Windows 10: Computer freezes after an hour and a half of usage

So I have a issue of where my computer just degrades and freezes after about an hour of usage, I've only had this computer for about a few days, and I built it myself so this is pretty annoying. My short term solution was to just restart it every hour after it hits that mark in task manager. Also I've tried a ton of troubleshooting with random articles online, and YouTube videos. I am almost certain that this isn't a overheating problem as I have been using task manager up until the very moment that it crashes Temps are only lower than 60 degrees Celsius. I have no leads right now. For

After Anniversary Update every half an hour or so or computer freezes and makes a whirring noise.

After installing the Anniversary Update download today, my computer has gone completely haywire and it either freezes every half an hour or so or it freezes and makes a whirring noise. Its a relatively
new HP Envy and its never had any problems before and I'm not really sure whats wrong. Is anybody else facing a similar problem?

slowness in computer usage.

Hi John,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• 
  What makes you think that system is running slow? Is it when you are trying to run application?
  
• 
  Did you install any third party security application?
  

From the screenshot that you have provided, I understood that it’s not the issue with the disk usage. The slowness might be due to the memory usage.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run maintenance task and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X from the desktop.
  
• 
  Select Control panel and Select System and Security.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshoot common computer problems under System and maintenance.
  
• 
  Now Run maintenance task under
  System and security.
  

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.
