Hi. I've been having problems with lock ups on my computer and they occur anywhere from the load up screen, to the desktop within 5-10 mins. The memory is fine because I cleaned out the whole computer so there are no programs. I have no clue what the problem could be. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks for your time.

Could be anything, try running the computer in safe mode see if it still locks up, and if you can run a few anti virus programs like avast and malwarebytes, whats the os, and check your cpu fan isnt clogged up with crap, might even be worth reseating the heatsink with fresh thermal paste just incase its overheating.

1 word. trojan

lol

Thanks for the help popeye. I'll give that a try
