    Custom Built PC Freezes and Restarts During Gameplay


    hey! i just inherited some PC parts from a family member, and decided to replace my old one using these new parts. everything is great so far, other than the fact my PC will randomly freeze up, and reboot while playing some games. I tried to do some research and troubleshooting of my own, and i got it to consistently occur while playing a game and watching a YouTube video after around the 10 minute mark.

  2. Custom PC Freezing

    Hello,

    I recently built a custom PC and have been having substantial difficulty running it. I have loaded a USB with windows 10 installation media and necessary drivers. When I boot from the USB, I find that the computer freezes almost instantaneously. However, if I force restart several times, it eventually will not freeze. Sometimes I can use it for hours without any freezing. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this though I have tried some things.

    HWmonitor suggests that nothing is overheating except for a pin or two that I suspect is a bad sensor

    I ran a windows memory test that found no problems.

    What can I do? Also, I apologize if this is not a focused question for this community.

    Thanks,

    Stanton
