I was wondering if it was Win10...and note I had it from 3/15/17 to 5/11/17 with no issues...and it didn't lockup again until 6/4/17 and it's been occurring with more frequency...
But I haven't been prompted for the Creators Update which I heard was very bad...unless of course it fixed my problem for me...this is so random and unpredictable, it's very frustrating! And note in my case it's definitely a hard, complete lockup and holding the power button until it reboots is the only way to recover... -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2017 11:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Help! Bino MSI Win10 Pro laptop random lockup issues I have had similar experiences with my Lenovo quadcore laptop. Sometimes it goes to sleep even though I have set it up not to go to sleep when plugged in. I have to hold the power button to wake bring it back to usability . I think you have a Win 10 issue.... I have a lot of issues with Win 10 that I am waiting for fixes to show up..... or not.
