Computer Freezes up unexpectedly

[VanayadGaming]

Hello

 

My PC Specs: 

 

Kingston SSD 120 GB - boot / critical games

Hard disk Seagate Desktop HDD 2TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA-III

16gb RAM Crucial Balistix @ 1600mhz

GIGABYTE Radeon HD7970 OC WindForce 3X 3GB DDR5 384-bit - GV-R797OC-3GD

Ivy Bridge, Core i7 3770K 3.5 GHz

Super Flower Golden Green SF-650P14XE(GX) 650W 

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 - Z77 EXTREME4

Cooler Master HAF X

 

I have installed windows 10 64 bit with the upgrade tool from win7. I don't know if this affects anything, but it did happen only after this occurred. 

 

 

After a while playing /browsing on the PC, it freezes up. I don't know exactly why though. I did a Memtest and noticed my RAM had a lot of errors and such in them so I sent them back (my pc is 2 years old) and they sent new ones back, but the freezes keep popping up. After such a freeze, I restart the PC and my SSD won't be recognized, hence I think my SSD has some problems...but at the same time if I install the SSD on a laptop it works. (Though sometimes the laptop does not recognize it as well, but a restart always fixes that). So...are there tools to check the life of an SSD/ errors with the SSD ? What other problems could cause such things ? Could it be that it is just because of Windows 10 ?  

 

Please help,

Vanayad

Have you done any overclocks on any components of the system?

minor OC on the GPU, but that is it...
