Troubleshooting frequent computer crashes, unable to turn on "send optional data to Microsoft"

My computer has been crashing at least once a day, if not more. I suspect it may be due to the Windows 11 build beta, but I am unable to turn on "send optional data to Microsoft" to confirm. I have attempted troubleshooting with no success. The event log displays generic errors, and I have tried removing different components to prevent the crashes. When the crashes do occur, the computer locks up completely and requires a hard power-off, as there is no response from the keyboard or mouse. The screen freezes, and there is no blue screen. Upon starting the computer again, it restarts as if nothing happened.

    Hello,

    Try check if press "Ctrl+Alt+Del" together when the machine hangs. If press "Ctrl+Alt+Del" together can open task manager, check which process is unresponsive and end that task.

    Hard drive, RAM, video card, or another hardware can also cause a computer to lock up. Try update drivers, check if there is driver confliction, and uninstall 3rd party anti-virus softwares.
