Windows 10: Windows freeze then black screen

Hi,


Since yesterday, Windows (x64 Pro) keeps freezing with a black screen while gaming (I have to do a forced restart or shutdown), at random intervals of time, sometimes I can play for about 5 minutes, other times for about 40 minutes, other times for even more. Until yesterday I didn't had any problems with it. Beside what I did in the following list, is there anything else I could try to do to fix it?


What I tried:

- Running "sfc /scannow" command with admin rights;

- Running "Windows Memory Diagnostic";

- Reinstall the latest video driver;

- Running "Error checking" on all partitions;

- Removing temp files;

- Watching temps for both GPU and CPU, which both were at ~60 C (while gaming);

- Reducing GPU frequency by 25%.

:)
