I bought GTA V yesterday, and as soon as I launched it up, it was running very smooth, until i turned corners in my car. Then, the game froze completely. I couldn't Alt tab, or Ctrl+Alt+Del, so i had to hard restart my computer. ever since then, my pc will just randomy freezer all of the sudden, even just on the windows desktop. I have an MSI R9 390, AMD FX 6300 Black Edition, Asrock 970 extreme r2.0 motherbpard, 8 gb of Hyper X 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory, and a 500W Lepa Power supply.

That CPU is starting to get old... But I really don't think that would cause of crashes like that would be hardware related... What OS are you on? If its windows 10, do you get any error messages or BSODs? 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

You have computer aids!

It sounds like a virus with good timing

the other option is reinstall the drivers and do a system sweep for frags and scraps.

It isn't a virus, probably just some bad drivers. I had the same issue and had to work through some drivers and blue screens to fix it.

 

Scroll down to the second reply and follow the steps: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/142907-bsod-using-verifier-exe.html

 

This will blue screen your computer when you have an issue. Then you download blue screen viewer to see what the error code is. Once you google that error then you can work out the problem. Its a bit of an effort but it will fix it.

Couldn't I just take a picture of the error code?

Also, it doesn't blue screen, the screen just freezes, all sound stops, and if I leave it for a few minutes, it just stays on the exact same screen as where it froze in the first place.

I realise this, it basically crashes your computer but doesn't make it to the bsod. Verifier will blue screen your computer before the crash and let you know whats causing it. You can take a picture of the error code but blue screen viewer shows all the error codes, sometimes there is more errors than what the blue screen displays.
