Curious issue. PSU checks out on other machines. Vid Card checks out on other machines. When I first try to boot my PC in the mornings after a period of hours since it was turned off, the thing will not complete post. IT gets to the searching for HD and sits on a blank screen. If I power it off then right back on, it finds it and boots no problems. I am using the newer bios FW with support for NVME/PCIE hard drive booting. AND it has been a perfectly acceptable machine until 3 weeks ago when this started. No hardware changes before or since. AND as of last night I experience seemingly random critical failures according to the Event Viewer that are never the same thing twice. Once it was something about a critical failure in kernel another time it was a critical failure in the "cloud token something or another..."

I am curious what this could be. The NVME is only 2 years and some change old...and surely it is not a dying drive.
I am going to do a clean up on the machine today, and scan for and fix any anomalies. I am just curious if anyone else out there in the internet at large has encountered a similar problem?!

Thanks in advance.
 
Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 running i5-3570K @3.40GHz
32GB Ram 4x8Gb *Patriot ViperIII brand/non LED and non ecc
Vid - Gigabyte(sorry told you incorrectly in initial post) Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Gaming
NVME 500GB is crucial brand, adapter is generic(no name on it).
PSU is EVGA 750GA(non LED)
Other than that the only odd ball thing I have connected is a Linksys USB powered 3.0 Hub. and my wireless kb/m combo.
