I first noticed this issue when I was watching a video and my mouse and keyboard had been idle for about 5 minutes. The sound continued to play but the video stopped until I moused over the video player. The video then played in super speed for about a second to catch up to where it should be. I've noticed that this issue happens even when I am not watching something. If my mouse and keyboard are idle for a few minutes while playing a game, same problem. Lately, when I go to move my mouse to get the graphics to catch up, sometimes my computer will seize up completely and just black screen and restart. I don't know why this is happening. At first I thought it could be my graphics driver so I waited for the newest Nvidia driver to come out and downloaded it. Still the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 10 Pro 64bit

Thanks for the update.

You have adequate free space on the C drive.

Please start Revo.   When it opens, it should display your installed programs, please post a screenshot.

 

If you have Malwarebytes installed, please run, or Download and run, > http://www.majorgeek...ti_malware.html

 

See if Reliability Monitor can pinpoint the freezing issue, > http://www.pcworld.c...ne-your-pc.html
