Computer freezing-New Build

[grenade252]

I just built this computer a few days ago. I5-4690, MSI R9 290x, G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4gb, Seagate Baracuda 1tb HDD, Asrock fatality killer h97 board, Rosewill 630 watt psu. 

 

A couple times now it has frozen, most recently just now. I was loading BF4 and had it reduced looking at the internet. The mouse became jerky and then it froze. I could then move the mouse fine but  do nothing else. The Hard Drive was constantly making noise like it was trying to do something. 

 

My mouse will also become jerky at random times. It does it more often in BF4. I thought it was the mouse but just got a new one and it's doing it too. Both are wireless, I plan to order a new wired one.

 

Could it be I bought a shitty HDD or something else? Thanks for any help.

Check your temperatures when you try to play BF or something.

gpu 74c. cpu 68c after playing bf4

Those temps are high, but i dont think its high enough to cause that

74C is pretty hot for a GPU aslo

 

I would make sure you have good airflow and stuff

Try turning down the texture quality in-game and see if that helps any, your harddrive might not have fast enough read speed to handle it. (I doubt this is it but it doesn't hurt to try.)

Yeah I'm planning on ordering some more fans soon, probably going to add 2 up top  to bring more air in and use the one on the back for outflow. Would this be good? I want to get an aftermarket cpu cooler too.

Yeah it should help. A good cpu cooler would help as well.
