I originally built this pc for music production but during the past 4 years it has served as a gaming setup I have only updated the gpu a couple of times but the other parts are from the original built and they still work perfectly in any game I throw at them. When I built the computer I had no clue what I was doing but somehow I got it running I have no deeper knowledge about volts or other things that professionals have and I don't think I ever updated any drivers manually other than gpu drivers so some of the drivers may be ancient.
I played RDR2 for the past 2 years mainly with no major issues but recently my computer started to freeze during gameplay on other games. I have been playing Rise of the Tomb Raider as of late and after around 10-30 min game just freezes and I can do nothing else than restart the computer. I decided to take the computer apart and examine if there is any indication of what the problem might be. I removed every single component from the motherboard as well as all the power cables. I plugged back cpu, ram's, gpu, ssd, and all the power cables. I started tomb raider again running with rivatuner this time so I could see some stats. When the computer freezes there are no visible signs in temps or motherboard to indicate the problem but after about 15-30 seconds red light between cpu and ram slots lights up I don't know if it is meant for the rams or for the cpu but here is also some photos and stats I attached if they give you any clues. And yeah I know that some of the parts look silly, at the time I built the computer I did not know I can't overclock the cpu so thats why there is that monster cooler
The rig is currently out from chassis sitting on my table ready to go for any testing you suggest, cheers!
