Hello,

The past 2 weeks, my PC would freeze mid "game" if you will. This seems very sporadic. I cannot Ctrl + Alt + Delete, Esc, Alt + Tab. Nothing works, i cannot even toggle caps lock and num lock on and off when it freezes.

I did notice it gets stuck in updating windows. The past few times, I came home after work and It was still updating which is unlikely to take that long.

I also noticed a while back, that when booting up, it said something of the sort about CPU heat. I downloaded NZXT CAM to monitor PC temps, and so far it hasn't run too hot. Even then, if it did overheat, the PC should just shut down, NOT freeze?

Last thing that worried me was my GPU fans weren't spinning, I also read that they wont spin until a certain temp/under-load

The last thing I noticed, (which was by total accident) is the PC froze if I bumped into it by accident. Now This has only happened once, but the PC froze before at random times.

I have an Intel i5 7600k
GTX 1070 SC AXC 3.0 Black Edition
Asus Prime Z270
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series RAM 16gb
EVGA Supernova 550w 80+ Gold Fully Modular

Any other info, please ask. THANK ALOT!
