Computer freezes Help!!

[zanw2268]

Hello everyone

I Have been recently experiencing problems with my computer.
What happens is I will have it running and when I come back Home The whole screen is frozen and I can't move my mouse or use keyboard commands, the time freeze's aswell so i know what time it crashed. To fix this I have to hit the kill switch on my power supply.

At first i thought it was my cpu (overclocked), so I upped the voltage a tad and ran some stress test's, they all passed. My temps for all my components are in check so that's not the reason.
I'm thinking it might be my graphics card.

These are my specs:
Fx 6300 @4.5ghz 1.4V
M5A97 R2.0
HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2
Hyperx fury Ram 16gb (2x8) @ 1866mhz (black)
Kingston SSD 120gb
1 TB HDD Western Digital
Asus Xonar DG Sound card
Windows 7 home premium
I'm running dual monitors both different resolutions

Any help would be great, I can post more details if you ask

On a side note can I overclock my Ram lets say to 2133mhz?

Thanks you all for your help!

Set everything to stock speeds until you figure out the freezing issue. How long have you had the pc?

Just over 2 years now, And I recently started having this problem, out of the box my cpu was a beast in overclocking, my graphics card the opposite, couldn't reach 1 ghz stable. I'm running Error checking on both my Drives right now hopefully that will fix it.

I tried using Msi afterburner but It seems to be glitchy with my Gpu, so I went back to GPU tweak, and the voltage slider is messed up.

When I check for problems in the action center this is what pops up.
maybe reinstall all graphics drivers?

I would try drivers first. And again, i would eliminate any overclocks until you get the issues fixed.

Thanks I will give it a try, How do I reinstall drivers for my gpu again? I cant find any on the Asus website

Youll need to go the amd website to get them. Been a long time since i had an amd card, but if i remember right there is a clean install option. Thats the one you want to use.
