I have already, posted this before but no one was answering, so I am reposting to see if anyone has answers.
So I know the title is vague but that is what's happening. I would be playing League which is not a hard game to run at all, and the game hasn't even started yet and the PC just suddenly freezes out of no where. Background music stops, I cannot move my cursor, I cannot do anything at all other than restart my computer by clicking the reset button on my case. Another case would be I wouldn't be doing anything at all other than listening to Spotify with Steam, League and Teamspeak open, and then the computer freezes. But the last time that this happened, after a few seconds, there was a blue screen that showed "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR". These blue screens and/or freezes come and go. It would happen once then would happen again 1 or 2 months later again. I do not know if this is a hardware or software issue. Also, I prefer not to do anything drastic, because the last time I tried fixing this I couldn't boot back to windows.

My Build:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 - V LK
CPU: Intel-i7 3770K
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660
Power Supply: Corsair GS600
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

This has been happening for a year now. I would supposedly fix it then a month or two or even a few weeks later the problem comes back. It only happens like once every once a month or so but it makes me cringe to know that its not fixed. Or that I do not kknow the cause of the problem

Wouldnt that be a last resort? I hear its worst to update the BIOS than good. Also, if I happen to screw up updating the BIOS, and the motherboard is useless, can I just replace the motherboard, and everything is all good? I know its a dumb question but I just want to make sure. Thanks

ASUS are easier to fix than most. You can use crashfree BIOS

How can you screw it up? All you have to do is download it / extract it put it on a flash drive.

Boot into the BIOS select ez-flash select the update / flash it. It's over in less than 30 secs

It may also fix that stop error. Since that can be CPU related

Another thing I did was use IntelBurnTest for my CPU for Standard to very high levels. It passed each one with 10 passes each. I dont know if that means anything
