One possible link suggestion a way to fix the surface issue:

I realize this is mostly for the surface book. But applied it this morning. Let’s see how the surface pro 3 works after this.
If still not stable, I might have to do a full re-install from a downloaded file that you put on a USB stick, and reset the surface pro from that. So much trouble…… 🙁
