Take this to where your Wifes computer is and test.

?? Maybe time to look at/consider this is the 2nd one acting up where you sit and work on them.

That's a good clue right there. What is different between your PC, and your wife's PC?

Same video card(s)?

Keyboard and mouse, or really their drivers?

PSU, drive models, OS version, upgrade or clean installations, drivers and software, all kinds of things to check.

The freezing seems completely random, you cannot connect it with anything you are doing whatsoever?

she has all the test parts and hand me downs that i use to have
fx4350(mine fx8350),
Asrock Fatality 990fx killer (same as me),
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB DDR3-1866(same as me)
Sapphire Radeon R9 280x OC Edition (mines Sapphire Radeon RX480 8gb Reference)
550w (850w)
she has 1 500gb hdd (1 ssd and 1 hdd)
she has wireless mouse and keyboard no software (i have a wired gaming mouse and keyboard with no software)
hers isent a blueray drive like mine is
she had a updated untill i did a clean install recently (i have reinstalled windows 10 several time trying to figure out what the problem is with no luck thru out the time i had windows 10)
her motherboard drivers are exactly the same as mine since we have the same motherboards

tho i found someone testing somthing with the turn off hard disk setting heres what they said

All right, I figured it out.

It was an issue in Power Settings after all, specifically the 'turn off Hard Disk' setting.

It was set to 'Never' by default in all my power settings profiles. However, even though it said it was set to never trigger, it was actually set to trigger at a low value. Something like five minutes or so.

I decided to turn each individual one of my power settings timers on and see if any of them locked up the computer after the correct amount of time had passed because it was bugging me that it seemed to happen at around the same time interval regardless of how many resources the PC was using and only if I left it untouched during that time. Even the slightest twitch of the mouse on screen would prevent it, which seems to indicate it was some sort of sleep timer issue.

Sure enough 'turn off Hard Disk' locked everything up when it triggered after I set it to ten minutes at exactly ten minutes, requiring a hard reset of my system. This worked three times in a row.

After that, I cranked it up to 100 minutes, and sure enough that seemed to clear it up while I was using the PC, but when I left it on and went off to do something else for a couple of hours, I came back and it was locked up hard.

Once I set it back to 'never' again, the problem vanished and hasn't happened since. I left my PC on overnight [I don't normally do this] just to test and everything was working fine in the morning when I went back to it. No freeze, and the issue seems to have cleared up completely, at least so far.

Apparently the update screwed up the default 'never' value of this setting and set it to a low variable without changing it from 'never' in selection box somehow. It was something like five minutes or so despite reading as 'never'. Changing it to something else, and then putting it back to 'never' again got rid of the freezing.

However, it's worth noting that this setting shouldn't lock up my computer even if it is set to trigger. There's still a problem in there somewhere because doing something should wake up the disk that gets shut down, and instead it's just hard freezing the PC. If I set it back to a time interval, it still freezes, meaning I can't use this power saving feature even if I wanted to.

I'm booting from a SSD and not a HDD. That may have something to do with it, and this is just a workaround for a broken setting, not a real fix.

If you're having this issue, try going into your Power Settings, select the one you're using, and go into the advanced settings and find the 'turn off Hard Disk after' setting. Even if it's set to 'Never' already, change it to something else see if it still freezes after the time has passed, restart, and then set it back to 'never' again and give your PC another restart.

After I did this it hasn't locked up again unless I set it back to trigger and wait the set amount of time. Then I have to reset my PC to unfreeze it again because it still doesn't 'wake up' like it should when triggered. This feature is broken on my system and has been for the last update or so, no idea why.

I'd recommend doing this to all the Power Settings profiles you have just to be sure if you're having this freeze issue.

so if this is true i set the turn off hard disk to 100000min so by the time the counter its that i would have needed to reset the computer or turn it off for a update or a hardware upgrade lol

but its only a test so i have my fingers crossed


update: it froze up again there is a major bug in windows
