Question Multiple Freezing Issues after sitting and being moved

[Iltpgs]

Hello! New to Tom's as a poster. I've got a system I built the while back. Specs as follows

msi asrock x99e-itx
Gtx 980 ti
Intel 5820k
Crucial 8gb basic sticks x2
Samsung 1tb ssd
Wd black 3tb

Long story short built it a couple years ago.
Moved alot so it sat for a while about 2 years and finally decided to get back into gaming. Found the few missing pieces and put it back together. Booted it up today kept freezing right after posting on the windows loading screen. Had it blue screen on me a couple times. Irql not less or equal, machine check exception. Figured worst case something was shorted, scrolled through a couple posts and saw one about disabling c6. Disabled cStates in the BIOS and now will boot into windows. First time it did stopped Midway and blue screened a clock watchdog timeout. Restarted and went to log in screen. After trying to remember my password for a while lol I got it and after about 15 seconds no matter what it was on freezes up completely but doesn't shut off or restart. Started in safe mode and it lets me act as normal, disabled a couple programs on startup, restarted and does the same thing. That's where I'm at now, any ideas? Next idea is to run a repair on the disk from a different computer and start testing hardware individually. Any help is appreciated!

Did you try the one stick or RAM at a time idea?

Yes I did also ran memtest86 perfect bill of health

While we still can't rule out memory being the issue, the OP was getting the srttrail.txt error which means files are being corrupted on the drive. It's possible to repair the files, but doing so may only be a temporary fix if some part of the data connection to the drive is at fault. The old drive and the new drive both have the same basic issue, which is why I've suggested there is a problem with the SATA controller, SATA ports or the SATA cables being used. The only real way to test the ports and cables is to swap them for different ones, but the OP likely doesn't have any spare cables on hand. Using the USB drive to run Linux was my way to test if any part of the SATA is at fault assuming USB still functions.

Only thing I don't understand is how swapping the drive to an old windows 7 one from an old computer using same cables ports power ran fine

When you talked about using another drive with Windows 7 on it you made it sound like you were having issues with it.

I got in and other than os stability issues, windows have faults and then force close and restart, the system has not frozen on me at all for like 30 minutes.

Other than the not freezing for 30 minutes, it read like you were still having issues. I still think you have some kind of problem with SATA though. It could have just been a loose power or data cable when you tried the SSD. Maybe the Windows 10 installation disc or USB drive was corrupted and it's just a simple matter of burning to a new DVD or using a new USB drive.

I was having issues with that installation of the os, I think it was a license transferred to another drive, and stability. But not any of the consistent freezing problems I had with both ssds and windows 10. Also that was one of the first things I tried was recreating the install media. Didn't try another USB though. There are some other things ive read about windows 10 period I'll try.
