    Computer starts fine, then freezes a few minutes

    Hello,

    The computer in question worked fine yesterday. Now, when it boots up, everything seems fine, but then within about 10 minutes of logging in, it freezes & no longer responds to the mouse or keyboard. The timing is different each time - sometimes it is the moment after login - sometimes it gives you time to get a few programs open etc before it happens. When it freezes, it doesn't just freeze everything instantly. It seems like the mouse buttons stop working, then a few seconds later the mouse itself stops working, then the keyboard stops (to the extent that the caps lock light no longer activates when the key is pressed). If there were things on screen that showed progress bars etc, or any sort of movement, these all stop moving too. I've tried rolling back Windows to yesterday morning (when it was definitely working) & have switched to a different USB mouse & Keyboard, as well as unplugging the USB hub in the monitor. Never had any problems with this machine before. Any ideas where to start looking for problems? I can see nothing in the Windows logs to indicate an obvious error occurring.

    Please help

    I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

    Recommend deleting this thread and this user. Not sure what it is but feels like it can’t be good.

    Completely agree. I haven't followed all 5 of his posts since signing up but I recall another one that had the same link to open up , like it could possibly be connected to this subject as well

    That was the Product Animation Services link btw which I refuse to click on in case anyone else is wondering .
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !
