[QUOTE="goughy, post: 1035272, member: 111509"] Hey guys, I've had this issue for a while now and have pretty lazy with sorting it out. But it's really bugging me now. My htpc freezes often, sometimes once a week, sometimes a few times within a couple of hours. It seems to be random and I have no idea what could be causing it and how to find that out. It's completely locked and only the reset button or long hold on power button will work. I can't seem to get any logs as no errors seem to be being reported before the freeze, and obviously nothing is being recorded because of the freeze. If I'm watching a movie or something when it happens the sound also just blurts out, the sound that was playing when it froze. But it also happens when not doing anything as such, and also when mp isn't open, although I'm assuming the tv server is still running in the background. I've uninstalled mp for the time being and am going to see if it still happens, granted they can be as much as a week between. I'll go stir crazy without mp running. More annoying is that I was running windows 8 pro, and just updated to 8.1pro. I thought wmc was spose to be included in pro but it seems not only do I have to download it, but pay 10 bucks for it! Whats the go with that? So really, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on what I can do to suss out what is causing this problem? I'm a bit of a gumby and just fluke my way through things, but this has me at a loss. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
