Hi and first of all im so sorry if i opened the thread on wrong category

I just bought a gaming pc yesterday (custom build). Today i tried it on 3 games and everytime after 10-15 minutes of gameplay my pc completely freezes, all sounds coming from my earphones stops, and my pc requires a hard reboot.(btw i plugged off my monitor and plugged it back and it got the same screen)

I updated all my drivers, fresh installed windows 10 and 7 later on
disabled fast boot on bios.

My Specs:
CPU: i5 6402p
GPU: EVGA GTX 950 SSC
RAM:Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB
Motherboard:Asus B150M Pro Gaming

Im really confused and stressed about this issue, my gpu runs 70-72° and my cpu 45-50° while gaming.

Please help me fix this issue dear tomshardware users!

If your power supply is no good, then yes, it could get hotter and hotter until it overheated after 10 mins, causing your PC to freeze.

BIOS problems are unlikely to cause games to work perfectly for 10 mins, then suddenly stop.

I would take a peek at Device Manager. It sounds like it could be a bad motherboard driver
