So as the title states, my pc just randomly freezes while playing certain games.
For example whenever i play a relatively heavy game like gta V or F1 22, it freezes after like 5 minutes of playing, however when i'm playing a less heavy game like Raft, Bloons,... it doesn't freeze, even after 3-4 hours. Whenever a freeze occurs i have to turn off the system via the power button. I tought the freezes were happening because i broke a ssd that my windows was on, i moved it to my 1tb nvme and it still occured. I had already ordered a new 500GB nvme just for windows, which is now in use and it's still happening, so i'm pretty sure it's not related to that. PC freezes out of nowhere, no audio glitch, no small freezes or dips, no error, just nothing.
- things i've tried so far:

- things i've tried so far:
- Fresh windows install (3 times)
- Updating every single driver i can
- Windows Memory test
- Multiple benchmarks and stress tests (which didn't cause my pc to freeze?)
- Verifying the game files through steam, and reinstalling
- Updating BIOS
- Disabling my CPU overclock, also adjusting my voltage while running the OC
- sfc /scannow (like 13 times already) did come back with a corrupt file the first time, fixed it and now it came back fine the other 12 times.
- Virus scan (bullguard) found nothing
- My temps are fine, under heavy loads both my CPU and GPU are reaching max temps of 70-75c, and only a max of 65 when playing GtaV
