I have been having this issue for a long time, even have taken it to a professional where it didn't get fixed. The problem is that randomly my pc will crash and stop responding and stop playing any audio. When I took it to get fixed i was told I had a faulty graphics card so i have recently upgraded to a 1660 Ti and am up to date with all these drivers. I have ran "Hot CPU tester" and it came back with no errors. I have also ran a windowns memory diagnostic tool which came back with no errors also. I am not sure where to go next in diagnosing the problem.

My Specs -
CPU AMD FX 9590 (8 core, 47Ghz) - my friend said its overclocked out of the box?
GPU Nvidia 1660 Ti
Mother Board Asus Sabertooth R2.0
Ram 8Gb DDR3
PSU is Corsair CX750
Im running windows 10 64 bit.

Here is a speccy Screenshot, I see this being asked for in a lot of forus:

Open Reliability History and Event Viewer to look for error codes and warning.

Reliability History is much more user friendly so start there. Note that you can right click entries to get more information.

How old is that 750 watt PSU? Should be enough wattage but if the unit has been heavily used for gaming, graphics work, or bit-mining it may be starting to falter and fail. Could be nearing its' designed EOL (End of Life).

Another thing you can do is to power down, unplug, and open the case. Clean out accumulated dust and debris.

Ensure that all cables, cards, RAM, and jumpers are fully and firmly in place.
