So I built my first gaming rig about 6 months ago, and over the past couple months I've been having complete screen freezes randomly.. they usually last about 20 seconds to a minute, there doesn't seem to be a certain situation that makes this happen and it only has happened playing wow and Diablo 3.. I don't know if the issue is with all games or not as these are the only two I play. Sometimes I will go a day or two without freezes and sometimes I'll only make it 20 minutes, I've tried everything I can think of and everything suggested to me. fixed registry errors, checked for malware, used ddu to Uninstall gfx drivers and reinstall I'm at a loss.. so here is my system and I hope someone can help me figure this out!
Also I have run checks on my hard drives and saw no issues

Windows 10
ASRock H170M Pro4s mobo
R9 280x dual x gpu
I5 6500 cpu
8g ddr4 ram
Xfx ts550w psu
250g ssd
1tb hhd

I have not tried another psu.. it is the only one I have, I thought the same thing at first and while most people said it is a lower watt psu, most said it should still be enough to run this system.. and crystaldisk saids both drives are good.

for those parts, the psu wattage sounds good to me

but the psu itself could be failing

also a good clena of the pc can help, while you are doing the clean, try to reseat the gpu in the pci express slot just to discard that as a possible source of problems
