This is some really strange behaviour. Installed a second GPU GTX1050 in PCIe 3 slot, left existing graphics card in PCIe1 slot but disabled with the onboard jumpers. PC has been running since yesterday without any crashes or issues. Then decided to disable PCIe3 via the jumpers and re-enable PCIe1 and everything is still running without issues ~ 5 hours so far. I am really at a loss as to why everything would work with 2 GPU cards in the MB with one of them disabled. Something else which is strange is that the fans on the GTX1050 run at 100% even though the PCIe slot is disabled.
Please let us know if your problems come back or/and if you find any final solution. I have the same issues as you - e.g. my PC can randomly freeze in different moments. Monitors still show image, but nothing works and only hard restart helps. Also my rig can pass few hour stress test without problems and then freeze when browsing Facebook... Sometimes I update BIOS or change memory settings and the PC run for many weeks without problems. Once I had no problems for two months and then the PC has frozen again. I think that your issues will be back. I think that the only solution is to RMA the board, but I'm afraid that they will not accept my claims as the problem is not visible immediately - the PC has to ran for few days at least.
Also can you hear something from the board in a moment it freezes? I can hear a crack (crackle, sizzle - don't know what word should I use).
