![]() The laptop does not freeze when booted from another hard disk that I have that has Windows 7, 64 bit, on it.īoth disks I have which I can boot this machine from have 64 bit Windows versions on them, either win7 or win10. The case where the laptop freezes and dies is when it's booted up into Windows 10 version 1703, build 15063.540, 64 bit. What I have figured out is that the freeze is either specific to Windows 10 itself or its drivers, as it does not occur on windows 7 on the same hardware, which tends to indicate it's NOT a hardware problem with my laptop: This hang does not reproduce when I moved back to Windows 7, only on Windows 10. ![]() Having that process terminate, and its windows disappear, was the most common ways to hang my system. What makes me think it's NOT a disk problem is that 90% of the crashes occurred while running a developer tool that I use (Embarcadero Delphi), and occurs when resetting the debugger, which terminates its child process (a win32 gdi app). This made me wonder if it's a disk problem. After I power back on, there is nothing in the Event Viewer that helps me determine what is going on, but I do notice that there are no entries in the System log for the last 10 or 15 minutes before the crash. The only thing I can do when it freezes is hold the power button for about 10 seconds, which does a hard power off. This is not a blue screen of death (BSOD). Like some other questions on this site, this is about Windows 10 freezing up, by freezing up, I mean that the Control Alt Delete key will not bring up the screen that lets me open the task manager.
