My PC has recently started to freeze randomly. It happens just whenever it feels like it I guess. Sometimes it'll go 24 hours without doing it, sometimes it does it 3-4 times a day. The screen goes pure white, sometimes checkered almost, and locks up. The only thing I can do is reset and try again.
I've eliminated a few reasons. It's not heat, my computer is staying about 30-40 C idle and never goes above 60 C while in heavy use. Usually peaks at 54 C while stressed. I don't think it's the RAM either, I just installed some brand new sticks and the problem didn't change at all.
It started one day after I took it outside to dust it out, it has been doing it off and on ever since. I thought it was overheating at first so I installed a Hyper 212 EVO cooler and while that did lower my temps by about 25 C, it didn't stop the randomly freezing.
Here's my specs:
CPU- AMD FX-8150
GPU- R9 280x
RAM 16 GB 4x4 Kingston HyperX FURY
Boot drive: 60 GB SSD w/ Windows 7
UPDATE: It seems to crash most frequently after I play a game for a while. I can play the game for hours but shortly after I exit them it freezes.
