Freezes when loading Windows & random crashes
Hello good folks. I've had problems with my computer for several days now that I have not been able to solve. Sometimes my computer works but I keep running into the problems below. I think the problems might be connected.
Problem 1: Computer seems to start up normally but no screen displays anything
I've had this problem on and off for several years. Sometimes it happens frequently, sometimes it doesn't happen for several months. I always manage to solve it by restarting, switching places of the scart cables, starting with one screen only (I have two screens) etc.
Problem 2: Computer freezes during Windows loading screen
When this happens the only thing I can do is restart the computer. See image.
Problem 3: Random crashes
If I manage to get past problem 1 and 2 I can use the computer for a while, but in the end it always ends of crashing. These days it usually takes about 2-60 minutes for it to crash.
I've tried a bunch of things to fix my computer, some of them that I remember are:
- Running an SFC scan.
- Running the DISM tool with these commands:
- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
- Performing a Windows reset to remove all my programs but keep my files. This is the last thing I've tried.
I still run into the problems previously mentioned. I don't know what to do at this point, and I would be extremely grateful for any help. My guess it that it is a hardware issue but I would like to be completely sure of that before I replace anything. Also, if it is a hardware issue, I would like to know what component is failing. The motherboard maybe? I don't know, I'm thankful for any help you can give me.
Thank you!
