Did it find any bad sectors or anything? Does it happen when you run a particular application or anything like that?i tried the cmd thing and nothing different happened, i tried a bunch of other fixes with no avail, I'll see if running a defrag and optimize does something
Sorry lol.
Check task manager > processes, then sort by "memory usage" and screenshot/ post the results please
OP said when the system locks up and can't run anything - but memory usage wouldn't be as helpful as running Resource Monitor -> Disk usage and sorting by Total that way.
