Please Help - Computer Keeps Freezing.

Hello,
I need some urgent help and I am truly at my wits end here. I built a custom computer with the stats below. This is what happens after I start my computer and log in:
1. I will be either be working online using chrome, IE, Firefox, or playing video game (Counterstrike Source, steam games, wow) and the computer will either:
a. freeze on the current screen without making a single sound, and neither my mouse nor keys will work and I will have to reset the computer which brings me back to the login screen. It will do this infinite times in a row with anywhere between 30 secs to 30 mins between occurrences.
b. make a horrible "Blaaaaammmmmmmm" sound and freeze the screen, mouse, and keyboard. The sound ends after about 3 seconds leaving just the frozen stuff behind. Once again occurring numerous times in very short periods.
2. Keep working for more than 8 hours straight without any trouble whatsoever, no stalling, freezing, random sounds, nothing. Just perfection.

I've scoured the internet looking for all sorts of causes and solutions (too many to list here) and tried them all to no avail. I've re-installed the software from factory default, dis-assembled and re-assembled the hardware, tried different settings, altered system files, and the list goes on and on, nothing has worked.

Can you guys please help me save this desktop. I would be most thankful!

Stats:
Windows 10 Pro
AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor 3.90GHz
8.00 GB RAM
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
ASUSTek Motherboard
AMD Radeon R9 200 Series Graphics Card
Crucial 128 GB SSD Drive (This is where Windows is stored)
SanDisk 450GB SSD Drive (This is for storing other files)
TP-LINK 300Mbs Wireless N Adapter

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thank you very much!
 
Did you use the standoffs between case and motherboard? Could be an issue with one of the SSD's.
 
Johnb35 - I am not sure what you mean exactly by standoffs. I basically screwed the motherboard to the case utilizing the holes and screws provided. I thought that as well and have run numerous programs to debug or to find out if there is anything wrong with the SSD's. Nothing has come up but I am more than open to try anything you recommend.

Beers - The specific RAM that I have is: Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 CL9 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit Two 4GB Memory Modules. (http://www.microcenter.com/product/...nel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_Two_4GB_Memory_Modules)

I didn't set any profiles or set any timings. However, I did utilize a program (whose name I cannot recall ATM) that checked both of my RAM and found nothing wrong with them.

Neither the CPU or GPU are being overclocked at all. Their is optimum amount of fans and airflow within the case, so it's not overheating.

These are standoffs. Used between motherboard and case to keep motherboard from shorting out against the case. What case do you have?
