See what is happening "backstage" when this occurs. Possibly a program or
driver is failing. Look in Event Viewer for clues.

Start Orb>Search box>type: eventvwr.msc
When eventvwr.msc appears above, click on it.

I'm sorry, but there is no way to give you more specific advice based on
such a vague post. Try narrowing down your troubleshooting:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

If the machine is clean, you can do clean-boot troubleshooting to see if
something running in the background is the culprit.
