Hi All!

I've been experiencing some freezing during gameplay on all games I've played(watch dogs, Shadow of Modor, Wolfenstein) When I'm playing them I 100% freeze every single time. The strange part is that I can hit CRTL>ALT>DEL and I see the mouse cursor spinning. Nothing ever happens but it's strange. I decided to run a spec test. This is a picture from when I was playing a
view
game and it actually froze of me. I wanted to use the snipping tool but it was frozen so I took a picture.

To note
1) I just ordered thermal paste because the CPU temps are pretty high.
2) Graphics card looks maxed out but that number stays that way no matter whether I'm playing a game or not.

Could you post your temps and CPU usage? Also your PSU, Motherboard, RAM, and your GPU?

Definitely your CPU is throttling causing your system to freeze, a good air cooler or closed loop liquid cooler will solve your problem. Also your case has good airflow?
