If you added memory, installedĪ newer processor, installed additional drives, or added external devices, such devices can require more energy than the current power supply can provide consistently. Power supply: Make sure that the power supply has enough wattage to appropriately handle the installed devices.Verify that each memoryĬhip is the same speed and that it is configured correctly in the system. Check the memory: Verify the memory by using a memory checker (We can use Memory diagnostic tool in Windows).Overclocking: Disable overclocking to see whether the issue occurs when the system is run at the correct speed.To help isolate the problem, check the following items: Scenario usually indicates a problem with the hardware.

To either restart via the menu or hold the power button down depending on how frozen it is. However, I cannot unlock the computer when this happens and have

If I plug in another keyboard, I hear the sound of the computer registering it. With available wi-fi networks, compatibility mode menu, power options, etc. In some, but not all, instances, I am still able to view and interact Use my mouse when the computer wakes up, but I cannot enter my credentials to unlock the computer, the box remains grayed out if I click there.
