Hi,

I built my PC for gaming purposes about 1 1/2 years ago. But since I have had it I found a few intermittent problems.
1. Occasionally when I shut down the computer, it does't shut down but just resets and no matter how many times I click the shut down symbol, it just resets.
2. Every now and then, I will be playing a game (mostly CS:GO) and the game will freeze up and continuously skips ( like a broken record). I'm sure it isn't steam as i can play other games such as The Witcher 2 or Banished.

My computer specs are:
Power: Thermaltake- SMART 750w 80 PLUS BRONZE
Mother board: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming3
GPU: SAPPHIRE R280x
CPU: Intel i7-4790
Memory: 4gb x2 Coarsair Vengeance

x2 SSD, 256Gb and 120Gb
I ran windows 8.1, 64bit
