Does it freeze when performing a specific task? If you look in the event viewer do you see any error messages that indicate hardware/software failure?

Sounds like an update is taking place, something like an antivirus update that slows the PC and hangs. Same time each day?

You may have a hardware failure such as a CPU Fan not working and the computer is turning off on it's own. &nbsp;Open the computer case if possible and check your fans. &nbsp;Or, just get into the BIOS and watch the temp via the monitor. &nbsp;I have seen this on at least 3 computers. &nbsp;If the fan is not working, don't use the computer until you replace it.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
