Could be caused by CPU over heating. Double check that your CPU fan hasn't slightly slipped off, that's happened to me before.

Is there a way to check whether there was overheating?
-
When it freezes, check your motherboard for a two digit readout, look at what it says & check your motherboard manual, that should tell you. But I think on mine when it was freezing it was reading 68 or 69.
-
Like a display literally on the motherboard itself? Or is this in software somewhere?
-
Literally a display. It's two hex digits, they are usually orange, they are definitely there if your motherboard doesn't have a speaker to beep errors.

hmm, interesting

Other than running ccleaner, defragging, and making sure you’ve no malware or virii?
-
New computer, so none of those are an issue.
-
Reinstall browser and/or flash. Other than that, uh. Reformat or run hardware scan tool from manufacturer website. Usually it’s just funky software though. <shrug>
-
Of course, failing all that you could websearch symptoms or error code to look for bugs or apps not playing nice together. Depends.
-
No error code evident unfortunately

There's also a 'rare' win 10 bug where the system can consume %98-100 of CPU or hard disk (assuming hdd) resources. Make sure before you observe your next crash you have system monitor open so you can see what's failing.

Looks like a more sudden and hard freeze than that sounds to me. Plus no fan speed increase
