Windows 10 Is Crashing My Computer


 There are quite a few people that upgraded their windows 7 or 8.1 computer to windows 10 only to have it crashing with various errors. This happens for a few different reasons. It may be, because the system just won't work with windows 10. Always check at the manufacturers website to find out if there are software drivers for windows 10. The other time this happens is when the previous operating system was corrupted in some way. It is always a good idea to run chkdsk /r from an administer command prompt . This will correct quite a few different problems in the system. If any bad sectors or bad clusters are found the hard drive should be replaced.
  I would try to clone the bad drive to a new one and install the new one in the computer. The other way this happens is if the computer was infected with Viruses, Malware, Spyware and Adware. The trick is to run Free Malwarebytes, Spybot, TDSS Killer, Adware Cleaner and Rogue Cleaner on the hard drive. Also run your current updated antivirus on the computer. Another program that can be run is system file checker from an administrator command prompt, sfc /scannow.
 I would also make sure to back up the system before running the windows 10 upgrade. I would use the back program in windows 7 in the control panel. Make sure you use a external hard drive to back it up to. If it is windows 8.1 you can use the file history to back up data and use the manual image backup to make a complete image of the system. This way if windows 10 won't recover back to the previous operating system you can reinstall windows 7 or 8.1 and then run the recovery program from the back up program.
 Thank You for reading and I hope this helps.
