Hi, so I recently just built a new desktop pc. I’m having this issue where I can use it and it works fine for a short period of time, then if I go to do anything like download any drivers or update anything it freezes completely and requires me to force restart it with the power button. I have tried many different options but I’m not sure what is going on. I noticed the last time it froze, task manager showed the disk being at 99% when it froze. I’m not sure if it has to do with my HDD or if it’s another issue entirely. Any ideas or solutions is appreciated! Also, I am not using an updated version of Windows 10. The installation I had to use was an old version but I’m also unable to check for updates due to an error (0x80240fff), and every time I go to update my drivers for any device the pc freezes. Once again any help is appreciated!

Specs:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
GPU - GTX 950
Mobo - MSI B450-A Pro Max
PSU - EVGA 600w
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1 tb
