Hey all, ever since a couple weeks ago my PC has randomly been freezing/locking up, I'll be doing something and all of a sudden nothing works, I can't load web pages, I can't open programs, all my apps freeze, I can't even press the windows button. I am unsure what is wrong, I've done a little bit of troubleshooting, I've reset bios, reset windows, reinstalled ram, used a different PSU but nothing has worked, if anyone could help it would be appreciated a lot, my specs are:

CPU- Ryzen 7 3700x

Cooler- Hyper 212 LED

Mobo- Strix B450-F

GPU- 1060 Gaming X 3gb

Ram- 3200mhz 2x8gb HyperX Fury

PSU- Corsair MWE White 700w

HDD- 1tb WD Blue

SSD- 512gb Transcend SATA SSD

I also have 4 upHere case fans so airflow is not an issue

 

Thanks :)

Traditional most common cause of that is a memory problem, but PSU problems have caught up and passed it for frequency. Those are places I would start looking anyway.  Software is another one. I’d go memory, software, PSU not on grounds of likelihood but on cost and ease of checking.  PSU is easier and more likely than software, and perhaps memory as well, but it costs money. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
