Windows 10: PC Randomly Freezes since Windows 10 Update

I updated my PC to Windows 10 from 8.1 in January. Since doing so my PC will randomly freeze completely, resulting in a hard reset.I'm nervous these hard resets will result in data corruption. I've never experienced this before with this particular PC. I've updated ALL drivers like recommended. I've also tried uninstalling recent updates with still no luck. Is there ANY way to go back to Windows 8.1? I installed windows 8 originally on this PC after building it, but no longer have that USB. I'd rather not do a factory reset, but will if necessary.

I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin

I had tried that as well... no result.

Furthermore, we suggest that you do a BIOS update to your computer. Here are the steps:
