Strange one this, it happens almost every day.
I'd have Chrome open browsing the forums, or Facebook etc, nothing else open, no other programs running.
The webpage I'm on will freeze, like the internet has disconnected. I open a new tab to make sure, nothing loads. I than minimise the window, and I can no longer restore it. I can not select anything on the desktop, or open anything on the taskbar. Alt-Ctrl-Del doesn't work, and I'm pretty sure Rainmeter on the desktop freezes. I retain mouse movement though.
The only way out is to force power off with the power switch (no reset button), and reboot. It reboots fine. I check the 'Windows' section of Event Viewer, but it doesn't show any errors (apart from the an unclean shutdown).
How can I diagnose this? I can't find any virus, adware or malware on the system.
I can play a taxing game like Tomb Raider for hours without fault
