A weird Windows 10 issue?

[TheIronMinerLv]

Hello!

 

For past few weeks my Windows 10 experience is ruined. After a random amount of time every program stops responding, even if I open start menu, it freezes, closes and I can't open it again (for example, I open already opened Skype, click on something and it stops responding - same with all programs, they work until I click on something). This is really frustrating, because I need to restart my computer otherwise nothing will change/happen. I tried almost every "solution" to my google's research "Windows 10 freezes", "Windows 10 programs stops responding", but nothing didn't help.

 

Sometimes the "usable" time was a few hours (before it "crashes" again), sometimes it was just a few minutes. First I thought that maybe my SSD can't handle what I'm doing, but once I was rendering a video for at least hour, nothing happened, but few days ago I was livestreaming and my computer "crashed/freezed" after ~1 hour, when I restarted and continued to stream, it crashed after 10 minutes and it crashed at least 4 times in a row with 10 minute interval (it was so frustrating to stream, my viewers didn't like that I had to restart the stream several times, but I wasn't able to do anything to fix it...).

 

I have newest updated Windows 10 Pro, if I'm not going to be able to fix this somehow, then I'll probably reinstall my windows or maybe even downgrade. I was using Windows 10 for more than a year, maybe even 2 years.

Few months ago I bought an SSD and installed windows on it - maybe my SSD is suffering? Once I left my computer at this "freezing" state, even my mouse freezed. After some time it restarted and there was an error "No boot device found" or something like that. This really makes me feel, that something isn't right with my "brand new" SSD.

 

My PC:

MB - MSI Z97 GAMING 3

CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K
RAM - 2x Kingston Fury DDR3 8GB (kopā 16GB)
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 960 (2GB version)
HDD - 500GB NCQ Seogate 7200rpm
SSD - KINGSTON SSD HYPERX FURY 240GB
 

 

Please help, I'll appreciate any help from you guys!

Reinstalling windows is the best option or you could also try recovery.

The last bit makes it sound like you have a dud storage device. Or a bad cable.

Referencing what M.Yurizaki said. I'd replace the SSD SATA cable and see if this make any difference. I've had computer malfunction in the way you describe from a faulty SATA cable. The other thought is bad SSD or quite possibly bad RAM. If the RAM is malfunctioning things may stop responding.
