Windows 10 occasionally fails to boot?

Giganthrax

So this is what happens sometimes:

 

I power up the computer. I pass the Windows loading screen, then I get to the ASUS logo that has the little loading circle under it (this appears before Win10 appears). This loading circle freezes up and Windows doesn't boot. At this point, I have to use the restart button, and Windows boots normally.

 

This has happened to me twice in the last 2 weeks or so.

 

I have:

Ryzen 1600x overclocked to 4.0ghz (stable overclock)

X370 Pro

16 gigs of 3200mhz memory working at 2933mhz (only DOCP settings that worked as I suck at overclocking)

860 Samsung EVO

Seasonic MII12 620W

GTX 1070 8gb

 

Malwarebytes and Win10 Defender detect no nasties. The system is perfectly stable and works fine aside from this occasional Win10 boot freeze.

 

I intend to buy a bigger SSD and switch the old SSD to my laptop next month, so that'll be a clean Windows 10 installation right there, but I wonder if there's something else I should check out? Would running memtest86 overnight point out if it was a RAM problem?

Ryzen 1600x @4GHz

Asus GTX 1070 8GB @1900MHz

16 GB HyperX DDR4 @3000MHz

Asus Prime X370 Pro

Samsung 860 EVO 500GB

Noctua NH-U14S

Seasonic M12II 620W

+ four different mechanical drives.
