May I suggest you look at the PSU for under voltages on all rails. I am in the process of RMA on a Corsair HX850 that was giving low voltages and Steam was crashing since November 2016 and it took a long time to diagnose as it only crashed in Steam. Windows 7 installation became corrupt so I switched to W10 and problem still occurred. My 3.3v = 2.9v and showed up red in the Bios. 5.5v= 4.49v and 12v = 11.29v.
