    Hi, i have Lenovo Ideapad Y700 i5-6300HQ, 960m, 8GB, 1TB HDD. Win 10 x64
    My Laptop is randomly completely freezing(with that stuck sound). Some days are without a freeze, then other days laptop can freeze even 3 times a day. Sometimes he freezes for like 3s and then comes back, other times only hard reset helps.

    There were even BSODs sometimes, but i don't know it is related because i heard that was because windows and Intel Wireless driver were not compatible and i updated it.

    It happens randomly on desktop, when using a browser or something. Doesn't happen in games but i don't play a lot so don't know for sure.

    What might be the problem or what parts should i test and how?

    Just got a BSOD while doing literally nothing. I was away from notebook for like 5 minutes and came back to see a BSOD with Stop Code: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.

    Probably your 1tb shdd. I have lenovo y50 and was getting same freezing with default 1tb shdd. I swapped for regular HDD. And now no freeze. Try it.
