stop code? Based on the BSOD stop code I'll edit the suggestion in this post.
There is no reason why Windows would ask for a key, in most cases a digital entitlement is registered on the servers of Microsoft which registers the hardware you're using. This makes that you could install Windows 10 infinitely without problems for activation, because when Windows checks the servers for activation it sees the digital entitlement. Only if you change the motherboard you would have to get a new key as that is seen as a new system.
I'm wondering where that question came from :)
