Ok so, This problem has been happening over and over again resulting in a complete breakdown of the system and failure to start. I end up having to take the system to a chap who sorts it all out for me.
However it never last more than 6 months and the entire saga starts over again.

1) So starts with a freezing system usually about 5 to 10 mins after either being turned on or having been woken up from sleep (only first time for the day). At this point a forced restart will sort it an system seems fine for the rest of the day. This will continue as a daily routine for a week or two.

2) Next stage starts the same with the freezing system however a restart will hang (before the beep) or it will crash to a BSOD before getting going. I can usually get it to start eventually and run sfc/scannow which fixes things (never says it can't) and it will then be fine for the rest of the day.. This will continue as a daily routine for a few days.
FYI if i try and run the sfc/scannow before the freeze and restart it will freeze midway through doing it.

3) Stage three.. same as above only now when I eventually restart the PC after a few trys the scannow function wont function.. at this point I end up having to use my boot USB and restore to an early point where I can get it to scan. Some times this will solve the issue some times not.

4) Stage four.. Where I have had to do a system reset (basically a windows reinstall from the boot USB wiping files) This was yesterday.. I did not add much to the system reboot. Chrome, only.

And where I am now.. I was half expecting the PC to behave today as i had done that yesterday.. not no.. back to stage 2 with bells on.. took me 8 attempts to get the PC to start at all! hanging before the beep or BSOD and not restarting.

So I started wondering if it was my SSD on the way out.. ran Performance manager and Command prompt and they are saying all ok.

I am out of ideas.. I am not even sure this was the right thread for this issue.. LOL

I am hoping that someone might spot what is causing the very annoying (and somewhat expensive) Issue..

Happy to provide more info.

Hi DB,

do you know about Linux?, if you download a version (I suggest Ubuntu) and run it in Live Mode on your computer, you can test the stability of you system!. https://ubuntu.com/

There are more versions at the following link. https://distrowatch.com/

If I were you, I would do a re-install using the latest version of Win 10 and also using following guide but you will have to re-install your apps!.


To install multiple apps. https://ninite.com/

I hope it helps. ;)
