Hey all,
Lately my Windows 8 PC has been mysteriously hanging. I can still click icons and it would show the spinning wheel but programs won't load up (i.e. Chrome, task manager, etc) nor am I able to shut down the PC. I'll click "shut down" the spinning wheel shows up and then nothing. I sorta noticed this after I did a Windows update but I also did a system restore to before the updates but no I'm still experiencing this issue. I don't normally turn off this PC, it runs all day and night and usually acts up after a day or two which then I have to do a hard reset. I have all my power option set so that the PC doesn't sleep after a certain time or the hard drive doesn't turn off after a set time. No other programs were installed after the updates to Window and I've tried using the startup repair in the advanced settings in Windows 8, no problems were detected. I've scanned for malware with Malwarebytes and viruses with Avast and nothing turns up.
Not sure how to intepret the event logs but I have a few screens of it. I noticed the haning problem when I went to use the PC at around 9:30 and going into the event viewer>system I see two errors occurring at around 8:30, not sure if it's related. Thanks for any solution anyone can offer.
