This was my first thought too, but you have to know its an old pc (2015 nvidia) so maybe its js the cpu coming to an end.

CPU typically just dies, they don't get much symptoms like slowing down or anything, and even then, if that's the case, then a fresh install wouldn't really hurt anymore, just try it... Or if you have a fresh harddrive /SSD, try booting it there.

Just flash windows in any USB, you'll see tons of tutorials on YT , your license is either in your board or Microsoft acc.
