    Recently my PC has been freezing up, requiring a hard reset. No errors, no BSOD, no loss of data. It freezes, I restart it and it's fine. Sometimes I can go all day without this happening, sometimes it's more than twice a day. I've checked my Hard drives and both my SSD and HDD aren't showing any errors as such, and I doubt it's the PSU as it's an almost brand new EVGA Supernova G2 750W.

    Any ideas? I'm just worried that it's going to cause a major problem, but so far i'm not losing any data or anything.

    Ah, it does seem to be either my printer, or Razer surround (which i've just installed, I don't think I ever use it).

    Those are the only entries before I have to restart it.

    not sure it would be printer, but it could be a compatibility issue, check for updates for both of those

    Well, I only had razer synapse/surround for a razer carcharias I used to have, but I no longer have it, so I've uninstalled it.

    I realise that pretty much all Razer products are just expensive trash, I avoid them entirely now.
