Windows 10: Why does my computer stall consistantly?

When I use the computer for 5 to 20 minutes, it freezes. I have to pull the plug to shot it off.

Latest HTC Surround Update (7.10.8772.98) Repeatedly Stalls

The update proceeds to step 6 of 10 in Zune, and the update then stalls after phone restart with download icon on the phone screen (I have waited over an hour). During this time, the Cancel button becomes active on the Zune screen with no error messages.
I have followed ALL of the troubleshooting procedures listed (including disk space checks) and can find no issues preventing the update. It SEEMS LIKE the phone is attempting to send stored data on the phone to a location on the computer,
but that location is hidden, protected or does not exist.

I have contacted the service provider and HTC, and both say this is a Microsoft problem. I would appreciate knowing exactly what is supposed to be happening after phone update restart (step 6) so I can troubleshoot further, or any other suggestions. Please
remember that I have tried ALL of the troubleshooting suggestions at the Windows Phone website!

Computer stalls on startup

When I start my Dell desktop in the AM, the circle of rotating dots comes on. It completes two revolutions and stalls on the third. I turn off the computer and turn it back on again. Then the start up completes. I am afraid it will stall permanently.
I can't install Windows 10 on my other computers. I think I removed 'risky' procedures from the startup routine in Task Manager. Anyone with similar experience? Thanks.
