My computer freezes during games or sometimes when i look at youtube or Netflix.
Also there is No BSOD. No error messages.
It locks up so i need to hard reboot the computer.
What i have tried:
Update all drivers, and deleted old drivers.
Reisntalled Windows 8.1
Set power settings to High perfomance, tried all settings.
FurMark Stress test - no errors found. and it ran fine.
Memtest - Ok no errors found. Also tried running one and one ram. Still freezes.
Even Viewer does not give any indication of errors. Only that i shut it down.
BIOS update also tried.
Put the RAM Voltage to Auto, as it was on 1151.

Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 Six Core Processor. Black Edition
Cooler Master CM 690 III Black Edition
Cooler Master BS500 500W PSU.
Motherboard: ASUS AM3+ M5A97 R2.0
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 270X 2GB
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX 1600mhz 8GB Kit.
HD: WD Desktop Blue 1TB SATA 3.0

There is no dust in the computer. Also it is only 6 months old. And bought at Komplett in Norway. I can send it in, but im not keen on waiting for upto 3 weeks to get it back.

I am running out of ideas on what to do. Any help would be greatly apriciated.

It's a Tier Three PSU.Solid,but not good for a mid-higher end systems.
I would try and buy a new PSU.
Tier Two Class A and Class B are recommended:

Also,make sure it's at least 550W.
Now,don't immediately go and buy it.Something else may be the problem,but I don't see it.Everything else seems to be good.
96.78% of my body is sure that the PSU is the problem,but the other 3.22% thinks that something else is the problem.
Hope this helps..at least a bit. :)
A BIOS update came to my mind,but you've already tried it so.. :p

Just got a new PSU from the company that built the computer. It was the same ofc, (cheap bastards).
Put it inn, and made sure everything was connected the right way.

The same happen. Launched Arma 3 and DayZ, both freezed up i couldnt do s***t.

I am not trying to clone my drive, i had a WD Caviar Blue laying around, 1TB SATA.
So i will let you know if that changes anything!
