Continuing to experience freezes after clean reinstall, unsure how to further debug

I've been occasionally getting freezes when using the PC, especially when streaming or playing video games. These do not fail to a BSOD in most cases, though I have had 1 or 2 if I leave the computer frozen for long enough. This happens at least 1x every 10 hours of use.

I did a clean reinstall of Windows
to see if that would help and the issue hasn't gone away. After the reinstall, I ran Windows Update and updated my graphics card driver, as well as moved USB devices from the front port to the back port. I didn't update any other drivers since the reinstall (mouse, keyboard, headset, ethernet, motherboard, etc.)

The most recent critical errors in the Event Viewer are:

  • Kernel-Power, because I had to force the PC to shutdown after it froze.
  • 2x DriverFrameworks-UserMode errors 10110, 10111 -
    • A problem has occurred with one or more user-mode drivers and the hosting process has been terminated. This may temporarily interrupt your ability to access the devices.
    • The device HID-compliant headset (location (unknown)) is offline due to a user-mode driver crash. Windows will attempt to restart the device 5 more times. Please contact the device manufacturer for more information about this problem.

I'm at a loss for how to test what's wrong next. So far:

  • Memtest didn't ID any errors in 2-3 hours of execution
  • GPU, CPU temps seem normal
  • sfc /scannow didn't flag any errors, nor did CHKDSK.
  • Samsung SSD tool said the drive looked good.
  • I don't think RAM, GPU or CPU are overclocked.
  • Unsure how to test mobo, USB connections, power supply, or other potential sources of the issue.
Specs:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170X Gaming
  • RAM: 16GB - probably Corsair brand
  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.00 GHz
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti
  • OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
  • Peripherals: Logitech g203 mouse, razer blackwidow keyboard, hyperx cloud 2 headset

Edit:

  • perfmon /report hangs at 'collecting data for 60 seconds'
