Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro will not run properly on new loading?

I have been having a problem with 10 Pro not running properly on my computer. No idea as to why.
I have been running Linux Ubuntu for the last two years on this computer ( using it now) and wanted to change over to Windows 10 Pro for better editing of videos and easier updates of software.
I loaded the 1ST Pro from a USB drive with COA and it ran for about a week and then failed to load at boot-up.
It would not re-load the OS ever again. No option in boot-up to restore.
The 2ND attempt was from a new SSD loaded with a COA 10 Pro ( latest updates from dealer) and it worked for 60 seconds and locked -up the home page and that was it. No idea of version number as the SSD locked up and no key-strokes worked/mouse at all. It set off a CPU a high temp alarm.
Nothing wrong with the CPU cooling or silver cooling paste. I checked.
No more operation from then on with windows 10 Pro.
My computer was built by me and has worked for two years no with no issues.
500 watt power supply
Intel DH67GD mother board
Intel i5-2400 3.10 Ghz CPU
GeForce GT1030 GPU
8 GB RAM memory
64 bit
WD 500 GB Blue HDD ( running as I write this)
Have I just been lucky and got two bad copies of Win Pro? or am I missing something about a change over from Linux Ubuntu to Win pro 10? I have re-set the mother board BIOS several times to no avail.
The HDD and SSD were brand new, formatted for Windows, and self-checks showed no issues.
I'm stumped.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Release Date Announced

Windows 10 Home will be $119, Pro $199.

Microsoft: Windows 10 Home costs $119, Pro costs $199



Which is good news actually, because Windows 8.1 is loads cheaper than previous versions (retail licensing at Windows 7 OEM prices). And it sort of puts a huge hole in the Windows subscription theory.

My machine was very unstable after upgrading from 7. In fact, the GPU issues I had came out of that upgrade. I highly suggest doing a clean install.
