Random PC freezes

[jason782008]

Hey im having problems on and off with my pc randomly freezing it doesnt matter what im doing i can be browsing the web or playing a game and suddenly the pc will freeze whatever application i have open will be unresponsive and the sound will cut off. I normally just wait about 1 minute and it all comes back again. A very rare time the pc didnt recover after 1 minute and i got a blue screen and the pc shut down but thats not as common.


I have checked all temperature's they are fine all below 40C
I have checked drivers all upto date.

My PC
Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i5 4590 @ 3.30GHz 39 °C
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate(MS-7850) (SOCKET 0)
Graphics
GN246HL (1920x1080@144Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (MSI)

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

if you want to be a 100% sure then take it to a PC repair shop that costs money but that would be my guess or it could be the motherboard.
