Problem:
Windows freezes., from 10 minutes from logging in to a few hours of use.
Mouse able to move but can't click anything.
Details:
Freezing started after I sold my graphics card, went back to Intel's on board graphics, and changed my motherboard and installed the drivers and utilities found on the manufacturer's website.
My attempts at troubleshooting:
Installed the drivers found in the graphics card section here.
-Still Froze-
Disconnected my second monitor.
-Still froze, but it took longer-
Uninstalled most of my recently installed programs and updates, including most of the drivers and utilities I found from the motherboard manufacturer's website.
-Still froze but not after 30 minutes of logging in like before-
Set the Performance options in the Advanced System Settings to Best performance but I enabled transparent glass and smooth edges of screen fonts. (I also reconnected my 2nd monitor.)
-I thought the problem was fixed but it still froze a few hours later.-
Current situation:
Currently freeze free after my last hard reset after my last attempt. I don't know if it will last though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading.
