Hello, for a long while now my computer has been freezing. It may have started happening ever since I upgraded to windows 10 and that is the furthest back I could remember the freezing (thought I can't remember if it did before then as my memory is poor). My computer says all my drivers and devices are up to date. I made sure I had all of the software I needed, etc. Nothing seems to be working. I was told it could be due to overheating of gpu, or cpu. I checked both during gaming sessions and they were both fine.
I will list my parts as maybe some of them aren't compatible with windows 10.
CPU: Amd FX-8320
GPU: Asus GTX 660
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
I'd also like to mention that the freezing is usually followed up with a buzzing noise and freezes at whatever it is I have been doing (Usually it's Fallout 4, but sometimes other games). One other time I had gotten an error that said CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error. My computer then restarted and it hasn't happened again.
I have tried googling these problems and tried about everything that has been recommended. I would go back to windows 8, but it doesn't allow me as it's been over a month since installation, and I do not have the windows 8 installation disc at this moment.
If you need any more information, or can help me I would appreciate it a bunch.
