PC Freezes after 2-3 minutes without pressing anything or moving mouse, it doesn't go to lock screen or anything, just completely freezes until you move or press something, in BIOS the sleep settings are configured by OS and i have as power plan high performance. I've updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers and it still happens.

CPU:i7 4790k
GPU:GTX 970
RAM:G.Skill 16GB 2.1Ghz
PSU:EVGA 650GS
HDD: WD 1TB Blue
SSD Samsung 750 evo 256 gb

Thanks in advance
 
Check the power settings again and perhaps try a few different configurations.

If that doesn't work I'd be shocked, but if it happens just reformat the machine and run a backup either with a disk imager (i.e. Macrium Reflect) or a snapshot tool (i.e. RollBack Rx).
 


Ran a malwarebytes scan, apparently i had a shitton of viruses, tried timering 5 minutes on netflix, didn't happen again, thanks anyway

EDIT: Not sure if that actually made it, looking into malwarebytes log and the viruses it found were spyware password stealers and they're normal apps' taskhost.exe for example Roaming\spotify\taskhost.exe
