Okay, so this issue has been plaguing me for a little while. I would say I've officially run out of talent when it comes to troubleshooting it - I would love some advice or help.
The issue is as follows:
When playing games, most notably GTA5 and Rainbow 6: Siege, after anywhere between 1 minute to 1 hour, the system hangs/freezes, and becomes unresponsive to all input. Sometimes I can wait it out and it will crash to desktop, other times it will need full system reset to get going again.
I have tried a number of different solutions, listed with the outcome of the test.
1) Cleaned out inside of PC. | Issue persists.
2) Swapped out GPU for known good one. | Issue persists.
3) Swapped out RAM for known good. | Issue persists.
3) Swapped out PSU for known good one. | Issue persists.
4) Reinstall games. | Issue persists.
5) Reinstall Windows 10. | Issue persists.
6) Replaced OS with Windows 7. | Issue worsens - crashes happen quicker and get BSOD after a few minutes of freezing.
Monitored internal temps before and during crash, no component gets hotter than 70 degrees C.
Everything running the latest drivers.
System specs
AMD FX 8350
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
EVGA Nvidia Geforce 760 OC
8GB DDR3 RAM
600W Corsair PSU
Windows 10/Windows 7 (see above)
Any other info I will be happy to provide, I'm completely stumped but I imagine a fresh set of eyes might help.
Any help is appreciated!
