Random lockup

Exactly how does the lockup manifest?.  Does the screen just freeze and the mouse pointer cannot be moved and the numlock light does not change status?  Did these lockups just suddenly start happening?

Any clues in the Windows system event logs (I know You say you have already looked there, but just in case Start-run "%windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc")  You might have to filter information events so that you only see errors and warnings.

I've been having issues also with hangs and bad oddities of audio hardward hickups...
been troubleshooting since win 8.1 dawn...with below specs...might have to update those a bit.
 
Seems Anti virus if installed can cause problems with such things.
 
MS tech tier is saying to me, to uninstall all third party anti virus...as this is one sign of some causes for.
 
Not saying it is yours or anyone else ...having.
But it could be ..something to look into...and get the latest build for that...while testing the uninstalled setup of...
 
You can always reinstall if it is not the case.
 
Also some wired way to get windows 10, if updating drivers need be checked...to make sure it is using the right driver installed...
 
That being said...something of note, MS WIN 10 is pure crap...it only uses your system to gather intel..use for test bata updates...and cause issues...to make money off of updates..and newer more tech support plan a b and c ...paid to get the finger pointing going again....it is not MS..it is your third party gear and add ons.
 
Thanks MS for putting a bunch of games on my machine of third party people....so Tech of MS and MS in truth, can point the finger for doing it....at something else other than themselves...to make tech support necessary to be paid.
 
 
Nice plan.
 
 
Cheers!

A total system freeze is not likely to be written to an event log.  If your system is no longer responding to the mouse or keyboard, such as the caps lock will no longer toggle, reboot is the only option.
 
Unless it's hardware (like a bad RAM stick, or something), the cause is most likely a driver, because a user mode application should not be able to crash Windows.  I would run a memory test first to rule that out.
 
The audio, video, or network drivers are the most likely suspects that should be ruled out.
 
Try removing the Helix and temporarily use the on-board audio device, to eliminate that.
 
Since you are using a laptop, you are probably stuck with the on-board video device.  Try using the WHQL tested video drivers from your laptop OEM, not necessarily the newest ones from the GPU manufacturer, but the most stable.
 
Try disabling the network adapter to eliminate that as a possible cause.
 
All I can suggest is to take one thing at a time and eliminate it, until you isolate the cause.  Good luck!

Well, To my eyes, ...A Major improvement to win 8.1...means what to me?/...win 8.1 was also crap?...I agree ...and before that, win 8, 7, vista...crap also...surely is it getting better if said by whom?...so crap crap crap....want to go back more so....?...xp was ok...7 not bad but surely not perfect....and by removing the ability to do irq settings and or make exclusive setups with in the OS....when things turned off were off...or if turned on were on....Then, and if I may add setting set stayed set to those settings...and updates if needs be updated when the system was made stable with the parts put in, and drivers installed...and all winks and knodds it is working, if so, to its best abilities to do...X....that was ok.
 
This win 8.1 and 10 bash ...is just mistrust put in..users being used, and user paying for the RND of MS...and how to soak more of money out of the people for paid technical support for...and a constant ramming of updates into machines that do not need them....screwing up settings, turn things back to defaults and not resetting as was set.
Forcing all developers to constant recodes and recodings...never stable eh?...well if you were stable, now your not....Says something about that process forced by...MS and its rule over your needs...to put in their wants onto you and your machines, machine meaning PC with PC third party parts supposed to be following a protocol of user code standards..(ISO?..under Agreements signed).....Sales/store..and adverts., and now games put in with spying and lying..Pointing fingers at third party developers to solve, what they keep changing... via MS OS..and spooling or track or trace policies...taking info...to benefit them, not you!
 
That is the deal you pay them...to RND their benefits....and you get the other end of the stick..../...to solve for them..not you?....So if it is getting better, then why is hanging us up with tech support and user forums to solve issues that...to my understanding have already been solved in win xp and 7....to some degree...right?...
 
 
That being said...if a MS tier 2 tech, runs a migration setup of windows 10, from a exisiting system desktop setup, with multiple devices attached....as is mentored by MS teachings to do to those paid for in support, and they do not read into the news of what is causing issues to need technical support, or what was told the other tech whom elevated to tier 2.......Like bad management of disks of either ssd, or HD or Optical workings..or functions for, or trim or defrag set to...proper...or system mamagement oddities of events of error detected in event viewer or logs written too much..causing cpu hickups also memory issues and bad cache sizes being over flowing with intel not sent?...or too much audio and video taken into not being accounted for being done with said systems to overload the intel taking caching and sending program going on behind the vail in background.....Then your going to have issues if done by load of..and reinstall or migration...As read on MS forum .....if you put a anti virus into the soup base mix...you add more services running on the background....if anti virus puts a shell around a codex...it is always in play around that....So, if ms wants to make secret changes to something....the third party anti virus blocks....more hickups!
 
So with all the intel being gathered by MS and third party info getting by.....Why is it hanging now , if this info taken  by them off of us users and payers of the machine and gear,..is suppose to make things work better for us......why the hanging and crashing and need for constant updates?
 
 
I told you, it is not about us...it is about them.
 
 
Good song!
 
Pink Floyd...US and Them....those who help life be life living...are those who put it out for free...to make a better earth be alive and multiplied...You only need...A helper of it...doing it every day!....Care!...Sow seeds, be Good, no sin...holy ground is made....And if he comes...would he not lead the truth to know....it is the only way to everlasting life.

Just saying...I believe in good people doing Good for the lords works needs be done...by hand of man or woman..and helping us and them others not human live in peace shared and kept good or made very good by intent over put the best for the whole...Not the self....in this...we remove greed.
 

Sir Les
That is why I like cake walk...this forum is full of that same spirit...Many will come...many have seen it...we try to help...but, when all that help is made futile...to gain wealth...then what is learnt here?...The spirit lives in you, not the machine.......Don't let the bastards grind you down....Stay true to the spirit...But try to use it where it will do more good than...one thing...And it is dependant on many Kinds of living thing...the machine is not living...why keep the head in something liken that?...Nor will it ever live...But, as I am aware, they want it to hold something, and rule over life with it...connected to....As, My Lord said, Your making his house a market Place of ...Greed...and he is not about this sort....So, did he kick it?....Yes, Did he address them rightly with his foot?...and anger?...Yes...Did he come to those whom were bedazaled by the hex.....Yes, Did he take some aways from asking for.....Yes, and did he save them all that followed him....Yes,....Where did he lead them?....To the Garden.....Now the master lead his people to the Garden of Olives......And he said stay awake, while I prepare the next day....and who fell asleep?.....all that went with him into the Garden......Right?...wake up people.....EDEN needs you now....more than you know....I know...it needs helpers...For it is written as our attributes....The Good Lord made the Garden, and then made us Humans to tend and keep it....put back what was taken....(Eve and Adam #2 know)..Put back rightly so, no sin...undoes what was done....Yeh?..or Nah?....error was made...error is corrected by.....Yes....This is good learning!...But it is appiled to the wrong things here on machine.
 
That is why it does not gain any fruits ...if so it does, they are not held in good for long....And if mistrust is in it...to make it not work , if made to work....you head is stuck inside it too long....are yee not mislead from what is necessary to be done?....Ah...Misleading, hidding a bad hex..or hexi....eh?...And in this, you cannot gain control...if given that mistrust grace over you.
 
If the Techs at MS cannot solve the problems I got....and they tell me that they are working hard on the next version coming to be a release date in March or April.....
 
Then this is futile trying to solve what even they cannot solve now!
 
 
Be mindful...I asked the right questions, ...I forced my will upon em...I know what is part to blame...and I kicked it in their face....so they tried to wipe it out....and it would not wipe out.
Error....Ho...And then I asked why are you running a migration to 1607, instead of fixing the problems now manifesting on these two machine...But only doing the first one...and on the first one being trying to fix for many weeks now with others and MS....it is worse now.
 
I had to wipe it...moved to the new build 1607....No sound card, no working Motu...no thunderbolt...and drives are messed up with not right settings...HD is not..ssd...and so, the story only repeats...Technician needs, because we have not the kernel code,..(hidden) ..or Kept secret....And codes made for or on...are always iin need of recode, or add on, or patch....then, it is never truly working as sold should be first....it is sold broken, and then they try to fix it....
 
Hence ..pig in a poe.
 
Any one remember Huckleberry Finn?
 
Be mindful..

Is it just me, or does everyone hear Shrek's voice when reading these posts? ;)
