The Event Viewer found nothing useful. I have saved my UEFI settings and rebooted several times to try to get windows to stabilize.

Thanks for the clarification.
In this case, check Reliability Monitor:
Press "Windows + R", type
perfmon /rel, and press "Enter";Check the red critical icons around the times the system froze to see if a specific service or driver (e.g., graphics driver) failed right before the freeze.
Share a screenshot of what you find. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.
Looking forward to your reply.

This behavior can occur for several reasons. It is necessary to investigate.
Please export and share the log for analysis:
- Press Windows + X and select Event Viewer;
- Expand Windows Logs and select System;
- In the Actions panel on the right, select Filter Current Log;
- In Event level, check the boxes Critical, Warning, and Error and click on Ok;
- Again, in the Actions panel, select Save Filtered Log File As and save in an easily accessible place.
Then, upload the file to the cloud (OneDrive), choose to share it, and get the link.
Post the link to the file here so I can have a look.
Looking forward to your reply.
