PC keep freezing randomly

[uwotm869]

So this issue has been happening for some time, and I’m finally getting sick of it

 

What happens is; When I’m playing a game (happens on every game i play) in this case it was fallout 4, game will be running fine all of a sudden my computer freezes (time before freezes can't be made due to the fact it is seemingly random sometimes i can run it for hours other time less then 20min before it freezes) sometimes you can hear a sharp ripping noise from the audio when it freezes, and my power reset switch no longer works so i have to hold power button for around 5-15 seconds.

 

So I ran

 

HDTune; No Errors

Memtest (windows); No Errors

Furmark; Nothing unusual

Loaded Asus optimized defaults; still freezes after doing this

 

SPECS:

Mobo; Asus Z170M PLUS

CPU: Core i5 6500

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 (GV-N970WF3OC-4GD)

Memory; 16GB corsair vengeance lpx DDR4 at 2400MHZ (2x8GB)

PSU: Corsair VS550

OS: Win 10 64-Bit

 

Anyone know a solution to this? or has experianced this before?

Have you tried running just one stick of ram? Seems like a weird bug, could be software related but I'm just taking a stab in the dark

Running one stick seems to be fine, so i assume the other stick is either faulty or unstable?

have you tried running the other stick on it's own? or trying out different configurations of them
