Windows 10: System CRASHING!

There have been on-going issues with task bar having delayed responses or sometimes being completely unresponsive. Yesterday, my entire PC crashed.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?

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.
