Windows 10 pro, is randomly Freezing up

Janning · 25 Dec 2016

I am using the latest version of Windows 10, pro 64 bit. Windws starts normally, however, after I am logged in
for a few minutes, checking email, going to a WEB site, Windows "freezes"
The mouse will turn into a small spinning circle, as if it is processing something and
The icons in the left side of the task bar will blink, and the PC is totally locked.
(see wi_1.jpg)
Hitting any of the keys does nothing, ALT/TAB does nothing. If I hit ALT/CTRL/DEL
and from the task manager, end process on Random processes, this resolves the issue,
only for all of the above issues happen again.
I have screen shots and saved even view files at:

Files:
event_view1.evtx (event viewer saved)
event_view2.evtx (event viewer saved)

Can you pinpoint when this behavior started? Was this happening three weeks ago?

Before it started do you remember installing or uninstalling something? I saw your posts from a couple of weeks ago and I think you replaced a single dll in Spybot.

Have you tried running for a while, not necessarily on Internet with AV disabled to see if it may be causing?

Have you run chkdsk?
