Agreed. You could also try booting into safe mode to see if it's a driver issue. Another option is to run the built-in hardware diagnostics from the BIOS.

Have you tried booting from a Windows USB to see if it's a problem with the drive or the OS installation?

Yeah, I had the same problem with a different model. For me, it ended up being a faulty RAM module that passed the initial checks but failed under load. Good luck!

Did you get a chance to try that, or is it crashing even before you can select a boot device?

Agreed, that's a good next step. If you can't even reach the boot menu, try holding the power button for 60 seconds to do a full hardware reset.

+1 If that doesn't help, can you tell me if you installed any new hardware or software just before this started?

Agreed, that sounds exactly like a hardware fault. A quick tip: try booting with just one RAM stick at a time to see if you can isolate the bad module.

Yeah, Also, have you tried booting from a USB drive to see if it's a Windows issue or the hardware itself?

Same here. You could also try resetting the BIOS to its default settings, as an unstable configuration there can cause this. Let me know if that works.
