I should have asked before, but you haven't overclocked or anything? If so, that's the 1st thing you should do, is reset the BIOS to defaults.
I have overclocked the processor and, depending on how you look at, the RAM. I had the processor up to 4.7 - which is somewhat tame for this processor compared with what I’ve read - for weeks prior to the freezing. The RAM is rated at 3000 but reads less, so I overclocked it to its rating at the same time (the ASUS MB has kind of an auto-OC that I chose and used because it also auto-clocks voltage, which I didnt want to deal with) The processor never went above 61 C during stress testing. I never overclocked the GFX because it has fairly poor cooling since it is a reference card.
I kept the overclock going until a few days ago when I really seriously tried to troubleshoot the freezing issue, and then I reset the BIOS. It didn’t seem to help anything.
