Hi, my Windows 10 Pro PC started locking up some months ago (everything freezes and I have to hard-reboot it). I upgraded my CPU (Intel G4620 to Intel i7-7700) some time ago, I don't know if it is the reason,but it never happened with my old CPU. I also installed some programs after that, like ThrottleStop etc.
In the Windows Event Viewer I get messages like this:
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
Level: Critical:
Event ID: 41
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
Although I doubt that it is connected to the power-supply having insufficient power, because I NEVER experienced lock ups during high-load, for example when playing games for hours and my GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) being at almost 100% and CPU at 75%. Instead, it usually happens when my PC is idle/under light load. Lock ups also happen very often when viewing youtube videos (in any browser). Very often I leave my PC idling for some minutes, come back and see it being locked up.
My Windows is up-to-date. Mainboard: Gigabyte b250-hd3p-cf
My PC also refused to go into sleep mode after being idle for some time, but I fixed it by disconnecting some USB devices. I don't know if these two issues are connected.
Any ideas how to fix or troubleshoot these lock ups?
