It could be worth it for you to backup all your info and then do a fresh install of windows. That way you can try to narrow it down to a software or hardware issue.

Does it crash when you turn it on and just let it sit? Or only after getting into Windows?

If it’s that bad then I’m definitely leaning towards you having a faulty drive. Could also be a CPU that’s on the way out.

I think I recall having a similar problem about 5 or 6 years ago. You could try reinstalling windows, all your data should get put in the Windows.Old folder somewhere on the C drive after install. See if it'll behave then. If it still acts up you might get just enough time to lift your old data, then you could try a new drive.
