    @harlienoir  couple of things that pop up is first the device driver for the Nvidia GeForce GT 540m is WAY out of date. The driver is not WHQL.  The system hard drive only has 37.9Gb of free space and that could be causing issues and the page file looks to be using 11Gb of that free space. Windows creates a lot of temp files and so does programs and some of those programs may start fighting over the little that is left over. It looks like some updates are failing as Windows is not at the current version.  Clean out the system drive - update the Nvidia driver - and update Windows 10.
