I've tried searching and tried asking questions here but none ever solved my solution so i'm just trying again. I've had my computer for a few months now and have had a problem with the computer freezing and completely locking up, forcing my to reset my computer manually. It happens when running stock or overclocked, it feels like it happens less overclocked but there probably isn't a difference.

I'm using windows 8.1 as the OS
CPU: FX-8350
Cooling: H100i
Motherboard: Crosshair V Formula Z
HDD: standard 1tb western digital
SSD: Kingston hyper X
Ram: 16gb G.Skill Trident series 2133mhz
Psu: Roswill Xtreme 750w Bronze certified
GPU: GTX 770 ACX 4GB

Although not likely to kill it due to quality, your CPU combined with a closed-liquid cooler is probably causing your VRMs to overheat. Your CPU temps may look fine. Make sure you have good airflow through your case. You may wish to get something like an Antec Spotcool and direct it at the VRMs.

By default they are clocked down. It says that the VRAM is running at 668.9 on cpu-z

i had that when i first switched to water, 8350 and a giga ud7 mobo.
i did have a memory fan, but the vrms were not getting the airflow they needed.

my rad is topmount, i ended up just turning the rear fan to an intake blowing fresh across the vrm's and out the top rad.

this dropped temps all around a bit. i have tons of airflow, there was just a dead spot on the vrms from not having a heatsink fan stirring things up.

Check all the ventilation. Turn on your pc and sick your hand in it. Is the airflow strong? then check the outside f it decreased dramatically. If so, it's definitely ventilation.
