So my pc has been freezing for about a little less than a year now and the thing is that I've only seen it freeze on two games and once while stress testing the GPU.
The freeze itself is really random, it doesn't stutter or anything before it freezes, it just freezes and I have to manually shut it down on the psu and turn it back on
The two games that it's froze are Rust and risk of rain 2, which is very odd since risk of rain 2 is not a heavy game and I've played a lot of other heavy games in the meantime and it never froze.
The freeze itself can happen 2 times in a period of 3 hours or it can never happen at all in an entire day of playing the game.
And the strangest thing is, it also happened twice while I was just in the rust menu, which consumes only about 40% of GPU and much less of the cpu and about 30% of RAM
One thing I've been suspecious is my ssd, because only rust and risk of rain 2 are on that (and windows), but it doesn't show ant other signs of failure
One thing to note is that my cpu, motherboard and Ram are somewhat new, since I bought them about a year and a half ago, while the GPU is older and the psu and ssd are much much older
Things Ive tried:
-Memtest86 did not come up with any errors
-Stress testing the GPU did make it freeze but only once in the many times I tried it
-Tried CPU burner but not for long
-checked to see if the drivers were up to date
-ran chkdsk
-checked the temperature right on the time of the freeze: GPU - 78C / CPU - 63C
Specs:
-Motherboard Z370m
-CPU i5-9600k
-RAM 2x8GB 4000mhz corsair vengeance
-GPU gtx 970
- 1 ssd and 1 HD
-corsair 850W PSU
