Windows 10 freezes randomly

Greetings,

I have made it a rule that I don’t ever post in forum threads. But the instability of windows 10 for me and 85 pages of this thread and the complicated nature of this issue, I feel that what I have in my event viewer is important in sharing. if I have made an error in my judgment here please let me know and I will cease my dribble.

I am a computer equipment technician by trade and not a software person. I have been experiencing the same freezing as everyone else in the list and have tried the following: (will append as i remember)

changing my power profile,
winsxs,
turning off windows firewall
turning off windows defender
turning off windows update

using a clean install, and anything else I can’t remember after 2 weeks of trying things in this list.

In the morning hours at 09/03/2017 0425 my computer froze. When I got on at 0830 I found that the 2 windows I had left open, the event viewer and a this webpage on page 11, I could not access but explorer would respond as well as my keyboard and mouse. In the event viewer, I discovered 14 errors of source sidebyside event ID 9, as well as error 33.

I don't know if my information is something important enough to share, but i feel it might.

I can provide my event view details upon request i just wanted to make sure that what i have is valid enough be for posting such a long list of data.

As a side note, I play Morrowind and have been adding mod files to the game folder. I have been opening zip files with 7zip and coping them to the data file folder it is during this copying that my computer is freezing

Hi seaeagle, event 33 is HW error, I get that a lot when OC goes wrong. You can get details if you double click on an event. If you are sure that your HW is OK, you could try running system checks first:
sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth as well as diskcheck.

Did you test disks ?

"I also have noticed that my pc tends to freeze while copying files from a 7zip file to a secondary harddrive", check that HDD good. Checkdisk, Download Hard Disk Sentinel and/or test program from disk's manufacturer.

Does it do that just for a few seconds, then take off normally?

i just ran windows troubleshooter and fixed a few more thing will have to see what happens.
doubled check my power setting and made sure to turn off all sleep and hibernate modes

when my computer freezes it requires a hard restart.

my secondary HDD is good.

I am running out of thing to try...just dont know what else to try

also noticed if i leave my mouse of key board idled for to long it freezes

just froze up again.

well i am going to buy windows 8 and be done with it

good luck guys with windows 10
