Computer crashes can surface suddenly, which will put you under the heft of hassles to find a solution, especially when you belong to the average user category.

Figuring out why the computer crashed is a tricky task most of the times, but in all the similar cases it’s possible that you might lose data, or the file(s) & folder(s) stored on the hard drive turn inaccessible, and users keeps searching on how to fix Windows 10 corruption issues?

Thus, in this write-up, we’ll show you how to recover Outlook data from a crashed computer and discuss the top five reasons why your PC (personal computer) might crash.

Why do Computers Crash?

  • Unorganized Files
  • Windows 10 breaks up files and fits them into gaps in the system’s memory, and these unorganized files can cause frequent and sudden system crashes. To overcome this, you can make use of a utility that comes built-in, Disk Fragmentation. Using the utility, you can clean up the spread pieces of data on your hard drive.

  • Low Memory
  • Its one of those basic issues which all the mid-tier users face, computer systems with fewer Gigs of RAM at some point of time will surely go through this. The number of programs you run on your system, temporary internet files and specifically chrome tabs, are those things that eat up a lot of memory leaving not much for the system to run smoothly.

  • Corrupt System Registry Files
  • Windows 10 registry files are important for the performance and operation of the computer and over time the registry files can become corrupt or unavailable, thus due to this recurring system crashes can be seen.

  • Overheating
  • If you’re running your PC for longer time frames and pushing the system beyond the boundary of its capabilities, then, you may observe system crashes. Extensive gaming, improper CPU fan functioning, and more can cause the system to overheat, resulting in system crash.

  • Malicious Items
  • It’s nothing new, malicious software or programs can not only cause the Windows 10 system crash but even more than that. It’s recommended roaming carefully inside the internet realm, as for the else cases small mining programs can make way to your system through other programs/software which you may download. These mining software get installed automatically and couldn’t be taken off the system unless the whole system re-install is performed.
