Windows 10 Boot loop

So I built my dad a new desktop, and this problem occurred for the second time:

  • Computer will randomly freeze in the middle of doing something, necessitating a hard reset
  • After the reset, Windows 10 will not boot - will stay stuck on the booting screen with the looping circle icon

The previous time this happened, I did a fresh reinstall of windows and it worked for about a month before happening again.

Computer is a fanless Thin-Mini ITX using a i3-4130T, Asus H81T motherboard, 12GB of RAM (8+4, don't remember make), a Crucial MX200 mSATA drive (which is where Windows is installed) and a 320GB HDD.

Any help on troubleshooting? I'm going to try doing a memtest (unlikely, since I changed out the RAM since the last time this happened) and a sfc /scannow from the Windows 10 recovery disk but I already tried that last time to no avail, so not optimistic about those working.
