I'd just like to mention that I have looked around here and on many other websites for a way to solve this and nothing has worked yet. It worked for a month to turn off the "automatically go to sleep" thing for hard drives but now the error has begun to happen a lot.

PC Specs:
-2 Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600
-MSI GeForce GTX 1080 DirectX 12 GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G 8GB
-i7-4790k (Not overclocked)
-ASUS Z97-AR
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
-1 Intel SSD (Can't remember which one but it is 240GB)
-1 1TB WD Blue HDD
-EVGA Supernova G2 650 Watt PSU

-Running Windows 10 Home

First thing I would do is update all of your drivers. If that doesn't help test your memory by following these steps http://www.howto-connect.com/windows-10-detect-ram-issues-with-windows-memory-diagnostic-tool/. It's pretty tough to narrow down the cause of random no repeatable crashes. The reason you were told to run the previous tests were to rule out temperature and PSU issues as those put a lot of stress on your system.

Well, the times it crashes is really random. It has shutdown on me when I'm doing things like watching YouTube and nothing major running in the background and other times it will shutdown when I'm actually playing games. It will even occasionally shutdown, restart, and then shutdown immediately after loading the Windows login page. I'm just wondering if there are ways I can single out on a cause of the restarting. I tried running both prime95 and furmark as suggested in a different post but no crash resulted.

Well, I ran the test and got a fail on both memory sticks :/ I assume that means that the sticks are faulty or something along those lines. Is there anything I can do to fix them or is it a get new RAM type of thing?

I built it fall of last year so it is over a year old. There is a nice store I can run to tomorrow though so I was planning on heading over there.

Okay now this is strange: I took out ONE stick of RAM, put it back in the same slot, rand the memory diagnostics thing again, and both came back as having no errors. Is this still likely the RAM or something else?
