Windows 10 locks up (no BSOD though) - takes down router
Hi
I'm not sure this is the right section of the forum to post, but I'm hoping someone can help me with a strange issue I'm having with windows 10.
Every 2/3 days the system will lock up with no output to the monitor. This also causes my router to stop serving an internet connection to all devices.
A hard reset of the windows 10 PC brings it back and the router continues serving an internet connection again (no restart of the router required).
There is nothing in the windows event logs indicating anything unexpected happening before the lock-up. (Only "The previous system shutdown at 10:21:47 on 04/01/2016 was unexpected" upon restart).
This has started happening after upgrading from windows 7. The system was fine for well over 2 years with Windows 7. I tried a fresh installation of Win10 hoping this would solve it, but the issue has reoccurred.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Taking down the router sounds like its a network related issue perhaps.
Thanks for help
