	First rule out the hard disk. By your description it sounds like your drive may be dying. I have had similar symptoms on systems I have repaired that were caused by bad drives. 100% drive usage could be caused by faulty cache on the drive, bad sectors being remapped constantly, read errors the drive is trying to correct etc. When building a new system or even just upgrading the first thing in the bin from the old build should always be the mechanical hard disk (if you have one), particularly if it is more than 5 years old. Mechanical drives are prone to failure, especially Seagate Barracuda drives from the mid 2000s for some reason. I have seen more than a dozen fail shortly after warranty..... My guess would be a bad batch of components or poor design choices in that period. It only seems to have effected the Barracuda line however.

	zfournier, no, no, do not DL anything onto the USB stick. DL the Media Creation Tool to your system (Desktop) and execute it. Plug your new USB stick in and tell the tool to create a USB stick and point to the new Stick. Enjoy, John.

	Sorry, zfournier. Do you have or can borrow another video card? I would suggest you get down to a minimal system - one memory stick, minimum video card etc. I suggest you open a ticket with ASRock support and start talking about an RMA. Enjoy, John.

	If the system is stable without the video drivers installed I would hold off on RMAing anything. I would try using DDU (Display Driver uninstaller) in safe mode and see what happens when you reboot. If the system is stable then try with different display driver versions and see if any are stable for you. If you have not already, clear CMOS and see if it helps stability.

	for me the freezes / crashes happen in Linux using nouveau as well: This is a dmesg log up until freeze: https://hastebin.com/opubojejiz.go If your problem is the same as mine DDU and other driver version will not help you i guess. Not sure if related to the GPU or the Motherboard OR the CPU. My next attempt is switching the GPU from a 1060 to a 1050ti. if this does not help a new mainboard it is :/
