Random Sound Loop Crash

Ill start off by listing my system specs and the troubleshooting I have already attempted.

Current build: Asus Sabertooth Z170 with an Intel I7 6700 (nonk), GTX980Ti Strix from Asus, Corsair 760T, Corsair H100iGTX cooler, corsair AX860 power supply, 32GB of Crucial B. a samsung 250gb SSD boot drive and a PNY 480gb SSD storage drive. No wifi or sound cards, I do have an LG diskdrive and a total of 9 Fans in the system all of them corsair also. (stuck with two brands to have less issues with major hardware)

SO...now the issue... At first I thought it could be just windows 10 and driver issues, but id be playing fallout or anygame for about 30 minutes and it would crash hard (soundloop) and I would have to hard reboot the system. The hard part is I never got BSOD and when I checked event viewer it shows no faults other then me improperly shutting it down. So I reinstalled windows and ran MEMTEST86 on my ram to make sure I didnt have a bad stick of ram. After running for a while I saw no faults. The power supply was replaced after i made the mistake of buying a lousy CX corsair 750 (couldnt take the coilwine) so i switched it out with a new power supply (AX860). I actually wasnt having many problems, then Nvidia released some bad drivers and boom had it again, a day later i did a driver wipe and Nvidia had the next day "FIXED" drivers which seemed to be stable, But windows 10 locks up so much so I wiped the computer again, and went back to 8.1 PRO.

I had no issues at all for weeks, but I wasnt heavily gaming for a long time, I did about an hour in Crysis with no crash and played GTAv and fallout 4 for 30-40 minute intervals.

Two nights ago I tried RYSE Son of Rome (5 bucks on steam) and it crashed after a half hour (sound loop and frozen screen) so i did some driver updates and also updated my bios.

last night i got a 0x0139 BSOD (the first BSOD) playing Farcry 4 for 30 minutes

I ran GTAV for an hour and had no issues

I am lost on what to do any ideas? I have no overheating and all temps are good
