Right now I am currently having my computer freeze about every 5-10 minutes, and I can't find the problem. I am aware of all the stuff it could be, but I am unknowledged in how to test some of the things. I am currently thinking it could be a capacitor on my mobo, because when I was trying to overclock about a month ago, the motherboard wouldn't accept any changes to the voltage. Right now everything is stock, and my cpu is on the stock cooler instead of its normal water because of maintenance. I have run crystal disk and my hdd is fine, and its currently running memtest so far with no errors. I also ran a memory check from windows with no errors. I'm not sure if it is related, but about a week ago my computer crashed twice in about an hour while I was playing Dirt Showdown from a cpu temperature overload, though that hasn't happened again since. I also think it could be the psu, because I have had my computer a year now, and since it supposedly only puts out around 600 watts or so instead of the advertised 750, and it could have lost some wattage over a year. Also, my computer uses about 550 watts. If you guys know a way to test how much the psu is putting out or whether or not the capacitors are bad please enclose that
