For a while now my PC would freeze randomly during gaming, and even while internet browsing or idle. The screen would lock up, no audio out, no possible input. The only thing to do was reset with the power button.
I checked everything myself by swapping components with a friend, I ran stress tests, none of my hardware was faulty. I reinstalled Windows, it would still happen.
Eventually, it stopped even booting - it would POST, get to the BIOS screen and freeze.
After I had tried everything I could think of and had had enough, I took it to a PC repair place for diagnostics. They kept it for over 24 hours, ran diagnostics on everything, ran stress tests, reseated all the parts themselves, kept it running for hours at a time... And found nothing wrong. It would not freeze or crash or lock up or anything.
I take it home, and it runs fine for a while, I launch Overwatch and play for about half an hour... And it crashes again. Now it's back to the same issue of freezing at the BIOS screen.
I am at my wit's end! If anyone has any advice, I am all ears.
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
GPU: EVGA GTX 760
MOBO: Gigabyte FX990-UD3 rev 4.0
RAM: Corsair XMS3 DDR3
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250GB
HDD: WD 1TB
PSU: Corsair CX600 (UK)
Thank you.
