Hello good fellas.
First of all, I did not find a thread with my problem, or that solved it.
Second: It is not any kind of "overheating", yes, I am sure, double sure.
xD

So, a few weeks ago, my pc started freezing (monitor gets a random color), then the sound starts looping, and it restarts. Also, when it happens, I can't use anything like alt+f4, ctrl+alt+del, alt+TAB, ctrl+shift+esc, etc...
I tryed:
Reinstalling every single driver there is(including directx), reinstalling windows(8.1), monitoring the heat, stress testing "RAM", etc...

What I did not try (yet [trying right now]): Stresstesting CPU, testing HDD, testing GPU.
I'm monitoring everything with 2 different programs GPU-z and MSI afterburner and saving it.

What I read somewhere that may be the stuff: bad GPU RAM. bad HDD.
If someone know something about it, I would be happy to read your opinion :D
Thank you

is this freeze keep coming or just once in lifetime?

I got the freeze, and when i stresstest i found out my graphic card doesn't work they way it need to be. I mean, my score is 3,3k on Unigine. While they review scored 4,5k.

So i go to the shop and exchange this.

Also what you need to do is formatting HDD and if you got friend who got nearly same specs as yours, go and put your graphcard there and try to stress test.

Whenever the freeze comes, I need to restart, or it restarts itself. And the error never happens without the freeze.
I have my pc for 2 years now, so it isnt some kind of manufacturer problem.
Also, I did format my HDD, but I cant try my gpu in another pc right now :/
