The topic title is as confusing to me as it is to you...
Here goes;
My computer has been plagued by this for quite some time, simultaneously with the problem that it would reboot while idle for prolonged times, after wich it would boot with "improper boot media".
Blaming my harddrive (It's a 2-year old SSD) I purchased a new dive a few days ago.
Reinstalled things as it was looking good, but today the problem resurfaced.
I would just use the computer as usual, listening to music, chatting on Skype, playing a game - basic stuff.
But then, out of nowhere, my current active application starts to hang. Not a proper crash, just as if something was loading.
Noticable in skype as the audio breaks off.
After some time (5-10 seconds?) all my other applications start to hang as well. My music player stops playing, etcetera.
Still being able to control the mous, I can send every application one command (Thinking of Chrome here, I can open a new tab, but it'll hang) before it hangs as well.
All this time I can move my cursor around.
After a good amount of time (up to three minutes) everything unfreezes and continues working as normal.
Event viewer only reports things after the incident, like "Windows error report could not be started) or similar.
The only thing that looks out of the ordinairy to me is a SYSTEM logon before it happens.
The symptoms summed up;
-Hangs randomly
-Event viewer empty apart from a logon notification
-Cursor controllable
-Time of hang random between 1-3 minutes
-Fresh windows install, but with basic installs that have worked in the past
-Can't force the error
It may or not be connected with the idle problem, that hasn't happened yet (knock on wood)
I don't feel like my specs are important, it's all fairly recent hardware, and at the time I bought all top-of-the-line hardware.
No logs or dumps available, only this little info.
I know it's not much to go on, but I was hoping computer wizards may be able to at least point me in the direction where to look
Any and all help is appreciated!
