So this started a while ago, I wanted to change something sound related on my motherboard, but it seemed I fried my motherboard with an ESD.
So, I bought a new motherboard; a MSI 970 Gaming, using all my old hardware I just swapped everything out onto my new motherboard, using the same OS I had used before this happened.
Everything seemed to work fine, but I will now randomly get complete PC freezes, seemingly at random, except it seems to occur especially when I have very needy programs running.
The symptoms of the freeze are just a complete screen freeze, the audio will loop indefinitely.
Usually the PC will hardlock, and completely freeze, and I have to hard reset my PC to get out of it.
But sometimes my PC will come out of the freeze after a few seconds.
I usually know my PC is hardlocked since my fans will slow down significantly.
I have tried to troubleshoot for this specific problem but it's very hard to find a fitting answer since I don't have any error codes or bug screens to show.
I will try to get some kind of CPU/GPU read out screenshot whenever my PC recovers from a freeze, but as of now I don't have any read outs.
CPU usually hangs around 80°C, not going above 86°C, GPU has a solid 50°C which never seems to fluctuate.
I will try to refresh the cooling paste on my CPU soon, maybe I can get it to under 70°C, but I doubt this is the issue.
