Windows 10: System crashing often after unsuccessful OS update

My laptop model is HP 17-by0xxx. I have tried to install the OS windows 10, version 2004 yesterdayMy earlier running one being version 1909. I couldn't find the update from windows update setting in my pc, so I tried to do it by force update using windows update assistant. It has taken some time for download and installation up to 70 percent was also fairly fast. But after that it has taken a lot of time like 6 hours and after that my pc requested for restart and it has stopped many times even while restarting and I slept thinking that the update will be successful by today morning but when I woke up, my whole laptop screen was blacked out and I couldn't press any buttons. So, I force stopped the update using power button and restarted it again which took me more than 3 hours to do so. And after that my laptop went black again and I have restarted it. This time it took 2 hours to restart and whole screen was shut for like 10 minutes after the start. I think that my laptop was slowed down because of the unsuccessful update process. My laptop bounced back to version 1909 again and I need to usewsl2 now in my project which is only available for version 2004. Please suggest me how to install version 2004 without any complications and then wsl2.


Thanks in advance!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

Nvidia GT9600 Crashes often!

The... crash was not as often as before... but it still happens. I've done all the changes... and no I don't think there's a problem with my RAM chip since I've swapped them as suggested. I've also cleaned out the dust from the fans... help?

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.
