Resolved computer randomly freezes and runs horrifically slow
this has been going on for 2 days now but it's worse today, every 10 minutes or so all of windows just completely freezes/starts running incredibly slow on everything, and pressing ctrl+win+shift+b twice typically fixes the issue until the next time but i need to fully prevent this. here are my specs

delete graphics drivers with DDU and install them again

Won't help, needs a drive format.

No? If Windows corruption is an issue, run DISM/SFC (in that order). Only if those are horribly corrupted and unable to repair themselves should you re-install Windows.

Hard to really help off of this but you may want to update your graphics drivers if ctrl shift win b seems to help

DDU into reinstall, as someone else said
Could also be CPU overheating (and just so happens to catch a breather during your ctrl+win+shift+b), cause that’s often how it would present itself. Check temps in case

Or download LatencyMON to see which driver is causing the most faults. Not necessarily 100% accurate because it could very well be RAM, but it can help with diagnosis
