what the fuck is wrong with my shit senpai, almost everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, my PC will completely lock up
the image in the screen will freeze and nothing else will happen, sound stops, theres no blue screen, and the only way to fix it is to turn the PSU off and back on
ive tried replacing my RAM, reverting my GPU and CPU overclocks, running RAM below spec etc and it still happens. what the fuck is this?

Your GPU is dying.

its a 970 ive had for less than two years, im pretty sure this happened before i got it as well

cpu: 4790K
gpu: 970
mobo: asus maximus gene 7
is it a driver conflict? i havent messed with chipset drivers or anything, but i know this has happened over MANY different gpu driver versions and windows versions. happened on windows 8 as well

is the hdd in use during the freeze?

yeah, both my drives are. i just replaced one of them so it could be the SSD my os is on?

Diagnosing a faulty piece of hardware becomes infinitely easier if you have multiple computers. Just change parts one at a time until the problem stops. You could use a friend's help with that if the parts are compatible. Actually I'm not sure if that even qualifies as diagnosing.

what OS?

Sounds like you are using Windows. It's a way to make people restart the machine

windows 10

yeah no its not

it could be a RAM "bomb" then
when ram gets continually used up the pc just bricks because no memory to operate which you can observe with this thread from some hours ago

is there a way to fix this? i just swapped 16gb new memory in and it still happens

You have windows 10, it's normal windows 10 behavior. My computers with windows 10 also does the same thing once in a while.

highly doubt that

Mine doesn't ever since I started using SSDs.

OP, you are using Enterprise with as much bullshit disabled as possible, right? If not, reinstal w10 and use Enterprise you dumb fuck

Highly doubtful, I have a fucked 7900GS on my w10 machine (yes you read that right) and it never freezes

i would suspect bad psu more than anything.

Might just be it
OP what PSU do you have?

evga 650w

cpu freezing. Probably heat throttling or asking it to use more threads than it's designed to.

works on my machine :^)

This is tricky, I suggest taking out your GPU in the meantime to see if this still happens. When all else fails just re-install your OS because it might also be the drive.

same problem OP but i notice mine locks up like 99% when i open up a new tab, ive tried chrome and ie and they do the same thing, i have 12 gb of ddr4 so im not a pleb that has low ram that makes the computer crash

ohh and yes at the beginning it felt random (im the same guy with 12gb ddr4), but not im sure it has something to do with windows and ram, i transplanted the hdd (with windows already installed in it) and a graphics card to another pc, and i would get the random lock ups with no blue screens

(same ddr4 12gb dude) so im 99% sure its windows being gay, did you by any chance also get your OS from P1r8bae like i did, could be windows FINALLY being unstable unless you have a legit copy after some random windows update that you've downloaded, im going to do a fresh install of windows WITH THE FREE WINDOWS TRIAL WITH WATERMARK and see if it helps

if its not that (same cuck again), then its probably our GPUs user, i have a 7600k that i can run off integrated which im going to do for the next week and see if i get any crashes (and yes we have the same problem user if youre still hesitant to believe it, ive had this thing for about a month now and i all you've said is the same that has happened to me)
