Hi there, been directed here by a friend. Basically my issue atm is when i start playing a game of counter strike my pc will freeze typically 5 rounds into a game. My screen just has a frozen image of what i was doing at the time, no black screen or error message comes up. When i try to control, alt delete it does nothing. I am unable to turn off the pc with the start up button so i am forced to turn off with the switch at the back which i know isn't a good idea but i have no other way of turning it off. After i start back up i will come up with either detecting arrays or start windows normally. When the windows starting screen comes up typically it will freeze again or sometimes i get to where the desktop loads then it freezes. Then i have to turn off at the back again and then it has been running games and everything fine for the rest of the night.
Today has been a different story, during my matches it has frozen and then unfrozen 3-4 times.
I have done a mem test which has come back fine. I have checked the temps for things inside the pc which look ok although i have been using my pc with the side taken off and moved it from under my desk and away from the wall just in case. No malware or virus detected. What i have found though is these 2 messages

When i click message details it says 'Your computer was unable to download the solution at this time. Check to make sure your computer is connected to the Internet, and then try to download the solution again later'
I have just now done a windows update and restarted as directed. When it restarted it came up with a blue screen with lots of writing on and all i saw was 'driver power state faliure'
Not too long ago i had a message come up saying my drivers might be out of date, so i updated them to Crimson Edition 15.12. I think it is from around this time or shortly after this problem started. I am unsure of how to revert them back though. I am at a bit of a loss right now. I am going to attempt to replace the thermal paste in my graphics card soon but otherwise not sure whats happening
Specs are
AMD phenom(tm) II X6 1045T, 2700 Mhz, 6 cores
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon R9 200 series
Sorry if i have not included anything i needed to, any help would be great
