So while playing games. At random times. My computer will freeze. The keyboard lights shut off (Razer Blackwidow Chroma) and the screen stays on the last frame.

All of my hardware is brand new (less then a week old) and this has happened 4 times in the last week, on 3 different games.

The only way to get out of this freeze is to power the PC off, and then turn it back on. Everything is unresponsive.

*THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN GAMES, NOT WHILE IM JUST RANDOMLY BROWSING THE INTERNET*

Any help?

Don't you mean BIOS Version A.8 from 2016-03-02?

There have been many compatibility fixes between your original BIOS version and the latest BIOS version so only through testing of your system with the newest BIOS will reveal whether or not your problem has been resolved.
