Heyo,
My computer freezes every day, usually around 10 to 20 minutes after first startup. The screen and sound completely freeze and I cannot move my cursor or open Task Manager, the pc eventually restarts itself. This occurs faster when I start up any game but it has also happened when I'm simply browsing the web or during a meeting on Teams. After the first restart, my pc runs fine for the rest of the day.
I have now formatted and reinstalled Windows 10 (UEFI way) on my pc because I initially thought it was a driver problem.
To give you some background story, I used to have a GTX 1070Ti in my pc but it started acting strangely; really low fps in games and sudden crashes while watching Netflix. I took this card out and temporarily replaced it with the card I'm currently using, a GTX 760. Since I've been using this card I have had these once-a-day crashes, before that I had never experienced this before.
I have checked my drives through HDTune and both are healthy. I have also ran my setup with only my main drive in for a while which made no difference.
For a while just after I had reinstalled Windows, I had very few programs installed on it. I launched WoW on the mostly clean setup and there were no crashes that day. The following day I had installed some other basic software, including Citrix. I read some thread where someone said the Citrix display adapter could be causing problems, I immediately uninstalled it to test if the problem would go away but to no avail.
Yesterday I also had something happen worth mentioning. I was in a Discord server where video call was being used by 4 people, including me. I had no games running but was watching Twitch and Youtube on Edge (Chromium based). Suddenly frames began to drop, my cursor moved around the screen very slowly and my friends' video call and the videos playing on Edge were all stuttering. It's almost like the graphics card was about to hard crash again but it didn't. The system kept running and everything went back to normal after about 10 seconds. This time I was able to hear them fine. This has happened before in a Teams call but that time my pc did crash after about a minute of frozen screen.
I have no clue what to do. I am running a fresh install of Windows with the minimum amount of software installed. Is the card unable to keep up with my two 1440p monitors? I wouldn't know how to check the PSU but should I replace a cable? IS UEFI the problem? My GTX 760 used to run fine on my old setup but now that it's in here it's just been causing me trouble. Is it even the GPU that is causing the crashes? I don't want these daily crashes to cause harm to the rest of my components. I inserted a link to my Google Drive at the bottom of the thread containing event logs from the crashes, a DxDiag file and HWMonitor file.
It would be very much appreciated to get some help on this one!
