[SOLVED] My Debian installation keeps freezing after boot

So I have been using debian for a little bit and I love it. But for some reason, about 5 minutes after rebooting my computer, it completely freezes up. It doesn't matter what I'm doing on it. It still freezes even if I don't open anything. Here is a picture of my system usage. Tell me if you need more information!

It might help to know more about the make/model and specs of the computer.

Have you tried looking at the log files? If it's a hard freeze, whatever caused it might not have made it into the logs, but it's worth a shot. If the freezing keeps you from taking a good look a the logs, you could boot to a live CD/USB of something and use it to examine the logs.

I fixed the issue. There was some weird file I had extracted when trying to mod a game called BeamNG drive, and deleting that fixed the issue.
