Any suggestions will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance :).


It freezes until i restart (click the restart button). I have a legit Windows 10, and all my games are legit. I do not have a antivirus, will dowload my usual antivirus program now.

I had a similar issue with my setup and I found it could have been one of two things, either you have a bad RAM module or your PSU is faulty.

The way I troubleshooted the issue was by removing all RAM modules and trying them one by one until I found the bad module. If you still have the issue with each unit it may be a bad PSU.
