Some Hardware in my PC is failing, but I don't know what part.

I have been having problems for a few months now. At first it was REALLY slow boot times +15 minutes, after that it was high cpu usage which was somehow malwarebytes anti-malware's problem. Now when I restart my computer after about 3 hours resource intensive games start freezing, the mouse stops responding, and the audio cuts out constantly, after about 10 hours the computer becomes sluggish freezing in even chrome. The problem is that after about 15 hours eventually my monitor suddenly goes black for a split second then my computer is frozen and the monitor shows major glitches ( broken images, random colors, upside down screen, and other artifacts) and I have to restart the computer. This happens constantly within the same time frame every time.

I have ran a malwarebytes a windows defender and a hitman pro scan so I do not think this is a virus. I have also had my computer on a stock overclock since I've had it without knowing it, so I
get the feeling it's a hardware problem.

I forgot to mention that I also have problem with my wifi stick it is constantly having default gateway problems

Sounds like you need a new computer...or an exorcist.

joking aside it sounds like it could either be a couple of different things:

1. memory problem - I know first hand how RAM can severly slow down a computer so the slowness could be attributed to that
2. motherboard failure - You're saying that the mouse just stops responding and the audio cuts out. it could be time to get yourself a new motherboard, maybe the one your using is starting to have problems and that's why your mouse and audio are cutting out.
Processor failure - you said that you had your system at "Stock Overclock" it could be your processor is starting to fail too.

really though for anyone to give you "Sound advice" your going to need to post more info about your computer. please explain what kind of graphics card, ram, processor, and motherboard you have and how old they are, that would definitely help. Most people say less is more, but on Toms Hardware, more is more.

your stats check out. next run memtest to test your RAM, then aida64 to stress your CPU, then run a benchmark in heaven on max settings. let u sknow if any of these tests 'fall over' (crash).

I ran memtest already and it said there wasn't a problem, the stress test for just cpu and fpu made my PC Freeze instantly but I managed to stop it and the GPU test caused my PC to kind of jitter but it was alright otherwise.

ok next try resetting CMOS if you havent already. turn off PC, remove power cable from back, remove CMOS battery from mobo and leave it out for 20 mins, put it back in and restart, see if there are any improvements.
