PC freezes randomly

R1V1B · November 2, 2022

Im having an issues when my PC fully locks up (Freezes), mouse stops working, ESC doesn't work and the only way to fix the issue is to hold down the power button to fully turn off the PC and turn it back on. The freeze can happen when gaming, browsing the internet and even sometimes just booting into windows is enough for it to stop working.

I've swapped over power supplies, changed RAM & CPU and lastly done a full fresh install of Windows 10, clean install of all my drivers and nothing seems to have been fixed. Im at a loose end of what my issue is and what I can do to fix it. Any help on this issue would be amazing.

Specs: I9-10900k (Plenty cooling, under stress it sits at 80degrees), Palit RTX 3080 (owned since new), 32GB RAM (Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3600mhz) & 850w Corsair PS.

Check bios, make sure the CPU is running base clocks, no auto OC or optimizer is on. Could be your boot drive as well. Any changes recently?

My CPU's have always been over locked and never caused an issue before. When I did the fresh windows install I done that on a brand new SSD. Only major change I can think is going from 3200mhz ram to 3600mhz ram
