OT: Need tech support (Windows 11)

My work computer is having issues and my company doesn't have a real tech support team (small company, my bosses go-to is to take it to Best Buy/Geek Squad and see what they say about it), so I was hoping someone here that is smarter than me might be able to help figure out what my issue is

Lately, my i'll be in the middle of something and everything will be working perfectly fine, until it isn't. Everything will lock up and after a few seconds I'll get a prompt saying "Microsoft Windows: This application is not responding. The program may respond again if you wait. Do you want to end this process?" Waiting does nothing and terminating basically shuts everything down and gives me a blank screen. If I just hit the power button and put it to sleep, not even a full shutdown, it'll start working again for a little while. It's gotten to the point where it is happening multiple times a day now, though, including once while typing this post.

I've run Window's troubleshooting helpers, a malware scanner, defragmenter, updated drivers, performance scans, etc. and everything seems to be fine. I'm not getting any errors, corrupted files, or anything anywhere. Anyone have any ideas of what could be causing this? My initial thought is maybe a hardware issue or failure?
