Windows 10: System Freezes While Under Load

(This isn't a BSOD situation, but I can't find a forum section for system freezes)

I have an i7-5820K overclocked to 4.2GHz as well as two GTX 980s in SLI. Occasionally while gaming, the system will lock up and will not respond until I shut down the computer either by turning off the power supply or holding the power button. I asked around about this issue, and some suggested that I turn up the CPU voltage. My overclock was stable throughout an IntelBurnTest session, but I decided I'd give it a try anyway. I started at 1.15v and every time the computer froze I restarted it and turned the voltage up a little. I'm now at 1.19v.

Is this a CPU voltage issue? I know there is not a lot of information to work with, but I'm not sure what other information to give. No components get too hot (CPU doesn't really go over 75°C when under extreme load and GPUs top out at the hard-coded max safe temp of 80°C), so I wouldn't think overheating is an issue. This issue also occurred when I only had one 980.

If the system locks up again, I'll turn off the overclock and see what happens. If it still locks up, I'll move some GPUs around.

Computer Freezes on Start-up

My computer freezes on start-up and will not open. All this occurred after doing an update to the Windows 10 OS. The computer freezes while it is updating. If I restart the computer with the power button, it will again freeze while doing the update. I'm
stuck in a loop where I am unable to get into the operating system at all. The only place on the computer that I have access to is the Bios Setup Utility. From there, I have loaded the "Load Default Settings" and "Save & Exit Setup", but again the computer
freezes while it is doing the update. The screen reads "Getting Windows ready Don't turn off your computer".

 

XBOX One - Rise of the Tomb Raider (Downloaded)

My saved game won't open. While loading it freezes and crashes. Tried rebooting the system, but nothing works. Is this happening to others? Fixes? I'm pissed because I'm several hours into the game.
