My computer started randomly freezing this past week. I noticed it while playing rainbow six siege. I have had two main types of issues. The first is that the computer will randomly shut down and restart. If this happens I receive the windows was not shut down properly menu at which time you can boot windows normally. Sometimes this works the first time and then sometimes it restarts a few times and gives me the do you want to repair windows option but doesnt detect any issues. Again this happens mid game does not happen during any other computing tasks including video encoding.
The second is that I will be playing a game and it it locks up, the screen goes blank with some artifact lines and the sound locks up and buzzes. This is a hard lock and the only option is to manually restart/shutdown with the power buttons.
My specs are the following.
Windows 10
amd 8350
R9 380
12gb ram
120gb sandisk ssd
1tb wd hdd
netgear wnda3100v2 USB wireless adapter.
after the issues I reformatted and reinstalled windows 7. I have ran every scan and benchmark that I can get for free and have found no errors during any of the benchmarking/scanning. I ran 3dmark pcmark, memtest etc and all run flawlessly with no crash or errors. I used the computer non-gaming for a number of hours with no issues. I have also used a hardware monitor program and found no issues with over heating CPU is at peak of 65C and videocard was peaked at 66C.
I have not nor never overclocked anything on this system. The system is approximately 2 years old and the video card is less than 3 months old and I have not had any issues to this point.
I played one round of rainbow six seige with no issues. I then played mechwarrior online and had it crass twice in a row.
I initially thought it was a SSD or HDD error but at this point I am not sure. Any ideas?
