So this problem has been happening for a little over a year and I'm now addressing it. This problem usually occurs playing games such as League of Legends and Apex Legends, but I do believe I was working on Houdini and this happened as well. What happens is that I would be playing these games, and everything would just freeze. The screen will be frozen on whatever the last frame played was, there is no sound, and all my hardware turns off (keyboard and mouse LED lights go off). Every now and then in my headset when this happens there will be a quick static sound, which is weird because my headset is wireless (Logitech g933). The only way to get out of unfreezing my computer is by holding the power button on my case and restarting my computer. Lastly when it turns back on, it probably takes close to a minute or more to turn back on, which is odd because normally it is under 5-10 seconds when I first turn it on. This happens maybe 1-3 times a week.

Do you have any OC's? If so, revert to stock everything. How are the temps during load? Have you tried new thermal compound and reapplying the cooler?

Everything was default settings. I'm going to play some games until it happens. Right now, I have MSI Afterburner logging GPU usage and temps and Corsair Link to watch CPU usage and temps.

So it happened again today and temps on CPU cores  never exceeded 73 degrees Celsius. The load never exceeded 70% either. Temps on my GPU never exceeded 63 degrees.

Again, after my comp froze, it took over 2 minutes for my comp to reboot.
