Hi, everyone, I'm getting a little desperate since I don't know how to identify the error and fix it.
I'm having some issues with my rig, it never did anything like this before, I havent changed the hardware recently. And all the drivers are updated.
Whenever I'm playing games (Like Overwatch, for example) after some times, the image freezes, the sound continues for a couple of seconds, but then it just freezes too, it gets unresponsive, CTRL-ALT-SUPR doesn't work, forcing me to hard reset it.
I've watched the temps with the HWINFO64 Sensors. And temps look fine (The highest is my GPU with 81-82 degrees when playing a heavy game like Chernobylite, It can be improved but I don't know what i can do to do it besides improving the air flow)
Since Black Friday is approaching I would like to know if I have to replace a component, I was hoping to replace my two most used HDDs with 1TB SSDs (I will lose 500gb but...I will gain in quality of life i Think) and replace my ram with 2 16gb sticks (I edit video and do some 3d work that require a lot of ram to go smoothly) but looking at this situation I'm afraid I'll have to replace something else....
These are my specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz
Motherboard Model: GIGABYTE H110M-S2H-CF
RAM: 1 Kingston KHX2133C14 (8g) and 1 Kingston KHX2133C14D4 (4g) (12g total)
GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB
PSU Tacens Radix III 720
Storage: ST2000DM001-CH164 (2TB - Main disk)
WDC WD6400BPVT-22HXZT1 (640gb - Secondary)
WDC WD5000A AKS-00M9A0 (500 gb - Secondary)
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64)
