How old is your hardware components including peripheral and when was the last time you updated their drivers?
Freeze Crash and Nvidia Driver Stopped Responding

My main components such as the intel i5-3570k, gtx 660ti, gigabyte z77x-3dh motherboard, 8 gb ram, 700w psu, and 1 TB hard drive are about 4 years old. I bought each of the parts and put it together myself. I only updated the graphics card.
However, the compaq keyboard and speakers are like 10 years old. Finally, the logitech mouse is around 3-5 years old. I never updated the peripherals since I didn't even think that was possible xD

I would check for the older components for driver updates, I don't expect any but always check.
Drivers may cause system freezes, especially peripheral drivers are often causing it.

I checked Compaq/HP's official site, and it looks like they don't even support my keyboard anymore lmao
At least I haven't gotten a crash or problem in a few days now xD

=o Windows 10 froze up again. It's very infrequent; in fact, it was like 3-4 days since the last freeze.
However, I did notice that it usually happens within 10-15 minutes of booting up the computer.
And while Windows 10 is somewhat frozen, I can still continue watching videos on youtube, but eventually chrome stops responding to xD
Edit: It just happened twice in a row, all within 10-15 minutes of booting up the computer.

Nope. I can pretty much only move my mouse. The keyboard doesn't respond to anything.

Ok, so I have all the tests here. There is one problem that the health test detects. It's a Interface CRC Error Count, and it says that there might be communication errors possibly caused by a damaged cable, which I'm assuming is the SATA cable. I'm not sure if that's the cause of the problems, can you confirm?
Edit: I ran the CPU stress test some more, and wow I've never seen my CPU at 100% load It usually barely goes past 40-50 celsius, but this time it reached 66 celsius at its highest point. In total, it passed 4 tests. I stopped it a bit early, because I wasn't sure when it would end.

Keep an eye on the Interface CRC error, if it increases occasionally then you should worry about it.
This error typically means a problem with the hard drive, cable or motherboard.
