Threadripper 2970WX soft crash with Windows 10 Event ID 56 ACPI 15

I have a problem with Threadripper 2970WX and Windows10 - I have no issues when the processor is running at high load - it will run for 24-48 hours calculating a large GIS model with no problem.  When the PC has very little load, almost every day I get a soft crash in Windows 10 whereby the GUI stops responding slowly and eventually the whole PC locks up and requires a hard reboot. Windows Event Log shows "Event ID 56 ...ACPI 15" for every crash.  I have tried everything that I can think of - latest BIOS, clean reinstall of W10, check memory is supported, check cooler etc. I would suspect that it's not a power issue if the PC can run for 24+ plus hours at  full load with no issue. There seem to be a lot of similar reports all over the internet, but no agreed resolution.  Can anyone help with this?

My build:
Motherboard: Gigabyte X399 Aorus Pro

Memory: 2x KVR26N19D8/16 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 DIMM Memory Module
GPU: NVIDIA 1060

Thanks elstaci, I had already found those posts and tried what they suggested...but today I disabled power state C6 in my BIOS and *as yet* no crash today.  Normally by this time it would have crashed.  I will keep monitoring and let you know. Fingers crossed..  It seems to me that there are two groups of users experienceing crashes - those who see a crash quickly when the CPU goes to full load, and those who see a crash on idle.  My machine has always been very stable when the CPU is under load - I've run is at almost 100% for 48 hours+ before - without any problem.  Mine always crashes when it's not doing very much at all, so the C6 low power state does make sense.
