Windows 10: Frozen PC unusable

I cannot use my PC. It is booting OK but nothing can be run. There is an endlessly rotating busy circle displayed whenever I click an app or other file. I have seen this before but it has ended after a short delay, this time it is unending. None of the usual fixes I have such, as Super F4, Kill It All or Explorer Restart are working. I have to close down by using power off. But on reboot it is still frozen. When it happened befor I assumed it was due to insufficient RAM being available but it happens now even when RAM usage is reported as between 50% and 70%, the usual working level.

What is causing this and what can I do about it? I am having to send this from my Android Tablet.

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
