So I built this new gaming computer for my sister and it freezes constantly and at random times UNLESS we open Elder Scrolls Online and leave it running in the background...
Windows 10 PRO - SSD Samsung 250GB
AMD 6200 - 4.1GHZ
ASUS CROSSHAIR FORMULA-Z
AMD RADEON R9 200 Series
32GB RAM
750 WATT PSU
All new parts from newegg

It usually freezes right after logging on from power up, sometimes at the log on screen. So the moment we're able to log on, we open Elder Scrolls Online ASAP.

Steps I've already taken:

sfc /scannow
chkdsk /r
windows updates
boot into safe mode
changed ahci to ide
replaced sata cables on SSD and changed port on motherboard
pulled CMOS battery
removed RAM
refreshed windows 10

None of those things worked and I've done more but can't think of it right now. Normally I'm pretty savvy with PC's but this has me stumped. I'm assuming Windows 10 is just a jerk. I guess Elder Scrolls Online will just have to remain open in the background all the time...

Yes my cpu is overclocked, I had brought it down for a while but it still froze.
Yes, it basically freezes while idle - Small tasks aren't enough to keep it from freezing

I'll give driver booster a go and see where that leads as well as my graphics driver

No luck so far - I've brought down my cpu ghz so it is no longer overclocked - I used driver booster and it updated 3 things - Also used Advanced System Care for a scan and clean up. I even ran Prime95 for a stress test and watched my core temp with Speccy - Never went above 42c and all tests passed.
My CPU is currently running at 3.8ghz

I'm at a complete loss...
