I've fixed it. The motherboard did not play nice with windows 10. I've upgraded to windows 11 and the freeze is gone. No need to replace any component.

I have updated my BIOS first, now I wait and hope that fixed it. The PSU should be able to handle my setup. I used pc part picker to build the pc and estimate the usage. Also I didn't do anything that would be power intensive. I'll keep that and the disks in mind if it happens again though I...

The PSU is from the old machine (end of 2016). As for storage I got 2 Samsung SSDs: 1TB EVO 850 and 2TB EVO 870. The 850 stores the operating system. They are both from the old machine.

PSU: Corsair 850W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold I will update my original post with this information. I've already done the memtest a few times with no errors found. I will attempt to update my BIOS in the meantime.

About 2 months ago I bought a new PC and I've been having freezing issues. It manifests as a gradual freeze. Let's say I play football manager on 1 screen and I have a youtube video running on my second screen. When the freeze begins, the computer becomes unresponsive: I click on buttons but...

zck92: Your main culprits are CPU, RAM or maybe GPU.

Ok... It seems both my CPU and RAM were faulty... talk about a combo...

So... it crahed even after a full format. I'm starting to think it's Windows 10 itself that is causing this (most recent build and/or updates). In the meantime, since my PC is still covered by the warranty, I'll have it returned and checked next week.

I've had my GPU replaced and I'm still experiencing crashes.

I tried FIFA 17 agains and I got this error: http://prntscr.com/e4yt5e This only happened once (first time after reinstall of windows). Since then it crashed directly to desktop as usual (I installed some cpu chipset updates, no idea if related or coincidence). I tried lower the CPU core clocks...

I ran 'Reset this PC' for a reinstall of win10 and I still get crashes.

I noticed something about the crashes. It seems only the newer games crash: The Witcher 2 only crashed once (which mistakenly led me to believe it too was affected, likely unrelated to whatever problem I have). I've clocked over 11 hrs since then and I experienced no crashes. I tried Divinity...

Update: I ran a furmark test and I had no issues. It was steady at 70C. Then I ran a Heaven benchmark and encountered no problems there. I used OCCT for a CPU test and an error was encountered after 1m 32secs. It doesn't say what the error is but it mentioned CPU #0... I've looked online and...

I got a new PC in early december 2016 and games ran without problems (FIFA17, Dead Space and Batman games, all of them). Since 15 Jan 2017 my games started crashing randomly. It first started with GTAV which would give me a 'GTAV stopped working' type of message. I can't debug it (it freezes...
