    Windows 10 Issue - Boots fine and works for 2 mins, then freezes


    Specs:
    AMD FX-8350 @ 4.3GHz
    16GB RAM
    GTX 970 4GB
    120GB SSD
    1TB HDD

    So I have had an earlier build of Windows 10 TP on my system installed onto my SSD and I was using that as my daily driver for about a month or so. It worked great and I was loving the new features! However, there was an update to build 10041 that failed multiple times trying to install, and eventually screwed itself up to the point where I had to do a fresh install. After doing a fresh install of 10041, I reinstalled all my programs and everything was wroking just fine in the first boot. However, after rebooting a couple of times, I'm noticing some problems. I can login and go to my desktop just fine and everything works perfectly for about 30seconds to 2 minutes, and then after that things go haywire. Start menu won't work, the cortana search goes blank, explorer hangs, chrome freezes, windows updates will pause, and my pc just becomes unusable and I have to manually reboot. After doing this many times and troublshooting (disabling startup programs/services, etc) Safe mode would open up saying it had an "unknown hard error" when I tried to boot into it. I had to reinstall again. This time, I'm running on build 10049 and it's doing exactly the same thing as before. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm about to just reinstall my windows 7 again.
