Windows 10: PC freezing

By freezing i mean that nothing responds and i have to hold down the power button to shut it down. The PC will randomly freeze when i'm doing small things, such as browsing or chatting on Discord. It will take maybe 3-4 hours before doing so, but it get especially bad if i dare boot up a demanding game. I can't play for more than five to ten minutes before a freeze occurs. I've posted my parts and all of that fun stuff below!CPU - Intel Core i5-10600k Mobo - MSI MAG B560 Torpedo Ram - Kingston HyperX Fury, 2 x 4 GB GPU - EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3gb PSU - Corsair RM750 80+ GoldStorage - 250 GB SS

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

GPU-Z 0.7.8 / 0.7.9 / 0.8.0 Bios reading not possible GTX670-solved with gpu-z 0.8.1

@Maban - does GPU-Z fail the same way for you the way it does for me? I.e. total system freeze/lockup, requiring a hard reset?

@W1zzard - I will try the suggested steps later today, as I am not near that PC at the moment.
