BSOD on "cold" boot - stable afterwards - Long-term issue
Hello everyone, I'm at my wit's end at the moment.
Recently had to replace motherboard, RAM and CPU in my computer. Purchased an ASUS Maximus VIII GENE Z170 board, an i5-6600k and initially 16GB of DDR4, now 32.
When I boot my computer after having it off overnight, I can get to the login screen, sometimes beyond before it hangs and gives me a BSOD. After the machine reboots, it's stable for as long as I leave it on. I've stressed the system, played games, done everything to try and get another BSOD after the machine is "warmed up" with nothing. I've run Prime95 for 4 hours and completed 2 whole memtests on both the 16 and 32GBs of RAM. I've swapped the RAM, and even replaced the motherboard with an exchanged unit (so everything has been pulled and re-seated at least once).
Sometimes it seems to boot fine and it stays stable. Restarting the machine without a BSOD does not produce a BSOD, the system is fine. There are no OCs on the GPU, CPU or RAM.
Really puzzled and hoping for some help!
