It doesn't matter what I doesn't matter if I am using the Web browser or doing something else my Desktop just freeze and becomes completely unresponsive. I have all the Updates from Microsoft and Dell.
What on earth can it be??? Windows is becoming insensibly frustrating!
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
This is what solved the freezing problem for me.
In the NVIDIA control panel, under Manage 3D settings, i set the power management to "prefer maximum performance".
Never had any freezing problem after that only one change.
I seen this recommendation on another forum.
I hope it can help you all !
Please tell me if you tried the settings like i specified just before?
Thanks
In my case, after many rounds of trying various fixes, Dell had me totally re-install Windows from a flash drive they sent me. Not an ideal way to go, but I haven’t had any problems since.
Thank you so much! Mine was set to NORMAL so I changed it to MAX perf. I'll let you all know how it works out.

I no sooner made the changes when my system hung up again, first time in over a month. So I guess this didn't fix it. Am debating whether to set it back to normal or leave it on MAX PERFORMANCE.
