So, some context. Most of my pc components are from 2018~. I don't know how long before they start physically degrading, but I been using this pc just about every day since. No issues till about a month ago.
At first I noticed some screen flickers on main monitor, then it'll freeze. My second monitor still works for about a minute then it'll freeze as well. Usually this happens when I'm playing a game / underload, but occasionally it happens even if only file explorer is opened. Reinstalled nvidia drivers, didnt work. Check sfc, didnt work. Reset, didnt work.
On my X reset, I noticed:
Anyways, after my last reset everything was good for about a week. Till now, still unable to enter secure boot, and now things would randomly crash. 3 times i have now experienced this, everytime is during/after gaming. Either the game would freeze and go non responsive, or when i try to close the game it goes non-responsive. Either way, it doesnt quit, the sending crash info to microsoft would freeze too, task manager cant force it quit, Task manager would then freeze and go non-responsive itself, event viewer cant start, in general many windows applications struggles during then, restarting would be stuck. However, during all this most non-windows apps still work fine.
I have tried to reset again, since most of my data is on another disk. However, no change.
Plz help. I have a feeling my problems then and now is stemming from the same thing. But at this point i have no clue if its hardware or even software

On my X reset, I noticed:
- Bios is somehow 'reset'. Boot mode showed csm, secure boot was off and didnt have keys. My fan settings were reset. I changed everything back. csm to uefi ( I think I had it on uefi before)
- unable to enter secure boot. Even after turning it on and reseting the keys. I would get to the blue screen where you select which boot option to enter. But then, my keyboard lights are off, I try to press to enter secure boot and nothing happens. After about a minute, the pc would shut itself off.
