Windows 10 Freezes randomly

[Netratt]

Hello guys,

I have researched,used the "fresh start" function in windows 10,even used driver booster to check if i may have faulty drivers and grab different drivers compared to the ones i used from the manufacturer.I checked the ram for errors,heck i can't even remember how many options i tried.

It is an old laptop Asus Rog GL751JY(i7-4710HQ,GTX980m),New(1 month) Samsung SSD 860 evo,1TB hdd and a kingston 120 gb ssd installed in a cradle.The laptop is not thermal throttling not even in full benchmarking( i used thermal grizzly conductonaut on CPU and GPU,yes i used pcb silicone protection).

Windows has 1 and a half months installed fresh on samsung.

Now my real problem is that windows freezes totaly random but doesn't turn off.Sometimes at boot(error 0xc000000f,yes i did research solutions for this,applied and nothing improved),or on the log in screen,sometimes even when just spotify is running,on rare occasions when i play pubg it also freezes,point is: on load or just idling it is totaly random.How can i figure out what my problem is?

Could it be the samsung ssd?that is my last suspicion.If it is how can i prove to warranty it's faulty?

I feel out of options.Any suggestions helps.

 

Thank you for your time.

First thing you can try booting from a different storage drive like a different ssd.

then do the things you usually do with you pc and see if it freezes.

Try to use only samsung for a while without other drives connected.

Tried all of the above,same results.the pc freezes randomly.

I think it might me a hardware problem :/ ..

Somehow after 2 fresh formats on the samsung ssd now the pc stopped freezing but now i have a bigger problem.

I cannot modify any file on the HDD because i have no rights, all files are read only. I used the cmd command to clear the read only attributes ,gave full permissions to my user even in the security advanced tab but still all my files are read only and for example i can't back-up some of them on my cloud "no permission access" and many other problems generated by that.

 Any other tips? how can i fix that? i looked in LTT Forum and found similar threads but with the same solutions that don't work for me ...

Use some tool to take ownership of all your files and folders. Or use system built-in functions. Take ownership and give full access to "everyone".

Could you name a tool?i gave ownership to everyone already and even after that it doesn't work,all files appear read-only.

Do you added "everyone" to all your files and folders with full access? Read only attribute is not important.

 

"take ownership tool freeware" - I typed it in Google and find many tools.
