Hello everyone!

I have been having random computer freezes. Randomly computer will freeze, (usually around when computer is turning on 1-15min). It will freeze my screen and not do anything until I manually restart it.

So, I wiped my computer clean to ensure that the problem is hardware. Which is DEFINITELY is a hardware issue.
I did a multitude of tests. Memory(RAM) seems fine. CPU is fine. However, it comes down to my GPU and PSU. I am very well leaning toward my PSU and looked at the same problems occuring to others and answer are it's a PSU problem.
I did an energy test through the cmd.exe by typing "powercfg -energy" and getting 18 errors and 1 warnings.
View my errors here:

And also, here are my specs:

My PSU is came with a box saying "OcZ Technology. ZT Series Power Supply.

If anyone computer-smart can help, that would be amazing!

It's not a bad psu, although it could have a problem.

Also (powercfg -energy) I wouldn't count that as reliable, I just did that in the cmd and got a bunch of errors too, and my system is completely stable.

If you can borrow a friends psu and see if that fixes it? If that keeps happening try your pc without your gpu installed.
Also when your pc freezes do your gpu fans automatically climb to 100% speed?

Try all this and post back here
-good luck

No I think I would definitely hear my GPU fans run on 100% when it happens, and I don't think it has ever don that.
What is that supposing then?
EDIT: No way, checked right now. All fans are working at a normal ease.

Sometimes when it's a gpu problem and it crashes the gpu goes into a lock where the fans go 100% and you can't do anything until a hard reset.

Try a friends psu or a different psu that's able to run your system. Also try it without a gpu if you can't borrow one.

Then post back here.
