Hello guys,
recently i changed my gpu, my motherboard and psu but the same problem occurs, while starting a game or just surfing the internet, the screen freezes in random colors and then restarts. HDD works at 100% and i have done everything like disabling superfetch, i also have reinstaled windows (format), could this be the HDD??

use Resource Monitor in windows and click on the disk tab and sort by bytes written or bytes read and see what the issue is. also, windows runs horrible on 4GB ram, needs 8GB. Win10's sweet spot is 8GB, prefer 16 or more though

for me it seems typical overheat. But what does have this problem.... please check temps, if you can have it constantly on second screen to see if it does happen on certain temp.

make yourself bootable USB and try to browse net from pendrive live USB. if its HDD then no problems should appear there.

I believe he already has 8gb. He said: "2 x 2 kingston 1333hz and 2 x 2 corsair 1333hz"

chrisgvamp,

The mix of 2 different RAM kits could also be an issue. I would take 1 pair our, test it for a while and see if it crashes. If everything is fine then swap out the ram and try the other kit. Your PC is going to run slow with only 4gb at a time but the mix matched pairs may be the issue.
