[HELP] PC Freezes While Playing Games Or Doing Anything. Have to Force Restart

[ZyraBreh]

First, i was getting Automatic Repair Loop and BSOD whenever id play. I then figured out something was faulty with the ssd i had as my boot drive and i removed it and all Automatic Repair Loop and BSOD is gone. I replaced it with an older WD Hard Drive and everything worked for about 3 days and then i ran into the issue im having right now. I could be playing CSGO or even on YouTube or Twitch and it will freeze up forcing me to restart my pc from the power button. While it freezes, I check to see if its deadlocked or not by tapping the cap locks key but sometimes its not deadlocked. Its a 50-50 chance of it being deadlocked. Ive ran memtest and had no ram issues and im checked both my hard drives and both had no problems. Ive also reinstalled windows many times. Sometimes i can be sitting on my desktop and one thing will go unresponding and a little box pops up saying end process. Everytime it does do it I try clicking it and it makes other things go unresponding (Taskbar, etc.) and its annoying since i dont know what the cause is.


Ive replaced my RAM stick too, but now im starting to thing its either my Graphics Card or my Hard Drives Or Something. Idk what to do. I cant even go 1 day without having to force restart my pc like 3-4 times a day. Also, ALT+Tab, CTRL+ALT+Delete, etc. dont work. Therefore, forcing me to restart from the power button. Any comment is helpful, just trying figure out what to do.

PSU: EVGA 430 Wat

I don't think that PSU is enough for your build, see if you can get borrowed another decent PSU 500w+ to test if your system gets stable with it.

The other possibility could be overheating even during idle usage (cooler could be set improperly), check your temps with hwinfo or AMD Overdrive.

Ive checked the temps using HWMonitor n everything seems to be fine while being idle and playing games. Its when im in game itll freeze, or even sittin on my desktop everything will jus go unresponding and stay like that until I force restart. I will try buying a new PSU 550W+ or something.

i had the same issue, i think you only need to update the bios, and upgrade that power-supply to 550 watts, or what ever you want

hope i helped
