Hey guys,

so today I was playing PUBG as usual and the game freezed as well as the audio and monitor said no signal. the mouse and the keyboard did not respond as well but the pc didnt shut down or restart I had to manually turn it off by the power button and turn it on again. I've been having problems after that whenever I launch PUBG or even GTA V it runs for a while then the same freezing issue. it occurs only while gaming.I have tried Memory test diagnostic, removing drivers via DDU and reinstalling, chkdsk, anti virus scan and running furmark test which surprisingly did not freeze the pc. what could be the issue? my complete specs are

i5 2400 @ stock

Asrock H61MGS

msi armor rx 480 4gb

8gb ddr3 ram

antec 520w high current gamer

today I have noticed that one of my ram slots went bad Im only using a single stick right now in the other slot. maybe this could have been the issue? will have to wait and see for a few days
