Heat:
-Only use the laptop on a hard surface with nothing blocking any of the vents.
-Use a laptop cooling pad if possible

-Ensure that the fan comes on and is blowing air out of the vent (may not happen at startup, but should happen after using it for a while).

So this issue was happening yesterday so I used the factory image option to wipe my computer. The problem is still there but I run the diagnostics and everything checks out fine.
I uninstalled McAfee but the shortcut was still there.
No malware was found.
For startup, safe mode with command prompt seem to be the only stable option.
I attached the hard drive report from CrystalDiskInfo
Heat monitoring tools aren't running in safe mode.
In regards to Atheros Driver, I'm not sure what one is installed on this computer...
For Memtest, I ran that last night and it came up with no errors.
of the hard drive results?
