Hey guys! I built a computer for my son about a year ago and recently it's been freezing a lot no error, no way to go back to Windows, keyboard seems to lock up (caps, etc..) as well.

specs:
Ryzen 5 5600

silicon power 32gb ddr4 3200

Gigabyte B550M Aorus elite am4

MSI MAG A650BM 650W

Mushkin m.2 1tb PCIe gen3 

DIYPC MA08-BK Black USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower (huge mistake, terrible airflow)

 

and RX 590 8G (this is the only part I bought second-hand, used)

the freezes are fairly random, but I know for a fact when trying to play Fortnite, a bit after starting a session (dropping off the bus) it freezes.
but my son mostly plays Roblox/Minecraft, seems like it happens in Roblox now, but not so much in Minecraft, and Im fear it's the graphics card, which is not a huge deal (rx590 is what? $60 now?) but can't really test it since I don't have any other graphics card.. is there any error log somewhere I can access to see what could have been the cause?

No Blue Screen or anything?

How much storage is left on the SSD?

 

I would say to check the health of the SSD and the RAM first, then the RX-590.
