Hi everyone,

For the longest time since I've been using windows 10, my PC would randomly lockup, and freeze on me

My mouse cursor would still be able to move but once I click on something, that's when the freezing would happen.

During these freezes, I would try to restart with the restart button but then it takes me to a 'select boot os' black screen after the bios, the only real remedy is that I hold the power button and do a hard shut down.

I've reinstalled a number of times and it still happens to me, does anyone know what I can do?

If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it!

my xbox has been doing freezes during games.  when it freezes its more like a looped .75second stutter but my x symbol button will still operate the dashboard menu and the stutter resolves self after 5 to 10 seconds.  so i believe this is a known kernal level buffer handling problem with not having a designated kernal thread to buffer handling the way usb controller handles 10 usb devices at once.

ok so I think I figured out what was the problem...

I was going through hardware and I uninstalled killer network and I seem to be doing ok now... is there a reason why this is so?
