Hi, I'm using Windows 10. My computer often freezes with BSOD, green screen issues, or crashes during CPU overclocking tests in AIDA64. The power button won't shut it down and Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn't work either. What should I do then? Should I force shut it by pressing the power button longer? Is this safe for my PC?

the information on hard drives might become damaged, which would affect the software, not the physical components

besides that, you won't be able to restart. The freezing might damage your PC if it occurs frequently. The automatic shutdown isn't too severe.
