1] Test your RAM
To fix this, you must run the Memory Check on your computer. Start by hitting the WINKEY + R button combination to launch the Run utility. Then type in, mdsched.exe and then hit Enter. It will launch Windows Memory Diagnostic and will give out two options. These options will be given as-
- Restart now and check for problems (recommended)
- Check for problems the next time I start my computer
Now, according to the option selected by you, the computer will restart and check for memory-based problems upon a restart. If you get any issues there, it will fix it automatically else if no issues are detected, this is probably not the cause of the issue.
You can also test RAM with Memtest86+.
2] Run System File Checker

4. Turn off Fast Startup
Disable Fast Startup and see if that helps you.
5. Update Intel Management Engine Interface
