Hi, I've been having issues that I can't quite figure out on my own.
My computer freezes during any point of use or even while it's not in use.
There is no crash code or blue screen to follow, just stops on the last frame and does not play any sound other than a high pitched whine from the speakers. Mouse and keyboard are unresponsive.

It seems to happen more often when playing more straining games, such as fallout 4, how ever is not limited to that
My best guesses are conflict between gpu and mobo.
I've been dealing with this for at least half a year now and would have tried switching parts out if i had close to equal quality parts to do so.

Please, if you have any advice or ideas i would be happy to hear it. if you need any additional information please feel free to let me know and i will address it as soon as i can.

Thank you for your time.

Things I've tried
_________________
Mem test- no issues
checked temps and they are all good
ccleaner Cleaned and reg fixes
Malwarebytes full scan - no issues found
lowering quality of games - still freezes with in an hour or so
Ran chkdsks on all hdds, they were all fine, 0 bad sectors.
Currently considering reinstalling windows 7 on a different hdd...

Thanks, I had forgotten to do that, I have edited my main post with the results however, I feel in the case of computers reducing the possible options that might cause failure is a daunting and somewhat negligible task

This i still unsolved and any further advice suggestions tips comments or any other form of feedback is very appreciated.
the freeze is not easily replicated as it seems to be mostly random i have gone for weeks without any issue since i avoid playing taxing games due to it seems to happen more often when playing games like fallout 4, though i can't test other gpu's since the other ones i own won't even run it.
