" haven't had a single freeze caused by Web Protection the entire time "

I read this and tried turning Web protection back on and left ransomeware off. Crashed. Only leaving both off stops crash for me Windows 7 Ultimate.

thanks

" I should've mentioned previously that the first freeze I had on my SSD was straight after a pop up informing me ransomware protection was disabled. "

me too - although a false positive - but freezes also at other times.

My PC's been freezing since Jan 7th, not a blue screen crash, just hangs on the desktop or whatever application I have open and all inputs become unresponsive. Only way to resolve is a hard reboot. The freezing I've been encountering seems to be aggressive, one time it froze less than five minutes after boot up to the desktop. A couple of other times it's been roughly 10 to 20 minutes into normal use (Web browsing, playing games, opening applications, etc.). Spent a whole day in safe mode toggling programs on and off one by one trying to isolate who was the culprit without any success and it was driving me insane. Various google searches yielded the problem was likely hardware-related and I dreaded having to tear apart my PC to begin troubleshooting for reasons I won't go into.

I had this exact same issue starting a couple of days ago under Windows 7 Ultimate. First the screen would freeze 5-20 minutes after boot, followed by mouse. Seemed random. Only solution was to unplug computer and power back up. I disabled Web protection and ransomeware protection on Malwarebytes and have had no freezing in last several hours.

I think this was associated with freezes:
