Build was done by hand.
AMD x4 860k
MSI A68HM-E33 V2
Trident x 2x8 16GB ddr3
Evga Geforce GTX 960 scc 2GB
thermaltake smart 700watt power supply
coolmaster elite 350
HDD \ 500GB

Pc is pretty new got some parts from online sourses and been using it alot did the build a week ago i play on a weird res 1920x1280 using a older samsung flat screen tv

issue only happeneds on 3 games so far... 1 is battlefield 4 at ultra and Tera at max and space engineers on low(cause it doesnt matter to me) my card temp is around 35 when playing the games my CPU sits around 70-80 when playing cause of the stock cooling.. it happeneds usually after around 30-2 hours of playing just a freeze and i have to restart the pc when it does it. ctrl+alt+del doesnt do anything nor does windows key


Anyone know a program that i can in a way like this... hardware monitor like HWmonitor but one that logs everything and saves the logs to a file and saves at intervials so when it does freeze the file will around 10 seconds from the freeze or during the freeze.. i think its the cpu maybe the temp spikes ususally its 65 idle not really nice to be so hot when my buddy with lquid coolant is always at 20 and doesnt make it over 30

Not really sure about a program for logging, but as for the hooking issue, honestly it's your components. No offense to you, as i started out gaming with a x4 860k and a r7 260x but that processor is pretty weak, combed with a 960, a card that can really only hold 60fps in a game like bf4 at 1080 with medium - high settings and your gonna have a bad time. The 960 is a good card for 1080, i bought the asus strix model of it and had it for a while until i bumped up to a 980 ti. The issue is, your playing at a werid res thats higher 1080 and trying to max games on ultra, fps dips and hooks should be expected. The build isn't all that bad, but really you just need to turn down your graphics settings a bit, maybe try installing NZXT's cam...

These sorts of issues are nearly always heat, power, or memory related. Your PSU should be sufficient. Your CPU is getting too hot, you really want it much cooler than that. It needs to be under 60C for best, long term stability and performance.

You can also test your memory with an app like memtest (see below). In your case, this appears to be heat related.
