Hello,
About a month ago I bought and built a new computer(except the HDD,which is old). After a few hours of literally doing anything, browsing to playing games, the computer freezes and crashes. In most cases it stays frozen and I have to force shut using the power button. Sometimes the computer will crash and restart but with no display. I have updated all the drivers. I haven't overclocked so the temperatures are also normal. Im not sure what the problem is since all of these parts are new.
PC specs:
CPU- AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600
GPU: Inno3D GeForce GTX 1070Ti
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 3000 MHz
Motherboard: Asrock A320M Pro4
Cooler: Stock
HDD: Segate 1TB
PSU: EVGA 500W 80 Plus

I believe your PSU is the problem. I don’t think 500W is enough to handle your current setup. Believe me on this I experienced a similar problem and it was my power supply.

No, it's running at 2666, I got a blue screen when I tried to run it at 2933. My ram can support upto 3000 though.
