Fixed. Turns out it was a bad file in my Steam Folder causing defrag to freeze my PC. It was in a game called Wreckfest, which is a driving sim game by Bugbear. I have most of my Steam Folder in...
Cool. I'll probably check both out and see which I like more. I can handle IObit and I'm familiar enough with their stuff that I know how to navigate around their bloatware. I'm also savvy enough to...
I see. Well, it says it's currently running.
That's also part of my problem. I can't do that and run off to do something else because the PC freezes if I try after a few minutes if I leave it...
Recommendations on a decent defrag program?
Also, is this the same thing as what runs when my system is idle?
As I said, this is consistent and doesn't follow a schedule. It just hits me when I...
That doesn't seem to be happening on my system. As I said, this is only an issue when the system is idle. I've exhausted pretty much every other option.
Something is failing and locking up when it...
Specs: Windows 10 x64, Radeon HD 7970 Ghz ed 6GB x2 in Xfire [normally only one card is active], i7 3770k, Samsung 500 GB SSD, 16 GB Corsair RAM, Several 1+ TB HDD. I have a SSD with the OS on it,...
Edit: Not it. Got another hard inactivity freeze again after taking my dog out, followed by another shortly after.
Was it only the screensaver and everything else was fine?
My rig is a gaming PC and I don't have issues running extremely heavy GPU load games without crashing or freezing, and I run OpenGl...
It is still freezing just like before BTW, even after running the scans and and double checking all the power settings and whatnot.
Doesn't work. Well, the program works, but it's not detecting anything out of the ordinary apparently. It's not really 'crashing', or rather the PC doesn't think that it is, it's a hard freeze and...
Yeah. Disabled that a while ago. Just double checked to be sure it's still off and it is. I have to check up on Windows 10 frequently, every week or two I take a few moments to do so, as it has a...
I've run Memtest a couple of times before and it came up good.
Just now ran mdsched.exe just for the hell of it and everything is good. No memory errors detected.
Also have my page files set up...
I've done this before, but I'll give it another go just for the hell of it. Can't hurt.
I've also run several Chkdsk /r /v scans.
EDIT:
Done, no errors. Ran a DSIM scan anyway just because I...
I've already done both this and a complete uninstall and reinstall of Windows 10. I did it a few times actually and I've gone through pretty much every reinstall option available for Windows. Neither...
Yeah. I have the latest Bios for my Mobo already. Didn't fix the issue. I updated them about a month and a half ago due in an attempt to fix this problem.
I've also tweaked the settings in them...
Edit: Fixed. Turns out it was a bad/corrupted file in one of my games that was freezing the defrag process. It was slipping past the scans and the game in question was running perfectly fine. There's...
EDIT: Figured it out, I need to go into the properties menu to set this up now. That kind of sucks as I'd rather just have a context menu drop down from right click, but it'll do for now. Gonna...
This is an odd problem. This has been happening for a few days now and I'm at a bit of a loss about what the problem is exactly. It seems to have started after a recent Windows update, but I'm not...
