This has happened randomly a couple of times over the last few months but this weekend it has happened more often and once on just turning it on.
Nothing works (ctr,Alt delete) and the only thing to do is switch it off at the tower. If I wait a couple of minutes it switches back on fine and may do it again in an hour or two minutes.
One thing which happens consistently is when it freezes there is a low sounding dong dong, which is the sound I hear if I plug something into a USB port and the PC recognises it.
This sound happens twice each time.
Any ideas please.
I still have a broken S3 screen (thanks to Mark for advice) but it's been a disastrous two weeks here and this is the last straw at the moment.
Briefly we paid two local handymen to remove some 6' high conifer bushes and roots and lay two 8'x10' bases for a new bigger greenhouse and shed. They removed the conifers and also took away the two small sheds but it was obvious the bases were not level to the naked eye.
We paid them for what they had done and found two more, who re-laid the bases and made a fine job and offered to erect the greenhouse and shed.
Friday afternoon they gave up on both. They realised on finishing the glazing that it wasn't square and the shed windows proved 'too much of a problem'.
They didn't RTFM at all, apparently one can't read anyway, so yesterday saw Ian & I take all the glass out, dismantle the frame, unscrew the base and start again. Today we hope to get it glazed.
The annoying thing is we could have done this work ourselves but it seemed sensible to pay someone else to do it while Ian was at work as our weekends are usually from around 8pm on a Friday night to a 1.30am Monday alarm call, and that's after a week of not being at home in daylight at all.
All my work stuff is synched with BT Cloud as a precaution.
