CPU: Amd FX-6300 (had it OCed to 4.3 but i removed it for the sake of fixing)
GPU: PowerColor AMD Radeon HD 7990 (got it like a year and half ago from my father, he used it for a bitcoin miner)
RAM: Corsair DDR3 1333
Using a SSD for my windows and a 2TB WD Blue for mass storage.
1600 voltage PSU, pretty overkill but didnt have any other PSU strong enough to power the GPU.

It started like 5 days ago. Was playing H1z1 with my friend when suddenly my pc froze, mouse froze, sound stopped... just everything stopped responding. I had to hard reset my pc, had no BSOD or any event in the event viewer. This happened the next day when i was playing GTA V i think. I cleanly reinstalled Windows 10 on my pc and downloaded only a few drivers and some games. I played some games for some time and i thought it has stopped. But after about 3 hours my pc froze again, had to hard reset it again. I continued doing stuff on my pc, like watching Youtube, talking with friend without a problem. The next day I tried to clean my graphics card and my CPU cooler (CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO) and aplied new thermal paste to my CPU. After my PC crashed that day again i hard reseted my PC once again but it crashed like after 2 minutes me being on my desktop. I also disabled all my overclocks and checked my temps after my crashes but they seemed pretty ok. About 50 on the CPU and 30 on the GPU. I can use my pc pretty alright without playing games but when i play some games for some time it freezes. One time it also froze after 20 seconds of me closing the game.

I have a feeling it could be because of my RAM because I have had it in this pc since i got it which is like 4-5 years ago. Also i have 24% idle RAM usage with chrome closed and I dont think it is because of viruses since I reinstalled my PC 2 days ago and only downloaded trusted software. With chrome opened it gets 60% usage and I think it used to be lower but I am not 100% sure about that.
 
Solution
It's hardware related, and first thing to check is if your PSU is either:

A) Not providing sufficient amount of power
or B) Faulty

Either way, try a new PSU and see if that works.

if you get no bsod & no events, it just means its not windows, and it has no idea why its happening.

what brand is PSU?

has it froze since you removed overclocks?

create a bootable USB with this and check ram: http://www.memtest86.com/ - you should get 0 errors to pass.

The PSU's brand is Lepa.
Yes it froze a bunch of times since I removed the OCs.
My pc froze during the test after 2 hours and 36 minutes of testing. It was doing the third pass, it had 91% and it passed 2 times out of 4 and had no errors.

UPDATE:
Was playing a game to see uf the problem persists and now my monitor doesnt get signal. Removed and inserted the RAM. Still no signal. I will try another PSU and another set of RAM tomorrow.

Also I noticed that my passive MOBO coolers were pretty scorching. I almost couldnt hold my finger on it. Could that be the problem or not?

My monitor doesnt get any signal. Fans are running. Have another set of RAM. At first my memok led was solid red butbi pressed it and after a while restartedband it the led isnt on anymore. Should I try to change the PSU? Or do you have any other solutions?

Power is most likely to blame.

It may not be supplying anything near the number it has on the box, better to pay a little more and maybe get what it says on box, you don't need any more than 600 at the very most.

unless mem ok light starts flashing anyway.
