Hello and thankyou in advanced!

I have a problem with my PC, when playing heavy demanding games like Battlefield it all of a sudden freezes, Randomly no signs of strain or anything, can play in ultra at 120 fps because thats the sort of system i wanted, i can play up to 20 minutes and it will just freeze, all drivers are up to date. I have read on the forums that it may be the PSU but i have 2 (Corsiar 850rm & Corsair 1000i)

Specs

Processor: Intel Core i7-4790k @4GHz
MB: Asus z97 Deluxe
Ram: Hyper X-Fury 32gb
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
PSU: Corsiar 850RM

 
Solution
General maintenance like using a can of compressed air to get rid of dust from the inside of the PC, especially the dust built up and trapped in the heatsinks and fans.

Then, more likely in your situation, having to remove the CPU cooler, clean off the old thermal paste from the heatsink of the cooler and CPU with isopropyl alcohol using something which is lint-free (possibly even cotton buds), reapply thermal paste and reinstall cooler.
