[Balthazar] Repeated Freezing

Balthazar keeps freezing up when running the SL Firestorm viewer, and even after. Upon restart, screens are also shutting off, then the computer is on for several minutes before actually rebooting.
I am still encountering the issue. The CPU freq also seems to be spiking an then dropping along with usage. had no problems on Friday, 6/24/2016, but at 3am the following day symptoms reemerged despite having run firestorm viewer and WOWS the previous day (Friday). Only twitch videos and 80's music videos were playing overnight. as of 7-11, the problem is back.

  1. Antivirus Updated.
  2. NVIDIA Drivers updated from 358.50 to 368.39
  3. Programs removed from startup via MSConfig
  4. Removed the LSI Raid card, it was blocking airflow over GTX #3's exposed circuitry.
  5. internet stopped working  at 2d 11hrs uptime despite good pings. COuldn't oepn new programs or finish shutting down. updated LAN drivers and scanned for malware.
  6. Nothing has worked. At 13hrs uptime interet refused to work, despite ping and traffic to local NAS. Could not shut down, ctrl alt del resulted in black screen after several minutes.
  7. So I finally restored from a full backup from June 13th, on the 29th. I had to convert the tib file to a VHD and then to Macrium's own backup format. Everything seems fine so far, at 3d12h uptime.
