Over the last couple months ive been saving to slowly upgrade my computer. As of now, the only thing that is left from that computer is the hard drive and the dvd drive.
Specs are: amd fx 4350 cpu, gtx 750ti gpu, asus m5a78l-m motherboard, 8gb hyper fury ddr3 ram, 500w power supply, 64 gb ssd (which I used for installing windows 10), and a 1tb hard drive from the old computer (which I formatted to get rid of all old files).
Now to describe the issue; everytime I launch H1Z1 King of the Kill, (I tried battlefield 4 as well, but no other games) it will load to the main menu and then my computer completely freezes. I cant control alt delete or anything. I've bounced around with several different versions of gpu drivers, but every time I get the same result. I also thought it was maybe because I was using old ram that wasn't the same hz as my motherboard, so I went out earlier and bought some new ram. But that didn't fix it either. Any one have any ideas?

Turned out it was my hard drive. I installed h1z1 onto the SSD, and no more crashing! Except occasionally it will act strange, sometimes when the computer goes to sleep it'll wake up randomly in bios and ask me to "choose a boot device and press any key to continue" or something along the lines. When that happens I just have to restart the computer and it boots fine. And it also, it will sometimes crash completely in h1, but I cant tell if that's cause the game is poorly optimized or if its my computer.
