PC Randomly Freezing

So for a few weeks now my PC will just randomly freeze. No matter what I am doing everything just stops responding though I can still move my mouse and click on the screen though nothing appears. Like I can drag my mouse to make the blue square thingy appear but not right click. I can't click on the task bar anything. It happens while gaming also and it says display driver in the bottom right screen stopped responding but has recovered. Also I think it may have something to do with my main monitor, like for example when I first boot up my PC I have to go to the nvidia control panel and change the Digital Vibrance because my colors look washed out. After my PC freezes the colors go back to looking washed out even though the Digital Vibrance is still at what I set it as. As soon as I movie it even 1% it instantly goes back to normal. I have no idea what is happened and what like any input on what I can try to do to stop this from happening.

`Thanks

1 - Bad Driver

2 - Bad GPU

3 - Bad PSU

1) What Driver specifically? I have the latest drivers for the GPU though what else?

2) Possibly though I want to rule this out last.

3) It better not fucking be, just got done with an RMA with this and has worked just fine so far.

Bad GPU, almost 80% certain.

Oh I might want to add this started to happen AFTER I installed my new SSD... Though why would it say Display Driver crashing?

Damn, i'm having this same problem but instead there is not monitor washed out part. It really does not make sense in my case, my cpu just had its thermal paste reapplyed with a new cooling system, i just got a new PSU at 750wt's, and my graphics card has never had problems before, can really run anything, and is only 7 months old. I have no idea the time between freezes for you, but for me it is random, although always around 10 seconds after startup. If anyone has a good fix then it would be DOUBLY appreciated.

It looks as if the peasants have risen up, and found swords!


But their sword's look a little short, if you know what I mean!


Good! The squires need training anyway!

Driver issues don't tend to be this horrible, yea maybe crashes and freakouts but i don't see it interfering with your pc that much(colours), maybe try pulling out the old onboard graphics?

 

It would say display drivers crashed because the driver is asking for something from the GPU and it cannot carry out the reply, then it goes to error loops and pulls itself out.

Freezing is also a symptom of a bad drive

Could be... I'll see what happens if I move everything over to my HDD one day and later see what happens if I try to do something without my GPU. Is there anyway to check if my drive is bad without just making an assumption?

Yeah they seem pretty random for me, freezes for may 10-15 seconds then back to normal.

SMART chart, SSD-Z, the manufacturer's tools

Pretty close to my problem AGAIN.
