I just installed MX Linux alongside Windows 10, however, it is getting freezed randomly like 3 mins post every log in. The only way out rn is to long press the power button to shutdown. Plz help.

It seems that this worked so far:

Open the /etc/default/grub file in your text editor, as root.

Add "intel_idle.max_cstate=1" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line.

EXAMPLE:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=1"
(You might have "quiet splash" in there also - if you want it. I don't.)

Save the file. Exit the editor. Update Grub:
sudo update-grub
