I want to preface this by saying that for the past year or two I have been experiencing system freezes (Screen locks up, nothing moves including the mouse), but since I still have not found any solutions to that issue, I sort of gave up on it.

Ever since updating windows to the recent update (Anniversary update i believe?) I have been experiencing a plethora of issues. I am currently experiencing random BSOD errors, such as "Critical Process Died", "System Thread Exception Not Handled", and several other BSODs that I cannot find the error for because the computer immediately restarts after the crash. These crashes generally occur after some sort of stall in the system, whether it be from me trying to open the start menu or access task manager. The crashes also seem to occur when loading a game. Much of the time, before the crash occurs, i get error messages such as:

The instruction at 0x00007FFE90EBE429 referenced memory at 0x00007FFE8B875110. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc000000e.
-Click on OK to terminate the program.

Exception processing message 0xc0000006 Parameters 0x7ffe3d2f1d28
0x7ffe4d2f1d28 0x7ffe3d2f1d28 0x7ffe3d2f1d28

Another issue that seems to occur after several restarts is
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key

I remedy the above issue by simply restarting the PC via a hard reboot, and it works once more, although when logging into my user account the pc experiences a very "clunky/sluggish" loading process.

I have ran a chkdsk, and a sfc /scannow and there didnt seem to be any issues, though im not a computer expert 😛.

Drivers in device manager do not seem to be out of date (No warnings next to any of them)

Freezing isn't windows, windows throws BSOD at you, not just errors in event viewer.

Event 41 is the result of a report windows 10 runs every start up to see if it was shut down right the previous time. If it finds it wasn't it creates an event 41. windows doesn't know why it crashed, therefore it wasn't to blame. If it BSOD, then it will have memory dumps that tell us why

Run http://www.memtest86.com/ on ram, freezes are normally ram or PSU. What type of hdd do you have?

do you have the latest BIOS?
download and run who crashed: http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it will give us a look at errors and may help solve trhem

Copy/paste results in here.

Another issue that seems to occur after several restarts is
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key

Might be fixed running start up repair
go to settings/update & security/recovery/Advanced start up - restart PC << this is a button on page
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info

another thing that might help that is http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-master-boot-record-mbr-windows which also uses same blue menu system as above solution. Its a very handy menu system.


 
Alright so i have found a fix to the bluescreening issue (or so it seems), it was occuring either because:
A: My surge protector was failing and I replaced it
or
B: I switched my power plan from "Balanced" to "High performance".

I am still having issues with freezing up, however.

Every time a freeze occurs i get these three errors in event log:

Source EventID Category (top occurs first, followed by those below)
EventLog 6008 none
Kernel-Power 41 (63)
Eventlog 1101 Event Processing

when i get freezes, it is permanent unless I hard-reboot (hold down the power button)
