Windows 10: System Lock Ups

Been trying to troubleshoot this for a while now.

Occasional system lock ups, happens mostly when gaming, but has also happened while web browsing. Complete freeze, have to hard reset (no alt-f4, no task manager,etc).



Things I have tried:

Have run multiple memtest86+ (and passmark version as of today) for hours with all passes.

Clean windows install

Bluescreenviewer is a bit ambiguous. Don't get a dump most of the time.

Removing Overclock

Safe mode DDU + Nvidia GPU driver re-install

New SATA cables

Adjusting Ram VCCIO/VCCSA (Some asrock users reported issues)

Have manually updated every single driver in all of the lists.

Disk cleanup

Drive health check

Adjusting power options like PCIE/Hard drive

Disabling C-states

Contacted ASrock, they simple said to RMA, offered no advice.


Whole system is ~6months old (everything bought new)
I7-7700K (delid LM, 2x240mm rads)
Asrock Extreme4 z270 (Most recent bios)
G.skill Ripjaws V 3000 16gb CL15
2x Samsung 850 Evo SSD (have used separate windows installs with both hard drives)

Seasonic plus 750W modular
Gtx1070 (also happened with gtx1060) Both were new.
