" turned of automatic windows updates, this stops it from downloading but yet I still have the problem. "
1. Since you have Windows Home installed , you cannot turn off or postpone downloading those updates nor the installation . To do that you need Win. 10 Professional or above.
2. I see a Z Gaming MB and a K Processor which leads me to ask if you are Overclocking .
3. If you are O.C'ing , Go Back To Stock as it causes lots of overheating and crashes . Pleas don't say that this can't be the problem as we see it happen here every day...
4. What Anti virus are you running ? Norton, McAffee , Kaspersky , turn them off / uninstall for testing using their own uninstaller tool.
If these test's fail ,post a Speccy so the Pro's can dig deeper into the issues
Hi all,
I have a custom built PC with Windows 10 Home, my PC will randomly hang/ crash when I'm playing the games and I have to manually turn off the PC as everything just stops working.
I rebuilt the PC 2 times just to check that I dint make some stupid mistake on the build. I have also tried a new power supply, full memory diagnostics, windows reinstalls, chkdsk, sfc /scannow and disabling HD Audio from reinstalling on BIOS, regedit, device installation setting and none of them stopped it from reinstalling so I downloaded gpedit.msc and turned of automatic windows updates, this stops it from downloading but yet I still have the problem.
Any recommendations are welcome!
