Problem: So i have had several problems rise recently. First of all, whenever I'm using audio over HDMI to let's say watch movies on my TV, 80% of the time the pc BSODs within 10 minutes. Always when watching Netflix or PT, sometimes also on YT or Twitch.
Secondly I have issues when gaming. Namely the PC blackscreens randomly in the middle of a game for about 30 seconds. After that it puts me on the desktop, but all apps stay open. When I try opening up the game (CSGO, R6S, GTAV) it seems like it's opening, but no matter how long I wait, the app wont show up and I keep on staring at the desktop. A restart of the game helps, but sometimes the issue comes back within 15 minutes, sometimes longer.
Now the most recent issue started today in CSGO. Namely the game freezes whenever I kill anyone, whenever a grenade is thrown/explodes or sometimes even randomly when moving. It got a bit better the more I played, but still after a few games the issue persisted.
Troubleshooting: I have tried reseating the GPU, SSD, RAM. I've also tried reinstalling the graphics drivers and games themselves. Also I tried downclocking the GPU, but that actually made the issue worse.
I can try in the future to sub in another GPU to see if that's faulty. I can try installing OS/games on my secondary drive to see maybe my SSD is failing.
What I am looking from here is to just locate the problem so I'd know what to replace/have fixed.
Thank you all in advance
