Why does my computer keeps freezing?

[Merkot]

So a few days ago I just built my brand new computer. Specs are:

Ryzen 7 2700X

X370 msi carbon pro motherboard

16Gb 3000mhz t-force

650W Antec Edge 

 

Ever since I downloaded Windows 10 my computer consistently freezes every time I log into my windows, it freezes and I have to hard restart severals times to actually makes it work for only for 30minutes.

are you running a hdd or an ssd?

usually hdds are common culprits to freezing.

Another solution is to update drivers chipset ones(ahci driver,etc)

When it freezes does it shutdown on its own or does it freeze as in no mouse movement or anything.

To me it sounds like it could be the power supply acting up, I've seen systems freeze thanks to a faulty power supply.

why would an HDD cause freezing unless it's faulty? they work absolutely fine with any modern OS, they might be alot slower than SSDs but that doesn't mean Windows would crash due to them. Most HDDs are fast enough to handle Windows 10 easily, especially 7200rpm ones.

I had the same issue with my old 5k rpm drive with win10.

I am still trying to fix the issue, firstly I thought it was overheating of my gpu but it can’t be. I mean I’ve only install windows once and I still don’t understand. Should I tone down the overclock?

A m.2 Internal ssd as my boot drive

Then what should I do? Should I replug everything?

I'd start by checking all connections and maybe reseating the RAM/GPU

If that fails you could reseat to CPU as well, just don't forget to apply fresh thermal paste!

 

If that fails can you by any chance try another HDD/SSD to boot from, perhaps even another power supply.
