Windows freeze... again (with video of situation)
Hey guys. I'm here with another windows freeze situation.
Windows freeze - YouTube
Video sum:
@ 0:35, geforce experience unpack stops @ 17%
@ 0:50 you can see that new pages on site are not loading anymore
@ 1:15 new internet page is not opening anymore
@ all that follows, computer no longer responds to mouse and keyboard (just mouse movement is active)
@ 2:01 cat
This started happening about 2 months ago. For some reason it stopped after 3 days. Now it seems to have started again. Crashes happen randomly, mostly when trying to install a software, or playing games.
What I (think I) know:
- It's not a hardware problems. All data checks, chips are not overheating
- Scanned the computer multiple times with multiple software and antiviruses.
- I believe it's a windows update issue since I remember an update happening when this snowballed 2 months ago
- Freezing seems to happen less often after uninstalling geforce experience from the geforce driver package.
- As you'll see in the video, if I attempt to install the latest geforce experience driver, windows crashes
- As in the video, this is how it happens. One page stops working, then another, then all apps. Mouse movement still works though but I can't excess anything by clicks or keyboard
- I tried using the PC without the internet cable plugged for about an hour and now crushes happened
- I already added a page file on my ssd (virtual memory) of 8 gb
- C-state is disabled in BIOS since I understand that this comes in conflict with my ssd drive
- I read somewhere that I should make 2 links, one for Microsoft in my network setting. Something about Broadcom. Unfortunately the explanation was not broad enough and I did not want to risk ruining my network setup and making this situation even more complicated
Any thoughts on all the above?
