I have a critical error i need help with

[dbtaswell12]

I am experiencing an extreme issue with windows 10 right now. I experience extreme (4-5 minute) boot times, and explorer.exe hangs and stops responding, and the whole PC freezes (BUT DOES NOT BLUE SCREEN) when i launch any games, and forces me to force shutdown and restart. The only way to restart it is to hold the power button as it will not shut off. The PC does not freeze and blue screen, it just stops responding or showing my input. Even firefox is freezing and occasionally not responding as i write this. I just replaced thermal paste on he CPU, the PSU has been fine for over a year and steady, and the GPU is brand new, like 2 months, and the Disk passes all SMART health checks, most scores above normal. PC can standby with no issue, and has no issue running games until they load in, at which point issues begin to occur. Also, when the problem occurs, the "System" process uses 100% disk but only at 0.1mbps. Please help.

You may have some malware.

I run malwarebytes all the time, as well as SuperAntiSpyware and they never find anything.

You need a full antivirus scan, those 2 are specialized for other things, not viruses.

from wd web page download there hard drive test tools. if the drive passes download hardware info set it to logging and sensor. watch your power rails make sure they stay withing atx spc. with amd fx cpu if the mb vrm age badly if there ac ripple or there locking up when hot. you see those kind of issues your having. if your case is small or has one fan try running wiht the sides off see if anything changes.
