have you tried doing a clean install of windows 10

[desertcomputer]

CPU overheating = throttling? 

[suchamoneypit]

what is your RAM? what are temps like on everything (use MSI afterburner)?

have you tried doing a clean install of windows 10

i have windows 8.1 and i have not completely re installed because i reverted back to a time where im sure the problem did not exists but maybe its something i should try

[EvilLemur]

you should write down what time the pc freezing happens at and then go thru your event log and find if there is anything there causing it to hang. 

i would also suggest you install a program called HD sentinel to check your drives and make sure there not damaged.

a clean install would take some time, but it would almost definitely fix all your issues

 

how long has it been since you last did a clean install? quite a while im guessing

what do you mean event log i like in afterburner? i will right done when it happens when i have the chance to

[Enderman]

yeah well thats probably the issue then

 

its recommended that power users do a clean install every 1-2 years to keep everything running in optimal condition

 

over time stuff gets messed up unless you regularly check for errors, clean temp files, remove residual installations, etc...

well shoud'nt ccleaner or norton be able to pick that stuff up

dont think so amd is made to run pretty hot and its at stock

[Enderman]

ccleaner gets most temp files, norton is an antivirus

if you go into windows event viewer you should see all the errors that your system has

that's the kind of stuff that causes issues and needs to be fixed manually

 

or a reinstall fixes everything at once (except hardware problems, but i dont think thats the issue here)

where can i locate windows event viewer

[desertcomputer]

With stock cooler.. so it might be the problem. I had similar problem when with Fx6300 on stock.

where can i locate windows event viewer
