So I recently deiced to go and upgrade my computer to match the Req for games coming out these days

Specs:
AMD FX(tm)-9590 Eight-Core Processor
Sapphire Raedon R9 290x TRI-X OC
Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Model BLT4G3D1869DT2TXRG(4x4GB)
Win 7 64-bit SP1
Kingston SV300S37A240G
ROG Crosshair 5 Formula Z BIOS Ver: 2101

Now I did a clean install of Win 7 on the SSD, and I've tried to make sure that I have updated everything some I'm now out of ideas.

GRAPHICS DRIVER IS UP TO DATE, jeesh...

Problem: I randomly hang in the middle of games and I'm forced to reset the computer.

I've checked the event logs, nothing.
I've confirmed that my ram is compatible with the mobo
I've run Memtest+ on the ram, no problems.
I've monitored the temp oh my computer, its never gotten about 60 on my CPU or GPU and the MB temp has never exceeded 40(in Celsius of course)
All my sata ports are currently running in AHCI and the RAM is running at its advertised timings of 9-9-9-27 @1866MHz
I'm not OCing anything and my PSU is 1200W so power isn't a problem.

Please tell me I'm just missing something obvious..
 
Try updating your video drivers. But also note that not all games are fully optimised for PC and may have some issues. Ubisoft's latest games have very bad feedback, saying that even the best PC receives low FPS. Do you experience your problem during all games ? Or in certain games only ?
 
Well, at first it was randomly hanging al the time in and out of games, I did some driver updates for the SSD and a missed update for Win 7 and it was all hunky dory again. I hung alot on Unity(updated my drivers) then after the update I previously mentioned it stopped hanging all the time and became a rare occurrence. Now, I've put nearly 50hrs into Dragon Age: Inquisition and haven't experienced any problems...until just now where it started hanging again.

Edit: Also have paid Malwarebytes installed and running since win 7 installation
