No raid arrays, there wasn't any problem until i did a clean install of windows 10 pro and all of a sudden this started happening.  Hardware has not changed between installs.  Used aida64 for over a year before that with 0 problems.

 

EDIT:  There is something very strange going on here.  If i go into my bios and disable a hard drive it will load fine.  I restart with the same hard drive disabled to test it and it gets stuck again.  It goes through if i recently disabled a drive but then the next restart its back to locking up again?  It doesn't matter which drive i disable it seems to do this and i strongly doubt all my drives magically started having problems over night.

It freezes on startup at scanning windows devices then locks my entire system up to the point i have to hold the power button down.  It seems to screw with the hard drives ability to work because it keeps corrupting my game settings n such as well.  If i uninstall aida64 there are no problems at all.  This worked fine with this system then i did a clean install of windows 10 anniversary and now its nothing but trouble.  It will literally break the start menu and keep me from even trying to shut down.  Is there a way to tell what device its freezing on and causing problems with?
