Random freezing

[Penfold7]

Hi its been running all day today, absolutely fine. I have posted up the Temps today. Also some events from the system windows logs, alot seem to be distributed COM warnings and 1 red error.
In the application log, there are alot of red events, some for distributed COM events, but a lot for volume shadow copy service errors.
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x8007045b, A system shutdown is in progress.
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine QueryFullProcessImageNameW. hr = 0x80070006, The handle is invalid.
The time of these errors however do not correspond with the last crash on the 11th, which was about 7PM ish.

Not sure no if the BIOS thing was a glitch, and the HDD was the issue all along. Its been up for approx 7hrs today doing various things with no issues…

You can clear the logs and see if any new ones come up I have gotten those after a fresh install. Then run it for a few days recheck and they are not as many.

Windows usually self corrects its self and puts that in as a bookmark with notes.

You can also clear out the shadow copies and windows will rewrite them again and is constantly updating them.

Yeah, thinking back, the system wasn’t connected to the internet during installation and for a good half hour after install. It’s been running all day with no issues, in a reasonably hot room… My suspicion is it was the hdd and a generally corrupted install of windows. Given the fact it’s been running for a week with no issues after the bios corruption crash, makes me think it’s solved, although when we switched cases and cooler, it ran fine for 2 weeks and then started freezing again Anyhow, I think we should mark as solved, and if starts to recur, I can open a new thread.
Many thanks for the assistance and advice.
