I have had a very stable Win 10 since it came out on this laptop. The updates all seem OK, but lately, I am getting random freeze-ups/stalling.

I have done EVERYTHING I have thought of - disconnected unused peripherals, cleared temp files, cleared disk space, checked surface of hard disk, checked RAM etc etc. Just before the freeze, the fans are working overtime, so something is being memory/CPU intensive - checking running processes though reveals nothing unusual. I can go days and it won't so it, then it'll do it twice in one night etc. Just random.

I disassembled the computer and cleared all the ventilation and fan. No issues. (this computer never gets hot anyway).

The only thing that has recently been installed in MaxIM 6 (fully up to date), but even that has no background processes I can discover. Win 10 has all the current BS on it. Virus scanning = nothing (never had a single issue on this system).

Any other ideas how to solve this one?
