Hi all, looking for some help diagnosing issues with pc.

Few weeks ago I was at a lan, left my pc on whilst I went to eat and when I came back it had frozen. The mouse would move but opening task manager and the like seemed to take forever, like something was using 100% cpu and it was queuing it up. I rebooted PC and it hung on the windows 10 login screen forever, that little dial that spins when it is busy. Several boots later and doing a check disk I got it working again.
Now I am getting the same issues on a more regular basis. I can leave the pc on for days and it will be fine and then I will turn it on one day and it will do the same thing again, hang on the loading screen, do auto repair etc..etc.. When I finally do get back on Windows it is faultless. This morning it did it again then and hung and I had to reboot. Now I can't get Windows 10 to load at all, stuck on the infinite load screen, auto repair.

I have had
BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO error messages when attempting to boot
SNAP-MMC stopped unexpectedly when trying to view the event viewer
an 0xe9 message today which is the first time I have seen that.

It is an x58 i7 950, Gigabyte x58 UD3R Rev 2.0, Samsung 830, 12gb ram, gtx 970. I have loaded up the Samsung Magician software and it says the drive is healthy. I have ran memtest and got 0 errors. Just done a drive health check in Ubuntu (what I am currently writing this from) and it says it is fine. I did a clean Windows 10 install after first getting these issues. Not sure what else to check. It seems to point to drive issues? I am wondering if potential driver issues?
 
I can't boot into windows at the minute to get the smart data, unless I can post the thing from the linux test?

I have got back into Windows and it is all okay at the minute. I dual boot with Ubuntu and have Grub loader which makes booting into safe mode really difficult (can't do it?). I right clicked my drive and did "check for errors" it said it found some and needed to be rebooted so I did that. Any other tools I can try to check it?
 
I meant to reply this morning, but I ran that SFC /Scannow and it found and fixed some errors. I will do that SMART magician thing now.
