frozen

Hey there, as the title mentions my computer is randomly freezing. At first my audio/video will freeze or cut out, I'm actually able to use most programs for maybe 10-15 seconds before they start to freeze. I can even minimize programs, right click on the desktop (eventually becomes very laggy...

So I, like many others, have multiple hardwired and wireless devices connected to my home Xfinity system (using their modem/router combo). I don't think the issue is with the router and here's why... I have 2 desktop PC's hardwired to the modem. I also have an IP phone system hardwired. I...

My PC gets frozen randomly in 10-15 minutes while playing games. Initially, I thought it was a GPU issue but after having a connect with GPU vendor, I was suggested to replace my PSU.

Been working on this problem for a few months now. It's not one of those issues that brings everything to a standstill, but it is preventing me from enjoying a few of my favorite games, and it is most definitely irritating. In short: When I move my mouse around, system graphics stutter...

So A little backstory: A while back I was having issues with my laptop keyboard freezing and it would almost seem like it was dosed as when I would plug things into the USB port it wouldn't work and wouldn't even get power. I found that this would happen a lot when I used my Nvidia GPU so I...

This has been happening very occasionally for a while now when I'm just on the internet or playing a low intensity game, but I recently just saw that Destiny 2 is free on Steam, so I picked it up, and now these problems are completely keeping me from playing it. Every time I open it, within like...
