    My Aspire S7 stops responding for a few seconds once in a while, randomly

    Aspire S7 i53317 256G (2*128)

    when in use, the system stop responding once in a while for a few seconds, sometimes more than 10 seconds, mouse click and keyboard operation does nothing while it happens, after the pause passed, the system will work fine for a random period of time and then reappears.

    i can't recreate the problem by a fixed use pattern. it seems random and happens to different software applications.

    i have trid to reinstall the system fresh by Settings -> change PC setting -> General -> remove everything and reinstall windows. and it doesn't fix it.

    any help or any suggestion of where the problem may be? i need more information before sending it to ACER, i dont want to send it back for a few days and then being told "we found no problem..."

    Thanks for the help...

    Kai

    This happened to me as well, I resolved it by changing minimum and maximum power states of the processor, hope it works for you.
    I changed the state in Advanced options of my power options, I have set it to 50% but you could try different figures and choose the right one for your set up.

    If that doesn't work, try disabling "dynamictic" by run this command in cmd with admin privillages without the quotes, "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes"
