Hi all, recently my PC has been behaving quite oddly. At first, it started with my PC simply just crashing explorer.exe a lot, I'd have to restart my computer because the explorer kept hanging. Recently though it's been behaving more oddly, it requires a disk checkup on boot and then, blue screens of death with the error code MEMORY\_MANAGEMENT. the PC doesn't operate fast either, programs hang and freeze, I can't install anything, and everything takes 10x slower to boot INCLUDING my PC.

I assumed I just need to reset windows so I installed the media creation tool to a USB and tried to boot from there, but it hangs on there too! it gets eternally stuck on the "Setup is starting" screen, and the repair windows hang too, so I assume it might be a hardware issue?

I have 2 drives, 1 SSD which has the main Windows partitions, and 1 HDD with two default partitions

Please help, I need this PC for my University work, and I also really need the files on my SSD.
 
Solution
If your system hangs even when booting from a USB device, coupled with the error message about memory, my first place to troubleshoot would be the RAM and then branch out from there.
