I built this PC last February. Problems started a couple of months ago when it started randomly freezing while playing or streaming videos and playing videogames, with the audio stuck on the last sound played. Sometimes, it takes hours of playing or streaming videos before the computer freezes up, sometime it takes minutes, but once it happens, after a forced reboot, it is highly likely that if I keep playing, it will happen again over and over within shorter intervals.
I tried updating all the drivers and programs on my PC, formatted everything and made a clean install, and now I have been testing the hardware to try and figure out which piece might be at fault.
Memtest did not find any problems with the RAM. I tested the GPU too and no issues there either. The Mersenne Prime Test found no issues with the CPU. Nothing is overheating.
Thank you in advance for your help.
