Ok, It's been months, I said to my self it will fix itself evantually but no nothing changed, I tried these;

Memory Diagnostic
Unplugging an old hdd I used
Disabled my overclocks
Bought a SSD and cloned my windows on there


but still, mostly while playing games it just freezes, no BSOD.

Im tired of this, I hope that you guys can help


My Specs are

AMD FX-8150 Black Edition
Sapphire HD7950 3GB
ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard
8 gigs of HyperX Ram
a PSU that came in with my Xigmatek Talon. (700W)

Hi there Kinderpunch,

Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of things that can cause such freezes.
You can perform some more troubleshooting steps:
- Even though you have done memory diagnostics, it may be a good idea to run the system with only 1 RAM stick at a time on different ports and see whether the issue will persists.
- Measure your system's temps.
- Update your GPU's drivers. If the issue persists, you can try rolling them back.

If all of these pass the tests and seem to operate properly, you may need to test your PSU. Unfortunately, the easiest way to do that is to just borrow one from somebody and install it on your system.
