Hi jake, I have tried various ways of solving the issue. Firstly was to go to event log and windows reliability monitor in windows 10, then find out which errors occurred at the time of the crash. For my case, event ID 56 seemed to be causing the problem.. At least that was what I thought. I tried solving these errors individually but eventually they just came back. What I know about the crashes so far is that it is strongly related to the instability of Windows 10. So I have reformatted my harddisks and reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 8.1, the problem became less of an issue but when it did occur, I was able to ctrl + alt + dlt and end the task. Then, after changing the power options of the PCIe power moderation (not sure what it's called but it has PCIe in it) to off, my rig has been running fine for the next 2 days. Haven't had time to test my system for longer as I am in army camp now. Haha. Hope this post helps you! Update: Nope.. my computer froze in windows 8.1 while playing borderlands 2 after about an hour. starting to suspect faulty ram.

I had windows 8.1 but upgraded to Windows 10 a day after installing the OS

No, everythings running at stock setting

It just freezes, my specs are as follows: Intel i5-6600k Asuz170-A Cooler master Hyper D92 MSI GTX 960 250GB Samsung EVO 850 SSD 2TB WD black harddrive 650W seasonic G-series 8gb corsair vengeance DDR4 2400mhz ram Windows 10 The screen just freezes and whatever background sound just plays like it's rapidly repeating the moment it crashed. No blue screen but I am unable to shut down the pc from the power button so I have to always do a cold restart from the main power

Hi guys, I build my first pc 2 months back and its been crashing a few times (mostly when gaming) and I can't even do a force restart, or open task manager to close crashed applications, causing me to do a hard restart/cold restart.. This is really bad for my pc and I hope someone will be able to help The issue from windows event log showed that event ID 56 had some connection to the crashes, is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance!
