Time to report in again... I'm now pretty sure that it's not Intels Turbo Mode itself that's the problem but Turbo Mode in combination with "Asus Multi Core Enhancement" enabled in BIOS. I have now done some testing with Turbo Mode enabled and "Asus Multi Core Enhancement" disabled and I haven't had any crashes yet....

Yes the CPU provides AES-NI, it's an Intel i7 7700K 4.2GHz and the motherboard is ASUS Strix Z270H Gaming. Both encrypted drives uses AES as encryption algorithm. In Veracrypt I have AES hardware acceleration enabled, (I have tested AES hardware acc disabled earlier in my search and that did'nt help) I also did a lot of benchmark in Veracrypts driver conf windows without any issues. What do you mean with "AES-NI is used exclusively"? If there would be an issue within the CPU itself wouldn't the same...

OK, I think I've found the culprit! I went through the BIOS settings and noticed that "Intel Turbo Boost" was enabled. After I disabled it I have'nt managed to reproduce the problem in Win 10 anymore (fingers crossed). I'm still wondering why does everything work flawlessly in Win 7 with this "Turbo boost" enabled and not in Win 10? BTW. I'm kind of happy...... ;-)

Today I changed the power scheme from "High Performance" to "Balanced" which is the recommended scheme by Microsoft. The result was the same, PC reboots after a while when copying files to encrypted drives. I'm lost....

Thanks for the reply! I am running the high performance settings and I have disabled fast startup. When you say device driver, are there any specific device or driver I should check? (considering the fact that writing to the encrypted drives seems to trigger the fault much faster and more frequently then just reading from them)

Ok, here's a little update on the subject. I've been doing a lot of testing to figure out what's causing the reboots. I've tested each stick of RAM in different slots, made no difference. I have run memtest86 for several hours without any errors. Run all Prime95 torture tests without any errors. Run sfc /scannow, chkdsk and so on without any issues. Scanned hdd's for virus, all clean. Win 10 is still rebooting after a while when copying files to or from or between the encrypted drives. and.... I've...
