Win10 pro is installed and i had no issues for the first month. Then i had many freezes. I can see the picture, the sound of in-game-music is normal, but i can't use the mouse or the keyboard. This freezes happens not every day. There are weeks without them and then several in one hour. Somebody an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
