I have an MSI Gaming Laptop and it will randomly freeze and then reboot. Once it reboots, it will hang after POST. I will press the power button and after a while it will boot straight to the desktop, but then it will freeze, but not reboot. I press the power button again and it will reboot to the Windows 10 login prompt.
This can happen repeatedly in a day or I can go days or even weeks without it happening. Could this be a hardware issue? Perhaps bad RAM?
Letβs get some information from the machine please. What is the Exact model of the laptop?
Please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop.
Run the program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator.
When the program opens check mark [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Select All Then hit [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]GO
Please post the log in your next reply. Attach or copy and paste, whatever is easier for you.

Have you checked temps, reseated the ram modules?
Have you ever cleaned the machine of dust. Cleaned the heat sink on the laptop?
Does the machine perform ok in safe mode?[/COLOR][/COLOR]
Also, what is this? Were you aware of Chinese sofware installed?

Programs like Driver boosters and system optimization software cause issues, they sell people who are unaware a false idea. There is no need to update any driver unless there is an issue, and unless you are just disabling startups and a few services and cleaning temp files there is not a need for any thing else, but these optimization tools take it a step further and mess with things that really should not be touched. There are some tools that are ok, but I have been helping in forums for over 10 years and I have seen Iobit trash many systems.
So for a possible remedyβ¦
First start out by uninstalling the three software listed in red above, with Geek Uninstaller. Then you will want to create a new Admin user on your system. Now log off of your account and into the new one. Download Account Profile fixer, then run it as admin and select and repair your main account.
OK, if you have not already go ahead and remove those programs and repair your main account as instructed, then test for a little while and let us know how it goes.
From Speccy, C:\ drive is at 20% free, which in itself is OK, but during gaming, or heavy loads, this could get gobbled up with temp files or caching.
Reclaiming some drive space may help.
Use WizTree.
Drive D:\ shows temperature exceed count SMART warnings, so itβs gotten hot inside the chassis a few times. Be sure to have good airflow when in use. For example, donβt use on the bed sheets or on your lap.
The memory sticks are from different manufactures. Running the laptop on only one stick at a time for a few days may pinpoint if they are to blame.
If the above doesnβt help, or suggestions from others, I know I say this a lot, but I would βnuke it from orbit, itβs the only way to be sureβ - to quote a classic.
Who knows what IOBit has done this time, but even if nothing, starting from a known, clean state is a great launching pad when troubleshooting.
