Have you checked the filesystem for corruption/inconsistency in Windows
and with ntfsck?

Yes, I have checked for file corruption and bad sectors a few days ago, and just a few moments ago, just to make sure. After a little while, already using Linux, the system was beginning to freeze, so I have unmounted that same partition, and things got back to normal - that's how I am able to write this.

Thanks
