Can't click on anything after using one application for a while

[cyber.lyon7897]

Basically the title.

After I am using an application, be it, a game or just Chrome, for an extended period of time, everything else become unresponsive. I can open the task manager but can't click anything, so can't shut down the program.

To remedy the problem, I have to restart the computer with the power button, can't click the task bar to restart or shutdown computer.

Not sure what causes this exactly but seems like it has to do with the amount of time being on one application. Don't think it has to do with RAM not being able to perform(unless it is broken or something) since this has just started recently.

i7-7700k CPU 4.20 Ghz, standard thermal paste, heatsink and fan cooling
ASUS Prime Z270-A LGA1151
Ballistix Sport, 2400 MHz, 16 gb

I don't think the system is overheating since it can happen while just browsing the Internet, but I can't be 100% sure.

"standard thermal paste, heatsink and fan cooling" Not sure what this means. There is no standard heatsink and fan for this cpu, only 3rd party. Download this tool. It will give your temps and a lot of other info on your setup. CPUID HWMonitor.

Just meant common not standard.

Both CPU and GPU are at 40 C
