So my and a friend have built a pc, and after a few minutes of gaming the sound goes weird and then the mouse and keyboard disconnect (Game still running and youtube clips still playing) and all we can do is a forced restart. we tried many options: different RAM, changing BIOS settings, looked all over google bud haven't found anything like this :/

Specs:
Asrock 970 Extreem 4
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Club 3D Geforce GTX650
CX600W
Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9
Standard Dell keyboard
microtools mouse.

Did you do something prior to the problem?

I recommend you try:
Check all drivers. If everything's up to date, or if it doesn't work, check if all your devices are okay in the device manager.

You may also want to flash/update your motherboard BIOS.

It means downloading your BIOS (the same version if you want to flash or a more up to date version for update) on your motherboard's manufacture site, storing it on a pen drive or a CD and reinstall (flash) or update your motherboard BIOS. You should search on how to update the BIOS for your manufacture as there are lots of different ways to do it (always prefer the ones where you don't have to enter the OS as these are safer).
Don't know if Asrock motherboards have EZ flash (just search for something like that in the BIOS menu), but if they do it's very easy to update/flash your BIOS using it.

If it was a temp problem, the keyboard and mouse wouldn't stop working and neither it would cause sound problems. When you have temp problems you usually face freezings (specially under overclock conditions), artifacts (if it's a GPU temp problem) and auto shutdowns.

I have been having the same type of issue/s and have tried all the same help people have had to offer, in all the dfferent post I've read online.
Update: To actually fix this issue I ended up having to go to the device manager and check for driver updates on all my devices, one at a time. I think the ones that had updates that fixed this issue were the ACPIx64-based PC under the computer drop down and the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, specifically the ICH ATA and SATA AHCI controllers (I think these made the difference). I checked them all, but these were the only ones that had updates. Once those were updated and the computer was restarted, it has stayed on. It's been on for a day now and no problems so far.

All I can suggest you do is uninstalling this DOMAIN device driver, so windows will install it again on next startup and has a possibility to fix it.
BE CAREFUL, IT ALSO MAY GIVE YOU A HUGE HEADACHE! BACKUP ALL IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE DOING IT!

Double click this device in the device manager and under the tab "driver", click "uninstall". Reboot the computer and see how it does.
