Out of curiosity how is your PC now? Have you fully identified the issue and either been able to fix or at least find a way to avoid it?
I've been having my own issues with my 2.5 year old Windows 11 PC over the last few weeks. It would only stay up for maybe 15 minutes before totally freezing and needing a power-button shutdown and restart. Sometimes I got to closer to an hour or even 2 hours up time before a freeze but never longer than that.
I've mostly been trying to get work done in 15 minute chunks (or more when I was lucky) because my PC did always reboot successfully after a freeze and I needed it to get some decisions made and subsequent share trading done in order to fully use my CGT allowance before end of this tax year but that's done now and I think I've found my issue by doing a 'sfc /scannow' on my C: partition that found 3 corrupted Bluetooth driver files and fixed them all.
I'm hoping that was the problem because my PC has now been up for almost 24 hours without any issues. If that was the cause then that's moderately interesting because I always run with Bluetooth (and WiFi) disabled in settings because I don't need them but whatever - I'll definitely take the win if repairing those files has solved my issues.
