So basically about 2-3 weeks ago my computer started freezing while im in game playing league of legends, the build is about 6 months old ive had no issues with it so far up until now, at first i thought it was a one off then about a week later it happened again and now ive just had it happen 3 times in one game in which i have needed to restart my pc every time, ive tried reinstalling my drivers from scratch and also the game as i thought it was an issue with the game at first now i doubt it as literally last game i waited and it recorrected itself i finished the game and i could not use anything on my task bar at all. Im not sure what to do ive monitored temps as i thought it might be due to overheating but my cpu and gpu temps rarely go over 60 degrees even in game. My build is as follows i5 6600k, msi gtx 970 16gb ddr4 ram z170x gaming 3 mb skylake, 500 gb samsung ssd 1tb harddrive 4 case fans 2 ins 2 outs i really need help i have no clue what it could be

Do you often install programs, even if you use them twice? It might be malware or a corrupt OS (among a billion other things). If it's not too big of a deal I would start with a fresh Windows install.
