Hi there

I recently built my own computer with a Nvidia 750 GTX graphics card and AMD processor.

I'm not into computers that much but I have a problem where when I play games, they randomly freeze and everything on my PC stops work e.g Skype running in background. The screen stays on the last frame that was displayed and the mouse doesn't move. The PC stays on and the only way I can reset is is if I hold down the power button.

Any help at all would be perfect, thanks for your time.

how long does the game run for before this happens? what are your temperatures when running the game and not running the game? does this happen only in games or when watching youtube videos and web browsing?

also what amd processor do you have ? how much RAM? does the pc start back up as soon as you power it back on after this has happened ? have you added any new programs recently ? have you scanned for viruses/malware ? is this a custom built pc or one bought ready to use ?
