My computer build is:
MSI Mobo Z370 Carbon AC Gaming
GeForce 1080
32G Gskill DDR Trident
i7-8700k
Win 10 64b
EVO 212 Cooling
750 Corsair Gold+
Thermaltake Core p5
Toshiba 256 SSD (OS)
Samsung 128 SSD (storage)
3TB HDD (Storage)

I recently built this PC within the last few weeks and am experiencing several issues.
1. Freezing, shortly after startup the PC will freeze and I have to restart via tower button.
2. Hearing constant pausing in the sound ( I did disable the integrated audio on the mobo)
3. Restarts 3-4 times before the system becomes stable.

4. Gaming such as world of warcraft will cause the computer to restart doing simple things like entering loading screens.

5. At one point a restart indicated the display drivers are corrupt.

Actions:
-reinstalled windows and confirmed all drivers were correct
-checked for any bent pins on the cpu
- monitored the cpu temp to be sure it wasnt shutting down due to over heating
-performed a ram test to be sure the new ram was not faulty.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response. I flashed the BIOS and everything seems to be ok, however I steal hear a small bit of studdering on sound. I have not yet disconnected and am testing to see how long it takes. I will update the thread tomorrow after I monitor performance.

Windows is installed on the SSD. The crashes do happen when I load something. Sometimes it won't bsod but the cursor will freeze wherever it is and I have to force a restart. The bios update didn't resolve.
