I build myself a new computer and every time i play games it freezes (game image freezes, keyboard lighting goes from fading to a solid color) Wont respond to any commands and have to restart using the power button, sometimes a blue screen appears but freezes most of the time.

Specs:

i5 6600k (not oc atm as far as i know)
evga gtx 970
16gb ram ddr4
CX750M Powersupply
Asus z170a motherboard
500gb ssd (OS Drive)
2tb seagate hdd
And lastely windows 10.

When the computer restarts i also get this error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2016:07:13 03:06:18:981 Could not recognize operation: S!

2016:07:13 03:06:18:982 DifxFrontend failed!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Tried looking it up online etc but cant find any solutions that work (tried the cmd commands)
Also tried reinstalling windows with the option to keep personal files but i also got a error when i tried to do that so little lost right now.

Thanks!

I did do a clean fresh install of windows 10 when i finished building it all,
didnt have any problems with the install and now its starting to go all crazy.

The computer never shuts down during normal browsing and watching videos etc only when im playing games for 30 min orso.

AdamStain,

Try updating your BIOS and motherboard drives (make sure your use the correct drivers 32bit or 64bit).
Update your drivers for your video card.

Double check your device manager, make sure no device is conflicting.

I updated the bios which caused it to do even more bluescreens with the error being different twice: Memore_management and at times: critical process died.

Every time i start up the computer or restart it i still get the error: Could not recognize operation: S!
