Come back from vacation, re plug in all of my stuff to the wall and Windows does an update as well as my GeForce Experience to 3.0 and my driver as well. Recently installed Windows 10 on a 240GB PNY SSD because my Evo's power connector got damaged and was having no issues prior to vacation. My specs are:

PNY 240GB SSD
Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
AMD 8320 3.5GHZ
16GB G.Skill Ripjaws
750W Supply
NVIDIA GTX 1070

I contacted Windows Support and they had me do a fresh install of Windows 10 retaining my old files but it did nothing. I had temporary relief for a half hour of gameplay before it froze up again. I had uninstalled the NVIDIA HD Audio driver as my Realtek HD was my primary one. I also uninstalled the GeForce Experience. I uninstalled my old graphics display driver and reinstalled and updated. I have run a memory diagnostics tool and it came up fine. I ran a SFC and it came up fine. I ran a chkdsk with repairs and everything was fine. Malware scan came up fine. Virus scan came up fine. Out of ideas for possible solutions.
 
Solution
What model is the RAM? Did you configure any settings? Do you have the latest BIOS?

Test one module at a time to see if one performs differently than the other. The initial slot should be the second away from the CPU.

Let us know how it goes
