The once a day crash conundrum

So, built a new PC, all went swimmingly and it's been running great apart from an issue that's stumped me.

When I cold boot the PC will freeze usually 5 minutes or so after starting up, it does it once a day, after a reset it will run perfectly for as long as I use it, Witcher 3, GTA5 etc no problem.

It's over clocked to 4.4, 12 hours AIDA stress test and Intel stress test stable, 6 instances of win memtest ran 12 hours, all error free and temps in the mid 60s under water.

Any suggestions? It's not the end of the world but I'd rather not have to reset once a day
 
Thanks, not having much luck working out which setting that could be, anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks guys.

I'm on the latest BIOS, memory is crucial 2133, quad channel kit that is on the qvm list. I did run benchmarks when I first built it at stock but as it doesn't freeze during those I'm not sure if it's oc related as I went straight into tweaking once I assumed it was OK.

I'll have a play with system agent and if that doesn't work I'll put it back to stock and start again.
 
Thanks chaps, I've been doing some general tinkering with it and so far it's not crashed, windows event viewer just gave me an error 41 which is fairly generic, who crashed didn't give any kind of log either.

I added a couple of AIOs to my graphics cards, an aquaero LT5 and upgraded the ram to 32gb and so far it's stopped freezing, my guess is probably the ram.
