Question Random Crashing

So I recently built my system around May, and it was my first build. At the start there were some problems with audio drivers, but have since then been resolved, and everything runs fine. My one problem is that randomly once every few weeks there will be a time when I'm gaming while listening to music or youtube and my whole computer freezes. My LEDs on my keyboard stay static, I can Alt+f4, I cant alt tab, nothing. Just a frame of the game Im playing. But the audio will still be playing. I though it was an issue with my RAM usage, but it doesn't seem like thats the case. My friends think that it's my GPU, and I honestly have no idea what the problem could be. If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated
 
So the in-game audio progresses as though the game is actually still progressing in the background, or the audio freezes as well?

If the video hangs, but, you can still hear online shooting in the background, that might very well support some sort of GPU (or driver) failure, be it actual GPU or even partial power brownout (PSU) induced...

What sort of GPU are you using? Do you have another you can try?

Have you tried reseating the GPU and it's PCI-e power cables(if applicable)?
 
fixed your overheat issue?
full system spec? include make and model of the psu
My overheating issue is fixed, there was a factory BIOS setting that was messing up clock speed for my CPU and has since been fixed
Here are my specs
Rx5700
Ryzen 5 3600
Gigabyte Auros Elite wifi x570
Gskill ripjaws (2x8) 3600mghz
C
I believe my psu is a Corsair RM750x, which is semi modular

So My game will be frozen, and my keyboard doesn't work but my music from spotify still plays. I dont have another GPU to try, but I will try reseating my GPU and see if that works.
Thing is, there is no way for me to really check definietly or not because the freezing has happened at the most random of times
