It seems my computer is freezing to a solid color (red, green, blue, white) whenever I start playing a game or launch Photoshop. I reinstalled my graphics card drivers but no luck.

Intel - Core i3-4160 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor
MSI - Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair - Vengeance 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
MSI - Radeon RX 470 8GB Gaming X Video Card
Corsair - CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
 


Thanks for replying. Yes, I do need to hard reset the PC.

Idling it looks like my temperatures are on average 38 degrees. Before the crash the highest the temperature got was 50 degrees.
