    PC Constantly Freezing, have to hold power button to force power off


    Hello,My computer has had this issue for the longest time, but is becoming more and more frequent. Whenever I load into a game call of duty, Assassins Creed, etc. after 5-10 minutes of playing, my entire pc becomes completely frozen and I have to hold the power button for it to turn off. ctrl + alt + del does nothing its completely frozen. I have the latest nvidia drivers, I have tried uninstalling recent nvidia drivers with DDU and going back a few nvidia updates, but it still continuously happens. In the event viewer, every single time its Kernal 41 power which doesn't help me at all. If I

    My PC lags if I don't force shutdown by holding the power button

    My version number is 19042.867

    This is what happens:
    If I normally shut down the PC through the Windows panel, when I turn it on again it lags.
    By lagging, I mean that every second, it freezes for a few frames. But not only the screen, audio as well.
    The only way for that not to happen is if I hold down the power button on my desktop until it forces shut-down.
    I'm pretty newbie at this, so if you need any logs or something like that, just let me know how to get them.

    PC doesn't power down after holding power button for 4 seconds

    The power button on a PC is temporary push switch. It makes contact as long as you hold the button down. Quick press and release triggers a smart relay on the MB to turn on or off, depending on default or OS state, such as cold on, sleep on, turn off, sleep off, etc. Holding the button down for a long time is a default hardware power kill switch. If it's not working, suspect the MB. Reset the BIOS is a good suggestion, but prolly won't work.

    Holding the power button is not the proper way to power down. It's a hard power off on some but not all PCs (just like pulling the power cord)
    Pushing it one time should power it down. Just as the start/shut down does from the desktop (does it power off from the desktop?)

    List the complete specs. If its the hard drive you can check the smart data
    Sometime a PC will hang on shutdown from programs that lock up
