My computer will freeze during benchmarks in games like Dragon age Inquisition and Batman Arkham city. The image remains frozen with no sound no Bsod and no hdd activity. It requires a hard reset to get out of. Whats strange is this doesn't happen when I play the actual game. This was also happening to me on the Blade and soul Menu.

PS: this just started happening about 3 weeks ago.

Steps Taken:

Tested Memory 12 hours no issues
Intel Burn tested my cpu at maximum lvl for 4 hours no issues and temp maxed at 71C
Tested several intensive games and furmark burn in for several hours temp maxed 76C no issues
All hardrives are defragged and smart as well as hdd tests say they are healthy. Xfer rates are
good!
Installed latest drivers and chipsets. tried rolling back to old ones. (always used driversweeper)

Nothing shows up on Event Viewer .
Whats strange is my computer operates fine and I have had absolutely no freezes during gameplay. The only reason I bring this up is I fear maybe something is failing and Id like to catch it while under warranty and i have some cash.

Specs:
CPU: i7 3770k
GPU: MSI TwinFrozr Gtx680
Ram: 2x8gb 1600mhz corsair
Mobo: Gigabyte-Z77-D3H
HDDs: 128gb Crucial ssd(OS),256gb kingston ssd, 2x1tb hitatchi , 1tb WD Veloceraptor, 3tb WD black caviar
PSU: Cooler master 750w


I use a surge protector

You think? Ill doo a full scan in safe mode and come back with the results. Thanks for the response.

Update: I did an Indepth scan with Eset and Spybot in safe mode. Eset found nothing and Spybot found a few adware and one piece of malware called an end file? I purged everything and tried benchmarking inquisition 3 times with no freezing and Batman Arkham city also successfully completed its benchmark. I will try to benchmark again to confirm this isn't just luck or a fluke but for now I am optimistic. Thank you.

Update 2: It started freezing again this time during the beginning cut scene and character gender selection screen. This is starting to worry me
