I know the problem, its an Intel lol

.

Kidding aside, are you overclocking at all ? if so try everything at stock settings, especially the RAM, I find freezing is normally related to RAM, BSOD's and crashes related to CPU.

Also, are you on the latest bios ? seems like an old date for the bios, before flashing, also load bios defaults first, then save and exit, and then flash, you don't want to be flashing bioses with these problems with XMP enabled, overclocks applied etc

Haha ok

And no not overclocking unless you consider xmp profile to be overclocking?

And yes I'm on latest bios

Yes XMP is overclocking the RAM, try with that at stock speed and see if the problem occurs with XMP off.
