Specs:
GTX 970
8 gb HyperX ddr4 2133mhz
i-3 6100 dual core @ 3.7 ghz
So, every about 20 minutes or so (doesnt have to be 20, can be 1, 5 or can last all day before freezing) my computer just freezes. Most of the time it's while I'm playing league, but it happens a lot just in desktop mode as well. The freeze normally freezes all programs for about 30 seconds to a minute, while I'm in league and the computer freezes, I die, feed the other team's carry and ruin the game. Which is obviously extremely frustrating. In desktop mode I notice the freeze when tabs dont load. I can open the other windows I have open until it just stops showing animations, so it's kinda like it slows down to a halt.
So pretty much, the computer freezes all active processes. I don't know if this is a problem with the hardware or software, but I'm suspecting it's the CPU because it is a dual core and whenever I play games it hovers around 80-90%
The weird thing is that when I went on vacation (out of town) for christmas break and came back, the freezes didnt start back up again for a couple weeks. I suspect it's maybe because I gave the components a little while to rest (idek if thats a thing).
Yeah so I don't know what's happening, I've searched google but it never tells me exactly what I should do in this situation to find out what's causing the freezing, it just says oH YourE HaRD DriVE is DeFectIve
which I'm pretty sure is not the issue because all 3 of my drives are less than 3 years old.
I know this probably sounds like a jumbled mess but I'm hungry and pissed that my computer that I spent all this money on is just deciding to ruin my favorite past time. So, can someone let me know of a program I can run to see what's wrong? I already have afterburner but that doesn't help because it just shows the percentage of ram gpu and cpu used the moment BEFORE the freeze which is also extremely frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.
