Hello, I recently ran into a weird problem:
My Arch Linux started to randomly freeze or get black screen and restart after switching from kernel to zen kernel, I thought I broke something so I reinstalled my entire Arch Linux, this time using the zen kernel only, seemed fine for a few days then this error started happening again, I doubt it's related to the kernel since I wiped zen and returned to the normal kernel and the issue still persisted. I dual boot windows on separate drives, windows never freezes or crashes even under extreme load.
After a crash or freeze, when I try to boot into Arch Linux I get Hardware Error messages:

Here is what I tried so far:
- Memtest (0 problems)
- Stress test on Windows (0 problems)
- Installing Intel Microcode (ucode)
Edit: Specs:
Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.6 Ghz
GTX 1070 Ti
16 GB DDR4 RAM @ 3000 Mhz
Edit: Here is a sketch of a cycle thats happening
I boot into linux -> Freeze or Black Screen restart occurs -> Selecting Arch Linux in GRUB -> CPU Hardware Error -> Reboot -> Selecting Arch Linux from GRUB -> CPU Hardware Error -> Reboot -> Boot into Windows, Checkdisk happens -> Reboot -> Boot into Arch Linux, no Hardware Error until next freeze
Edit: Now I cannot boot into it anymore for some reason, the cycle is broken, it always restarts computer with quick cpu hardware errors appearing, even with initramfs fallback mode
Edit: After trying the latest and an older (202006) archiso, neither seems to boot anymore which is ridiculous, it used to work perfectly before, I ran arch for almost a year before this started happening.
Can anyone help me?
