Hey everyone, how are you all? My friend has been using his PC since mid-2013 and he says it keeps freezing. He’s running Windows 8 and it freezes only every four hours, exactly at the hour. I told him to reinstall Windows, but if anyone has any tips or suggestions, please share them!

Open the control panel, go to uninstall programs, and review the installed items. There might be an unexpected or problematic software causing the issue, especially if it freezes in a predictable way. It could also be a Windows error—consider updating the software. I hope this helps!
