PC freezes when opening chrome or similar apps.

About 3 days ago I tried updating my bios to the latest version (non beta) and everything seemed well and all, but I tried loading up a game and my system froze and had to shut it down by force. This continued to the point where I also updated my chipset drivers and it didn’t seem to get better at all. Eventually I reverted to an older version of bios which kind of stabilized my system to the point where I can get to the Home Screen. My pc seemed stable enough and I was even able to run GD (idk if it’s graphic or ram heavy) pretty smoothly. I didn’t know what to do by then so I backed up all my important stuff and reset my pc as well as upgraded to windows 11. Everything updated and reset perfectly and idles just fine without issues. I thought the issue was resolved, but the moment I went to YouTube and played a video, my pc slowed down and the audio became crunchy until my screen went black and my pc was sent back to the login screen. This has happened ever since and can’t really seem to find the fix anymore. Any help on what to do?

I also noticed on event viewer that “Event ID 1801, TPM-WMI: update secure boot certificates are available but have not been applied to the firmware” seems to pop up after every freeze that happens. Other errors and events such as event id 454 also seem common afterwards.
