Whilst i am gaming my PC will randomly freeze and lock up, becoming completely unresponsive. The screen freezes at whatever part of the game i managed to get up to, sound stops, the PC stops accepting Keyboard input and i am forced to reset the computer using the power button.
When i check event viewer there are never really any error messages except the ones created by me forcing the computer to restart.
I originally had this issue on windows 8.1. It was around the time i just upgraded a large amount of my PC (Graphics, Motherboard, Memory, CPU). It seems as though i am able to play directx 10 games fine and without problems, but when i try a Directx 11 game i run into these crashes and lockups anywhere from 5 mins to over an hour into gameplay. The best example of this i can think of is GTA:5, when i set it to Dx10 it runs fine. Change to DX11 and lockups.
I upgraded to windows 10 hoping it would solve my issues but instead they just continued on. I have spent months working on solving this issue to no avail. during this time i have reinstalled every driver atleast 10 times over, Repaired, Reset and Reformatted windows 10 countless times, reseated the memory and ran memory checks, reseated the graphics card, Flashed the BIOS, Validated the game files in steam and played games on both recommended settings and Low settings.
Most recently i have Reformatted my HDD and performed a clean install of Windows 8.1, reinstalled all the latest drivers, reinstalled steam and a game and the problem still persists.
Please if anybody has any suggestions on how i can fix this problem, i'll try anything.
I also apologise for the wall of text and many possible typos, its been another long night of blind troubleshooting
