During games mostly but sometimes just having a few tabs of a browser up my pc will freeze for about 5-20 seconds, sometimes no noise, sometimes the sound will continue like it's normal, and sometimes it does a really loud buzzing sound. Most of the time it is triggered by opening up a game or when a game gets intense.
Event viewer stated that I was getting Kernal Power 41 critical errors saying that the pc suddenly shut down due to a loss of power or the system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first due to stopped responding, crashed, or lost power, so I rma'd my PSU and got a new one, same issue, but "sort of" less frequently. Some days it would do it once a day, others nothing. Today while playing league of legends (a game that isn't intense graphically at all, especially for my system) it happen 3 times.
My hard drives aren't fragmented, my temps are all fine at the time of freezing, usage of all components are fine as well. I'm going crazy. Is this a ram issue? Please I need some help.
Some attributes of the crashes include the games playing like they are REALLY straining my system, like 5fps for a few seconds before crashing. One weird time was when I opened rocket league up, started a match and a minute into the match the game started playing awfully for a good 30 seconds, and I was able to exit the game without crash.

I agree on Prime95 for now, an hour is plenty to weed out an OC that isn't very stable. What about a bootable Memtest86 test? It's what I use. Same with RealBench. Do you have any dumpfiles you could upload? Some folks on here are great at deciphering the culprit if it's driver or software related. Also, even after being replaced, what PSU model do you have?
