Windows 10: Computer randomly freezes, windows\system32\winload.exe

Hi, I am looking for some solutions to my computers problems. Ever since estimated March-ish I have had computer problems mainly revolving around my computer freezing. Often when I would be playing a game like Overwatch the game would simply freeze and not let me Ctrl+ Alt + Delete, forcing me to simply force shut down with the power button. As I restarted the computer, I would often face a windows/system32/logfiles/srt/srttrail.txt error which of running the startup repair and other commonly tried solutions worked leaving me to again force shut down with the power button. I was eventually forced to delete all the info on my hard drives and reinstall windows after many force shut downs and restarts did not rid the blue screen, which I thought fixed the issue. However, recently, my computer has been freezing, refusing to let me do any action including ctrl + alt + delete. This happens when I am playing games like valorant and insurgency sandstorm which has led me to believe it is not a game related issue, but also simply when I am browsing the internet. When I force shut down I sometimes meet the windows\system32\winload.exe error with error code: 0xc000000e, which most of the times doesn't even let me press F8 for the startup options, again forcing a force shut down. I am worried I will have to reinstall Windows again or build a new pc, are there any possible solutions?

Windows 10 freezes randomly

I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin

I had tried that as well... no result.

 

System32

I was going to go on my PC and then I randomly got Automatic Repair. The title was your PC needs to be repaired.

Filename: C:/Windows/system32

It was an exe file (not winload!)

I forgot the name so I cannot say the real filename

I also forgot the stop code.

Can someone please help me?!
