I have been experiencing freezes whenever I play games, and sometimes even when watching videos. I have tried reseating my GPU, but have gotten no luck with that, and have also tried reseating my CPU, and RAM. I also suspected that there were thermal issues, and have even tried bringing the GPU fan to 100%, but the temps stayed around 66 celsius, along with the CPU sitting around 60. Also, all of the hardware is new, other than the GPU.

PC Specs:
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
AMD FX-8350
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1666 8GB
Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD
Asus M5A97 R2.0
Windows 8.1

Close down any software that is non essential and try again, could be an app/driver that's causing this
