I've been dealing with random hard freezes with Windows 10 Pro 64 bit builds since 8.5.2016. I don't have this issue with Windows 7 Pro 64bit and I'm using identical hardware. Virtually nothing has changed hardware wise between Windows 7 and Windows 10. This is a custom built workstation PC for my home. I stopped using Windows 10 and went back to Windows 7 because of these random freezes. But now with Windows 7 support ending I am forced to try to solve it.
The freezes happen completely randomly, sometimes when I'm just resizing a file explorer window, other times when I'm doing more intense work. The computer always freezes up 100% and I'm not able to move the mouse or do anything. The screen just pauses with everything still visible but I"m not able to interact with it. I've tried leaving it alone for hours to see if Windows will come out of it or give a blue screen, but that never happens. I have to hold down the power button to reset it. When the freeze does happen my audio seems to freak out and just start stuttering until I reboot. Other than that it's a regular good ol' fashioned freeze.
99% of the time I just get a hard freeze but every one in awhile I will get a freeze and then a blue screen. The two error codes I've seen from this are MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION and CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. But I never saw any blue screens or freezes with windows 7.
Sometimes I can go days without any crash doing the same exact things that made it crash previously, other times it will crash multiple times a day. Hence why it's "random".

- I've tried just about everything I can find online on how to fix this. I've tried about a dozen different Windows 10 builds over the years, every time it's a clean install. None of them have helped this issue.
- I have updated my drivers and BIOS and firmware.
- I have all the latest Windows updates, but I've also tried not getting any windows updates after a clean install.
- I've tried removing all extra hardware components.
- I've tried using different video cards and SSD's. same issue.
- I've tried turning off power saving features both in Windows and in the BIOS
- I've ran 'sfc /scannow', 'chkdsk /f /r', 'memcheck', and all scans always come back normal and fine.
- I've tried "netsh winsock reset".
- I've tried deleting files in the temp folder.
- I've tried turning off Windows automatically managing the page file size.
- I've tried turning off background apps and all apps that run at startup that aren't needed.
