Hard lock ups on W10 Pro.

[chickadee]

Having some anoying hard lockups.

I have updated my nvidia drivers to the latest version and everything seems to be up to date.

Every so often my whole machine will just freeze completely and no key combinations/mouse will work so i have to do a hard reset.

Event viewer shows no errors at all or even any events at the time of the freeze. This is a clean W10 install and never happened in my last OS.

Turned out to be realtek audio drivers. I uninstalled them and my audio still works perfectly fine + no freezes.

thought I would update this incase it helps anyone searching for a fix.
