PC locks up

[John S]

My PC is locking up all by itself to the point where I have to do a hard boot for it to work correctly.. What could be causing this and how do i fix it?



TIA

Ok last week it happened a couple of times so I decided to reinstall the OS and s/w I use and it happened again. Any other info needed?

Power supply faulty or RAM failing or hard drive failing. Test or swap with new.

Just installed an SSD so I doubt it is that.

It's probably memory. Download MEMTEST and burn it to a USB or CD to boot from. Test each stick individually. https://www.memtest86.com/

It seems this is happening while viewing youtube videos. Any ideas to fix it?

PC works fine. Just install new hardware. Now it locks up.

Can’t be new hardware.

Also post your hardware specs... let’s start with that. Good to know you did reinstall OS.
