Windows 10: PC Locking up

So I've had this issue for about a year at this point and I have tried everything that I can possibly think of to fix the issue: whenever I'm playing a game, completely random, my computer freezes except for my mouse and keyboard. I can close most apps but they still remain active, and whenever I click on something it responds the first time but not on subsequent tries. I can open the task manager but if I try going through the tabs, it freezes as well. My mic doesn't work and audio continues to playCPU: Ryzen 7 2700xGPU: EVGA 1070Ram: Corsair vengeance 3200mgz 48gbMotherboard: ASUS ROG B450-F

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??

 

PC Build Steps

1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount
