I built a pc a while ago and i had no problems what so ever but then all of a sudden when i'm playing a game whether it's a really low performance game or a high end game it freezes my pc and i have to manually restart it.
I have stress tested the cpu with prime95, hot cpu tester pro, heavyload etc.
Even though it is apparently pointless I used HWmonitor to check my psu stats were within reason.
I have monitored my cpu and gpu temps constantly and they are fine.
I did a memtest and it showed 0 errors.
My pc has been cleaned.
I reinstalled all the hardware and did a clean install of windows 8.1 and since upgraded to windows 10.
I replaced the HDD a while ago and the problem has persisted.
The motherboard doesn't need to be updated because it was working fine out of the box a long time before this problem existed.
As far as i can see every component is working and i completely reinstalled all the software so there should be nothing wrong so i'm at a loss for what to do.
Pc specs:
Cpu: AMD FX 9590
CPU fan: R1 Ultimate
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
RAM: 1 stick of kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L Non-ECC CL11 DIMM 1.35V Memory
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB
the HDD is a decent brand and new
PSU: Corsair cx750w (this might be the problem but it's only 1 year old or so)
I also tried reinstalling all the microsoft redistributables and it seemed to fix the problem but it i believe i was just lucky for a while.
One more piece of information that may be relevant is that the event viewer shows a warning event id:19 which seems to pop up only when i play games and not when i'm stress testing the CPU with prime95 etc.
Help will be much appreciated thank you.
