Random System Hangs

[xGRAVEKILLERx]

Hello All,

 

I seem to be having a hard to narrow down issue that I can't seem to identify a cause or identify if it is a problem others have. At a seeming random interval my system will "lock up", this isn't a BSOD or a total freeze however it is very close. It seems to not be tied to a system state or load, I have had it happen while in games, on desktop, under stress tests and also seems to happen while in sleep as well. When this happens (Most noted in game but not limited to) the game will freeze, all audio is lost (USB Headset), any video stream (Youtube, Floatplane, etc.) on my second display will continue to play until I assume the buffer empties. After it has happened I can briefly interact with some programs, If i am in game I can not interact at all, the video in the other display I can pause but no other interactions, opening task manger works, however none of the panels actually load, Alt tabing seems to be hit or miss. I have attempted to lock or sign out to see if that will recover it and it will start the process but will end in the infinite loading loop. I believe that this began happening around the time I migrated to windows 11 and thought it may be related to a drive that died during that swap (Unsure if was windows related or just bad RNG) however after the drive was removed the issues still persists.

 

Things I have tried:

Updated Drivers: Chipset, lan, audio, gpu, bluetooth, raid

Updated Windows (upto date on all fronts aside from 24h2)

Updated Disk drive Firmware

Updated Bios

Reseat of drives

Full system stress test (furmark + CPU Burner) with HWinfo logging. Temps did get high in some places but not what I would consider alarming

Examined Event logs with no errors that are not related to the system unexpected shutdown (Last hour with 2 of these lockups: 2 crit, 9 error)

 

I have done everything I can think of, so I hope maybe someone can help me find what is causing this. Will post specs below.
