    Multiple Random System Lock-Ups requiring Hard-Reset


    Hello,

    I'm new to the forums so thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help me try and resolve my issues.

    I recently built the PC I am currently experiencing this issue on. I have built several gaming PC's in the past, but never have I experienced any consistent issues such as this.

    The PC Speccs are as follows:

    CPU- AMD FX-9590 Vishera 8-Core 4.7GHz     Cooled with a: CORSAIR Hydro Series H75 Liquid CPU Cooler 120mm
    MOBO- ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+
    GPU- 2x EVGA GeForce GTX 970s in SLi (4GB GDDR5)
    Power Supply- COOLMAX CUG-950B 950W ATX12V v2.3 EPS12V v2.91 SLi Certified
    RAM- 16GB HyperX DDR3 SDRAM
    HD(s)-1x Western Digital 1TB 32MB Cache, 1x Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache
    OS- Windows 10

    I built the PC in mid February of this year, 2015. This particular issue started happening consistently (daily basis) in June. While gaming, my PC will all of a sudden, at random, lock up completely. I try Alt+f4, Ctrl+Alt+Del, and Alt+Tab, but nothing responds. The PC just stays like this until I'm forced to do a hard-reset at the tower.

    I've tried just about everything I can think of to resolve this problem. I thought since it only happens when I game that perhaps it's a cooling issue and my system is overheating. However, I've ran a slew of programs to monitor heat and none show anything abnormal.
    Many articles suggested malware or spyware might be causing the lock-ups. So I've chosen to clean my system daily but the issue still persists.
    At one point I was able to eliminate the problem completely for nearly 3 weeks by changing my power settings from 'Power-Saver' to 'High-Performance'. Unfortunately, the issue came back. Asus Suite II regularly reports power fluctuations which leads me to believe it might possibly be a failing Power-Supply but I'm just not sure.

    Windows Event Viewer lists a myriad of different application and system errors each time it happens. Recently however, it is always showing errors from Microsoft.Windows.Store, DistributedCOM, and Service Control Manager, all coinciding with the exact time the system locks up and becomes unresponsive.
    It's worth noting that this system started out running Windows 7 Home Premium and just recently upgraded to Windows 10. The problem existed regardless of OS.

    I appreciate any and all ideas and help with this. I'm at a complete loss, this problem happens multiple times a day and is incredibly frustrating.

    :)

    Taskbar size in Windows10

    I do 'Lock' the TaskBar to no avail. Have been since I have owned the machine.

    To reset the computer I 'right click' on TaskBar, 'unlock' and make the change to TaskBar size, and then 'right click' on TaskBar and then click on 'Lock the Taskbar. The windoze 10 system continues to reset the size of the TaskBar at will at random times.

    It's driving me up the wall.
