Windows 10 Issues - SOLVED 2016-03-16
In the past two months, I've updated to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Since then, my computer has crashed roughly every week. The best information I can provide relating to these crashes is that it always seems to happen around the time I put my computer to sleep, or taken it out of sleep. Most of the time, I find my computer already on after having crashed and rebooted automatically.
Another issue I would like to mention (but I may need to go to a Minecraft forum for it) is how, from one day to the other, Minecraft's performance has dropped with no obvious explanation. I've been running it over 60 FPS for a while, and after shutting down my computer one evening and turning it back on the next morning, it has been running below 20 FPS. After removing VSync, setting the FPS limit from 120 FPS to Unlimited, doubling up on RAM, decreasing the render distance and setting the program on high priority, it still runs on average between 25 and 30 FPS at best. It's somewhat surprising considering my computer's specs.
I doubt this is related to anything above, but I'll mention this as well just in case. When building my computer, I bought one of the cheaper Wi-Fi adapters for it. It seems to stop working every so often, causing me to have to reset my computer. It is a known issue with those adapters though, and I am planning on getting new one.
My computer is a desktop I've had built for me. Below, I have provided my computer's specs that I've filled out to the best of my ability upon joining the forum. The computer is roughly 2 years old. If any other information is needed, I'll do what I can to provide it.
Computer type: PC/Desktop
System Manufacturer/Model Number: Unknown
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 @ 3.4 GHz
Motherboard: Unknown
Memory: 16 Gb
Graphics Card(s): AMD Radeon HD 7900
