What did you do.....

Just tried a few things, doubt its fixed, cos a few of them didnt even "work", but still no freezes since the thread was made.

Goodness that's old, pm me and I'll send you a copy of Office for Business 2011. I don't use it anymore, I have a 365 account. Licenced

Just realized there's a new 2016 version. Looks like I'll be buying that today; hope it sorts my troubles.

It may be a hardware problem then if you have tried all the software fixes a computer shop can find that for £25 check!

To be honest my money is on the PSU, I suspect its failing now and again, its not a big thing at the moment, when/if it starts happening more often I might start to worry, just wanted to pick a few brains hence the thread.

My son is a network computer engineer as long as it does not blue screen it may it could be anything like a memory chip or a PSU which you may have trouble switching it on and off - the hours he works is rediculous comes in at 7pm the works remotely some nights till 1 pm just for a salary - overtime paid at single time only at weekends, pm me if you need any advice from him but he is so busy I asked him when you posted, and stated either software or hardware sometimes hardware is worth fixing

See title, keeps freezing intermittently, sometimes it freezes on start up, works fine after a restart and doesnt even happen everyday, but its cracking me up now.

Picture wont upload for some strange reason, but maybe somebody can make sense of that crap, I dont have the exact time it froze, I was upstairs having a shave.

Yes, ive tried sawdust.

Happened to me with a new pc lad, seemed to be a Win 10 driver/disc writing issue.
The disc usage was always at 100% despite minimal usage and overloading the pc so got rid of a couple of non essential processes I.e superfetch which were overloading the disc, this has seemingly fixed the problem.
All my other attempts I.e factory restore, driver reset and updates failed.

I get occasional crashes with Excel, but nothing as regular as you. I use Excel daily

Have you verified the disk to see if there's any bad sectors?
