Hello again. After the last post, I managed to use the computer for a while but since yesterday it's been either freezing completly or giving me the Blue Screen with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. I've had to reset the pc just so I can use it without being afraid of it going down again. I don't really know what to do at this point. When I check the error it says its an hardware issue. Could it be from overheating? It's been hot where I am (between 30 and 40º) but I have the laptop on a fan stand. I'm not even going to venture into driver installing, just going to stick to Windows Update. Any form of help would be appreciated

are there any other real basic diagnostic steps you aren't going to do so we know when recommend taking it to a shop to be repaired

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for helping me on these issues.
I'm currently following the "My PC keeps turning off... - Tech Support Walkthrough" LTT video and the information there is really helpful. I checked the temps, I've been told they're fine (Entire CPU at 43º minimum; 78º maximum; 47º average).
About the drivers, I've checked everything in Device Manager for driver updates and it said I had the best ones installed, after doing Windows Update and everything.
Managed to find a kernelpower error on Event Viewer, so I searched what that meant and returned power options to balanced (recommended), as well as turned "Turn off hard drive after" to 0 and "Sleep after" to 0 as well.
Going to sleep now but tomorrow I'll try to use the PC as normal to see if anything changed and will keep this posted

Update on the matter: Kinda got the PC as it was before I all started  going sideways, played some games both whilst being in a Discord call and not and it went totally fine! No crashes, freezes, no major warnings in Event Viewer. Getting some drivers installed from Intel Driver and Support Assistant.
Btw, is it a good idea to either uninstall or deactivate OneDrive?
