PC freezes after couple minutes on cold boot, works fine after restarting

[jvkeizer]

So just like the title says, since a week or so, my pc has been freezing on me every single time it cold boots. It works fine for a couple of minutes and then after a while the screen turns black.

 

I was on ts a couple times it happened and my mates could hear me a few seconds after the screen turning black and then they couldn't hear me anymore. But whenever I had music playing, it would just continue. Also whenever I press caps lock on my keyboard, the light doesn't turn on or off so something is freezing for sure, apart from the screen going black. So I just hit my reset button when this happens and after that I can use my PC just fine for hours and nothing happens.

 

Already ran malwarebytes and avast and they didn't find anything. I'm thinking it might be hardware but I got no idea which component, any thoughts?

 

P.s. I also have an issue where sometimes (like once every hour or so) I get no audio for a second or two on my pc, don't know if it's related though

 

These are my components:

• Zalman Z11 Plus
• Intel Core i5-3470 (with stock cooler, not a lot of possibilities for overclocking anyway)
• XFX R9 280X Double Dissipation
• 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz red
• Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3P
• 240GB Crucial M500
• 1TB Seagate Barracuda
• 320GB Seagate OEM HDD
• NZXT Hue
• Corsair CX430

isnt a cold boot where the cpu gets to cold to start up when using phase 3 cooling?

Set your RAM up right.  Voltages, timings, speed, ect.

 

Edit: it can also be driver related, but I'm going to assume you did that right.

Could be a driver issue maybe.
