Try starting it up in "Safe Mode" and see if it runs correctly. Granted, you will have limited access, but you can test the freezing, etc. If nothing happens when in "Safe Mode" then you may well have a bad program, malware, virus, etc., on the device that will need removing.
How to enter "Safe Mode" when booting the computer.
In Windows 8 and 10...
As your computer restarts, press F8 (possibly a few times) to enter "Safe Mode"
a. Press the "F4" key to Enable "Safe Mode".
(The computer will then start in "Safe Mode" with a minimal set of drivers and services.)
b. Press the "F5" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Networking.

c. Press the "F6" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Command Prompt.
(In "Safe Mode" with "Command Prompt" starts Windows in Safe Mode, with a Command Prompt window instead of the Windows interface. This option is mostly only used by IT professionals.)

3. Next the "Advanced Boot Options" menu will appear.
