Computer freezes after starting

It starts up ok but once its finished loading I get about 10 secs of use then it completely freezes up, can't access any programs or even the task manager. I have to kill the power supply to turn it off. It will however start up ok in safe mode and can get online with it. Have run MalwareBytes and getting a clean scan. Any ideas?

Does it work in Safe Mode? To get there, repeatedly tap F8 just before the Windows splash screen shows up.
If it works in Safe Mode, check your Event Viewer for errors during bootup and the 10 seconds before it locks.
To do this, go to Start...Run...and type in "eventvwr.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
Check for errors in the System and Application log files.

Ok just did that, admittedly I have no idea what I'm looking at lol. There are lots of events around the time I started in normal mode, however the only oneI found that were marked as an error is this one

Found this in the Applications section. Not marked as an error but figured I should put it in here just in case:

The DCOM error is fairly common and I don't believe it relates to your issue (especially since this one was from booting into Safe Mode.
The other two are interesting - but I have no idea what to do with them.

Scroll back in the logs to a time when you booted into normal mode and it froze - that'll be the time frame where the error messages are most likely to show us something. If you can't remember what time it was - just boot into normal mode and let it freeze, then boot into Safe Mode and check for errors then.

I did that, and those are the results which is really frustrating as it doesnt appear to be showing anything relevent. I'm not comp expert but it almost seems like there is a file gone walkabouts that makes everything link together. Then again I could be wrong (which is usually true lol)

Most often this type of problem is associated with a hardware issue (when it doesn't show errors) - although there are lot's of excepetions to this.

I'd suggest uninstall your video drivers from Control Panel...Add/Remove Programs, then downloading the latest version from the manufacturer of your video chipset.

I'd also check to make sure that all the fans on your system are working. If this is a desktop system, you may want to try another video card to see if that fixes it.
