The computer shuts down unexpectedly.
The computer shuts down unexpectedly.
Issue: System occasionally stops unexpectedly and freezes when starting programs. 1. System halts, sometimes I can move the mouse, other times I can't. No interaction with apps works. 2. I hear the hard drive and fans increasing speed. 3. Then the hard drive stops abruptly, fans slow down, and everything resumes normally. This happens for roughly 30 seconds to a minute. It's been happening for about six months now. I've kept Task Manager open to check for overloads, but nothing unusual appears.
