Problem description: I'm having frequent lockups in windows 10 and I cannot determine that it's connected to any one particular task or event.

It seems to start with the file explorer freezing up (but other applications will continue to run for a bit longer before they will not respond any longer). Ctr-alt-delete does not work and I cannot bring up the task manager.

Attempted fixes: tried windows defender full scan and MRT full scan (froze up), ran disk error check on each drive (none found), checked event logs and didn't see anything other than these events:

quote:

The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error:
Unspecified error

quote:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919}
and APPID
{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Recent changes: Installed H&R Block software, updated SANZBD, updated Sonarr.

Run the portable zip edition of CDI to check HD health:

What's kind of PSU do you have and how old is it?

EVGA supernova GS 550W modular power supply

CDI returns a 99% health on my SSD and "good" on my HGST.

I'll try running memtest for 12-16 hours

If Memtest passes with no errors then I'd make sure you're on the latest BIOS:

Memtest86 passed 6 passes, I updated the BIOS and still getting these crashes...maybe its my ssd? even though it passes tests ok?

probably should try reinstalling windows before i throw any more money at it.

I would bet HDD before SSD. You could try temporarily unplugging the HDD and see if these issues continue.

Another option is temporarily using onboard video.
