Windows 10: My computer will freeze shortly after startup and force me to power it down.

I do not know the cause of the freezes/crashes, but I have narrowed it down a little. 1. It is not likely to be overheating because I have tested and noticed the temperature varied every time it crashed 33-57C2. It's not dust. I gutted out my computer and cleaned out everything and it did not change a thing3. I don't know if this matters but if I give it a few hours it takes longer to crash/freezeI have tried multiple times to update my drivers but I cannot do it in time before it freezes again. I have also tried to run a scan on windows defender and McAfee but it once again froze too fast

Windows 10 freezes shortly after logging in

Jan,

Thank you for the help. I went through all the suggestions you offered. None of the scans returned any errors. I also went through the steps on the page you linked to.

In addition, I also ran "mdsched.exe" and a disk check, which also returned no errors.

Unfortunately, the problem has not gone away. My computer freezes shortly after logging in.

Do you have any other suggestions for diagnostics I might be able to use?
