Unable to update Windows 10 to v1809. Freezing at boot after reboot.

I am not being able to update my windows 10 device. After all the update files downloaded, I restarted the system (2 times). But it freezes at a boot screen like the image. It doesn't boot up. Even the keyboard isn't working at this time. And after I force shutdown using button and restart again, it takes too long to restart. And everything is back to normal like previous.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is it only me facing this issue? 

How to solve this or update my system? Someone, please help me.

PC specs:

RAM 32 GB

Graphics: NVIDIA 970

CPU: Intel(R) core(TM) i7-5820K @3.30GHz 3.30GHz

64 bit

I've installed a UXtheme patcher and a theme. If its the problem here. 

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Just a heads up if you do this - expect some bugs in the developer preview. I loaded it up and then went to launch GTA5, had a hard crash bluescreen every time.

    I rolled back to 1803.

    @LNewt3 & FrankOlsen1:

    Is your CPU overclocked or not? I tried a few things to get my X99S MPOWER setup working with 1809 to no avail (modifying BIOS and mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll). In the end 1809 just doesn't like overclocking when using a X99 chipset.

    Running with stockspeeds, I have no problems upgrading to and running 1809; it's only if I overclock (OC Genie or manual overclocking) that my MSI system is hanging right after booting...

    So I wonder whether build developer preview 1904 really fixes this problem or maybe that you guys just reverted back to stock speeds by accident?

    I have tried stock but it doesn´t help. MSI is starting to help.

    I found a temporary solution in that I'm on the Developer Preview: I moved to the fast cycle which skipped the current October 2018 update and moved to the May 2019 one instead (18xyzz).

    This version?

    This one is working :)
