Depending on the game I play my computer will freeze. BF1 will freeze after about 5-10 mins of playing it. the monitor I play my games on will continue to show the game in a frozen state and my second monitor will go black.

Specs:

> Asus Z270 Maximus IX Hero
> Intel i7 7700k at 5.0ghz 1.35 vcore
> EVGA gtx 1080 ti FTW3
> G.Skill TridentZ 3200mhz (2x8)
> EKWB custom loop
> Rads: 1x120mm 1x360mm
> Corsair RM750i
> InWin 303

All help is welcome I'm under assumption it's my psu but I'm not sure...

I have an old Asus motherboard that lets me save BIOS settings to recall later under "Advanced Settings". I have to believe the Maximus does as well. Since what you have now is at least somewhat stable (maybe completely stable, we don't know yet), I would suggest you save your settings if you plan to try out changes in clock (multiplier), memory speed, and/or CPU voltage. That way you can go back to those settings.

ive ran 3dmark stress tests 4-5 times consecutively and I'll usually play pubg for about 6-7 hours straight if not longer sometimes and never have a problem.

how do you set bios to default and what does it do?

I assumed you overclocked it yourself. If not, it may be kind of difficult. I've had overclocks that looked stable enough until I played some specific game for a while. I was able to confirm it was an overclock issue by resetting my BIOS to default and confirming the problem was not there with the offending game.

When you boot into BIOS, there is usually an option to load 'default' settings. Typically this sets CPU voltages and clock multipliers to default values instead of whatever "overclock" might be at play. Some BIOS lets you save whatever settings you have currently, which you can then recall later if whatever change you want to try (like the default thing) does not help.

The risk is resetting to default in BIOS is not a guaranteed cure-all. Kind of depends on the hardware you have. If, for example, your memory is not directly supported by the motherboard, default settings in BIOS might not be able to boot without further tweaking.
