Hi, my customized Skylake build seems to freeze randomly(With no BSOD or any other error messages) only when playing games (CSGO / FFXIV / Blade & Soul). Sometimes it freezes within 5mins, sometimes i can play for 1 day without any freezing.
*Does not freeze when i do any other activities(Surfing the net / leaving the computer overnight) beside playing games.

Spec:
Processor: Intel i7-6700
Motherboard: Asus H170 Pro Gaming
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2400MHz 4GBx2
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Armor 4GB
PSU: Corsair CX Series 750W PSU
SSD: Samsung 950 Evo 250GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
OS: Windows 8.1 x64 / Windows 10 x64

Drivers and Bios are all updated.

Overheating is not a problem, temperatures remains at an average of 50-55 degree Celsius.

Some tweaks i made from googling / reading forums about these issues:
-Up-ed DRam voltage from 1.2V to 1.25V
-Disabled C-state
-Switched from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1

None of the above seem to help, the freezes still occurs. Please help :(

Update: I have reverted back the settings of the tweaks i made since it does not help.

I have changed my CPU Voltage from 1.088v to 1.2v. and CPU SA voltage from 1v to 1.1v. And hence stopped the freezing for 2 days for now. Any insight on this?

I have the same Issue:

I7 6700K
ASUS ROG VIII MAXIMUS RANGER
2x 8GB DDR4 HyperX fury mem
WIN 10 64bit
two GTX 570SLI
EVGA 850 supernova PSU
SSD for WIN and HDD for games

latest UEFI v1402
latest drivers.

I felt like this mostly happens when system came back from a hibernating state or sleep condition. In this case the ASUS board shows the Code 30 instead of A0

Any Ideas? Im thinking the skylake bug could be more serious?

I have the same issues but only if a video card is attached. And it freezes even if I'm not playing games. It just randomly freezes.

My specs are:
Processor: Intel i5-6600
Motherboard: Asus H170 Pro Gaming
RAM: Hyper X Fury 2400MHz 8GB
GPU: tried Zotac GTX 970, Zotac GTX 970 Amp Extreme, and my old GT 9500
PSU: Seasonic 660W Platinum
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 120GB
HDD: WD 1TB, and 2 other old HDs
OS: Windows 10 x64

The last thing that I did that didn't give me a freeze for around 2 months now is I changed the RAM frequency from Auto to 2133. And up it's voltage to 1.35 (or before it turned to another color).

This worked for me. I hope it works for you guys too.

7.27.16 update: My system has not frozen yet ever since.

8.13.16 update: I think my driver got updated automatically by Windows update yesterday according to the details in device manager. My PC froze once again.
