This is my first system build that i built in april 2017. ever since i built it I've had a problem where my computer would randomly freeze up. Sometimes it would freeze 5 times a day and sometimes it wouldn't freeze at all for a few days. I assumed it was due to my PSU as i dropped it when building so i replaced which fixed the problem for about a week then it started again. I've done memory tests and tried re-plugging my GPU, 20+4 pin connector etc. The freezing occurs randomly regardless of if i'm playing games, watching youtube or just leaving it idle. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

Intel Core I5 6600k

Solution
Is your OS a clean install? Monitor CPU, ram, had usage and temp, voltage all the time. Check if you see anything abnormal before freeze.
