Since I've built this PC in March, I've been experiencing the below linked problem. Sometimes there is a BSOD and error code most times there is not, and just the audio queue of the crash and a still image, be it game or stream.
Crash:
https://youtu.be/xxKBJWUpr0kTroubleshooting done:
I've RMA'ed the ASUS Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) MOBO, and M.2 Samsung Evo 870 EVO 1TB. After receiving the replacements back, system still crashes.
Fresh Windows 10 install. system still crashes
Ran Memtest86 for 36 hours with 0 errors. Still could be RAM related, I will test all four stick separately.
GFX cards tested separately. The crash still happens when only one gfz card is running. (Note, I was running the 2080 and 1060 6gb on my old I7 4770K build for about a month, while I waited for the the new CPU to be back in stock, and at no time did that system crash.)
A few weeks ago the crash was pretty random only doing it once a week, but now the PC is crashing daily.
Other times the system will crash from going from screen saver to desktop. Streaming , Playing video games.
The only HARDWARE options I have left on my end is to RMA my 2080. I don't think this will help,
I'm thinking this crash is caused by a driver error, but what driver I don't know.
Crashes codes that I've been able to see.

At first I figured it was the RealTek audio driver (I was getting Windows notifications of a device being plugged into my front audio, when nothing was being plugged in), so upon a reimage of the PC, I didn't install the driver and went with the windows default driver.
This seemed to work for about two weeks I had no notification or crashes. Suddenly the crashes started again. I noticed a program called Armoury Crate had installed itself. After installation it updated drivers. There is a driver version issue.
https://ibb.co/Ldfts1HI never installed Armoury Crate, and I am not sure how it installed installed inf the first place.
Lately I've been able to get the crash to occur if I click "Close" on this error from Asus AURA Sync software. Usually 70% of the time the crash will happen.
https://ibb.co/B4gP3BJCurrently I'm in the process of uninstalling all Asus software, and hoping my system becomes more stable.
I would hate to have to reinstall windows again .
