Aurora R8, BIOS 1.0.17, keeps freezing/crashing

Question

Hi All, My  Aurora R8 was fine until yesterday the windows updater updated firmware 1.0.17 to my PC without me knowing its a BIOS update. After that, my PC will randomly freeze/crash between 10 second ~ 60 mins after the restart. If I turn it off for the entire night, it may work longer until it freeze. If I keep restarting , it will crash very soon. Here is something I tried but nothing has been working yet. 1. rollbacked windows to 2 weeks ago. 2. installed 1.0.9 version of bios (but it froze again and after the restart it tried to install 1.0.17 again) 3. using the system bios recover to to recover the bios (also version 1.0.9) and disabled the UEFI capsule firmware updates 4. unplug and hold the power button for 30 sec and replug in. Nothing worked. I wonder what might solve the issue.
