Problem description: One day, I unplugged my computer while it was running. Very bad, I know. Since then, I've had various system instabilities: computer freezing up every now and then, especially if it was on for a long period of time. If I left my computer on overnight, I would always come back to a screen that appears when the computer boots with no hard drive attached to it at all. I didn't fix it, because as long as I rebooted my computer before doing stuff, it was okay. However, I updated my computer to the latest Windows 10 update, and I can't go more than fifteen minutes without it completely freezing: the mouse moves, but everything else is totally stopped. Have to hard-reboot every time it happens. Attempted fixes:
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.15063 System specs: i7-6700K (stock clock, used to be overclocked) MSI Z170A SLI PLUS (MS-7998) G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) GeForce GTX 1070 Location: USA I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

If it shows caution/bad hard drive is on the way out, but if it reports Good, that should be fine. I did that, disk health was at 100% (I put this in the OP). The anime was kind of endearing

Dr Cox MD posted:Hit Ctrl+Shift+Escape to bring up the Task Manager. You can sort processes by CPU/RAM/HD use, or pop over to the Performance tab for charts of resource consumption. There's also a link to the Resource Monitor at the bottom of the Task Manager if you want a more technical view. At the time of taking this grandpa screenshot, I could not longer open programs or even the start menu. Basically there's nothing to see though, the programs themselves kept on running https://i.imgur.com/XSiukdZ.jpg Keep in mind that these issues persisted through a reformat/reinstall
