I have been using this computer for quite a while, and it always worked great. I have done some upgrades (RAM and thermal paste) but it never killed the device, it actually helped it out both times. The problem didn't happen after any hardware modification whatsoever. I was just watching a YouTube video when the blue screen appeared, saying that windows needed to restart because of a problem. At this point I wasn't scared at all, because this happened to me couple times and then after restarting everything was OK. But now, the computer would post fine everytime, but freeze while booting. I tried both UEFI and Legacy boot modes, I tried both SATA and NVME slots, and even booting to an external drive.
It does boot up sometimes, and then I can use it for hours and it works perfectly fine.
This is the only computer I can use for decent gaming so I would like it to work. I tried to boot to a Lubuntu USB drive, with a bit more success than windows. It successfully boots up more often. Then there is absolutely no problem doing demanding tasks at all.
