    That’s a fair point.

    Both system crashes were in fact a totally unresponsive system after a random action minutes after coming back from a long period of inactivity.

    Crash 1: computer had been left on, downloading some software and games, for the past 2 hours. When I came back, I moved the mouse, the screen turned on again, I put down my password, saw the files that had finished downloading, and then I pressed alt tab, and the whole screen froze. After waiting 1 minute, I tried closing programs or seeing if anything was responsive, and it was not the case. No keyboard command was working, mouse wasn’t moving. I did a hard reset.

    Crash 2: I’m playing something full screen, then pause to go have lunch. Come back 1 hour later, pc never went into sleep, and the screen is still on, on the pause menu. I alt tab to check my email, and when I tab back into the game the screen freezes on my email (with the tab selector in the middle).
