Hi, my HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-dk0xxx , 16 gb ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, frequently freezes and force me to restart it during any type of activities, not only when I'm stressing it with gaming or work programs like cad or 3d modeling, but sometimes it happens also when I'm just surfing the internet. I tried with programs to clean the pc, to update softwares and drivers, but actually it is a problem that goes on since I bought the product and never stop. Maybe somebody is used to this type of problems and can help me? thank you

I have the 17 inch version and it freezes several times a hour and looses all the work, i have paid for extra support but there is no information anywhere on how to communicate with a human being, just automated messages, only had the laptop 6 months use for 2 hours per day.
Done bios hardware tests several times as well as full re installs, only thing is if i run from a ubuntu usb it works fine all day so it must be hard rdive system also a clue is that after the restart the keyboard lights are not on.
