Wish to solve it before going down as not near sls and need to take cab as desktop is very heavy.

If you are unable to run memtest86, remove 1pc of ram and boot to monitor for stability. Swap your ram if freezes.

ran memtest86 no problem, but still hang sometime. SSD or motherboard or driver problem?

But my com will sometime hang after loading to desktop. Afraid that after bringing down but no hang occured. Is there any logfile that can see what fail?

Go to system event to view the log files.

if the freezes are always after windows boot up, maybe can try a fresh installation of windows?

Check the temp of cpu on bios. If temp varies too fast, need reapply new thermal paste. Use a eraser to rub over the ram and graphic card copper fins. Reinsert back all and check.
