Windows 10 freezing

Go to solution Solved by Heizu,

Fixed it by defragmenting disk

Hey Guys,

So my computers been running fine for awhile with dual boot (Win 10 and ubuntu).

However seeing how i never used ubuntu I decided to delete it.

I checked for guides on how to delete it but it none of the seemed to apply to my system. 

Anyways I ended up deleting the partition which contained ubuntu located on my computer hdd

When i did this I also deleted my healthy partition on my hard drive in order to merge the storage.

I didnt think it was super critical considering my windows os is located on my ssd

and then selected windows boot manager to log back into windows.

So afterwards it was working perfectly fine I ran it all yesterday with no freezes.

Now tho since my start up this morning it freezes in under 45 minutes almost everytime.

it doesnt crash tho, everything will just stop completely and then if i was playing audio 

my speakers will play an annoying buzzing sound.

So im pretty sure i corrupted or deleted a critical file. 

Ive run malware and ccleaner to try to fix and nothing.

If you guys can point me in the right direction to possibly fix this besides a complete

os reinstall I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Specs:

CPU:i5 3470

GPU: GTX 1070

Motherboard: Zotac H67 itx WiFi

Storage:240GB Intel 530 SSD & WD 1 TB Blue

Ram usage? I know there was a memory leak issue with certain installs of Windows 10. Maybe thats doing it?
