So I'm gonna start using normal sleep mode settings and see what happens, but I have a high confidence that disabling the C-State's is was fixed it. Been running for over 12 hours now without issue.
Having read I think all the threads online, it may be time document this. As you can see from my posts, I've been hammering this issue pretty much 24/7 for a couple of weeks. There are SEVERAL things that CAN cause windows 10 to misbehave, but they are easy to rule out.
- Check temps and fan speeds (make sure nothing is overheating re: hwinfo)
- Check the Event Log and Event History (look for causes of the freeze, likely won't find any, but look)
- Run task manager open on the performance tab and open the resource monitor. (Sort to items in the Resource Monitor by the CPU column to you can see what was running when the system freezes.)
- Run MemCheck (just to make sure, especially if you are building a new machine the foundation is solid)
- Drivers being correct and up-to-date. (yeah we probably all did that first)
- Running the sfc scan (just to make sure none of the freezes corrupted or damaged anything)
- Running CheckDSK scan (to ensure non of the freezes corrupted or damaged any files.)
- Set the PSIe Link Mode to off if applicable (might need/want it on laptop, not much use on a desktop).
- UNpark the CPU's (again, might not want to on Laptop, but might help with troubleshooting)
- Disable C-States.. (short version, disables the ability of the PC to underClock itself.) This was the winner for me.
