You have confirmed that these issues have started occurring after the user recently installed new software which significantly increased the system's workload. What's the NEXT step to determine the issue?
Verify if any recent system or driver updates were installed that may be incompatible with the current system configuration and causing the slowdown.
Run antivirus scan to check if the system has been infected with malware, which might be causing reduced performance and instability.
Monitor the CPU and RAM usage through the operating system's performance monitoring tool to observe if the system's resources are overutilized when the software is running.
Inspect the internal hardware components such as the motherboard and processor for any signs of damage that might be causing the crashes.
