Hey guys,

I'm looking for help, as the title says: My PC freezes up in less then 5 minutes once it gets into the windows.
There is no error or blue screen of death, everything just stops, sound freezes also in annoying one tone. If i only !!restart!! it after such freeze, it works perfectly stable until I turn it off completely over night and turn it on again the next morning!.

Any help with what to check is highly appretiated. Specs filled out in my profile

HDD or SSD hard drive? If HDD, your drive may be experiencing a smart power failure. Find out the make of your drive, and you should be able to download a tool to test the drive integrity from the maker's website. Or look for GWscan, which can test a variety of drives. (You'll have to create a bootable CD with the tool on it first though, cos they run from a DOS interface). First run a smart test, then run a quick test. If you get any read element failure, then run the whole scan (may take 1 hour or a little more). But if you are getting a power failure, the drive will drop out and you'll get a "not ready" status on it.

The Windows versions of the WD Diag tools can test for that from within windows, but you have to do it quickly before you get the freeze. Sometimes a drive will be fine as far as the surface, but if you have a power issue, it just stops spinning. WD drives are famous for this, I've recovered maybe 5 of my own drives that did this.
