Hello,

My pc is constantly freezing and not responding at all causing me to restart the pc like 5 times a day manually since i cannot turn it off in windows.
I really hate this because i cant even game right now because its so annoying and i really dont know how to solve this.
I dont think its the PSU since if it was this it would not even work right?
so i was thinking about the memory SSD or CPU.
(My pc doesnt get insane heat or anything)
specs:
CPU: fx 8320
GPU: msi gtx 960 4gb
CPU cooler: cryorig H7
motherboard: msi 970
memory: 16gb

I really hope someone can help me out since i really dont know how.

AMD CPUs are typically sensitive to RAM timings, so I would imagine you have to make sure the RAM is correctly setup in the BIOS/UEFI. Start with a safe profile for it, and start from there.

If that doesn't work, then it could be thermals (check the temperatures anyway).

Cheers!
Check thermals and make sure nvidia drivers are up to date. Your psu may cause this but symptoms for a psu failure are a little differant.
1 month ago i bought a new cpu cooler and also added thermal paste so i dont think thats the problem or i did add not enough/too much but my RAM are the oldest by far so gonna check that first
