I had a very similar issue. Took a while to troubleshoot. I don't have the same hardware as our Cptn but a 1080 gtx and I don't render...yet. Every reboot a conflict with two apps (Win10 Weather of all things and the Corsair Cooler software) maxed out all fans, temps on cpu's were 212f, gpu was around 180f, and it was very loud. Removed weather and Corsair software and that was that. Weird, eh?
Surprise! :)
Zero BSOD's during those malfunctions. Was a very interesting issue, though. I doubt I could recreate it just for research purposes. I'll admit odds are high I could be wrong with my diagnosis. Hope things can work out with his/her hardware. Shame the prices are ludicrously high for hardware these days.
