When the computer freezes, do you get BSOD or just lose ability to input from keyboard and mouse?
 
I'm thinking this is a driver issue, likely USB or video driver.

If I were you I would disconnect all but the most essential USB devices such as mouse and keyboard. And I would make sure nothing is using a USB 3.0 port for the time being.

I would also temporarily pull your video card and use the onboard video.

See if these measures eliminate the problem.
 
So i've installed all of the drivers,

Stress tested graphics and processor.

Temps stable, all that.

After all this, IT FREEZES AGAIN.

I don't know where to go from here.

I'm stumped... I would secure ATA erase the SSD, clear the CMOS and enter defaults when prompted then reboot before making any additional BIOS changes afterwards...
 
edit: check your windows logs, that will be our best help. It's pretty good about recording errors, even if you arent getting a BSOD. Post your findings here.


.... still a thing. Event viewer may not give you an answer, but it should help you narrow things down.
