• I have not installed any new hardware or made any significant changes to any of the settings.

Troubleshooting:

• I have run Windows memory test.
• I have run Windows system file checker
• I have run MemTest86 3 times successfully with 0 errors
• I have re-installed Windows (keeping files and settings)
• I have updated all drivers.
