Computer Freezing Problem

[Bigpanda]

Hello everyone. 

So i am new to this Forum and I am in dire need of help. 

So I've had my PC I've personally build myself for about 1-1/2 years and I've been loving it 

But some times when i use my PC there are a lot of freezing that happens which freezes and stays frozen until you hard reset it or power it off 

This mainly happens when I play my video games, also streaming. I have an RGB keyboard which rotates around in a rainbow pattern and when my computer freezes

that also freezes, Its like my whole PC just freezes up and there's nothing I can do about it. I have uninstalled my CPU driver and reinstalled it which helped for about a couple months

but it had just recently reoccurred again. I have checked if I had any malware, and i'm pretty sure i don't because I ran a lot of security tests with AVAST. I've cleaned out my whole PC

such as all the unnecessary files, and all of the junk that's in my PC. Still freezes. It is very frustrating because all of my temps on my pc are very stable and they don't overheat at all. I dont think its a ram issue

im not sure if its a BIOS issue 

All of my software and drivers are all up to date. 

i just hope i can get some help before I format my HDD and My SSD as my final hope.

 

I will list my specs if anyone could help me out it would be fantastic.

Open Windows Memory Diagnostic and see if it picks up any memory issues. RAM issues whether it's incompatibility or defective modules can cause seemingly random lockups.

When that happened to me, I would get some BSOD's.

 

I would concentrate on that SSD/HDD... Broken files/executables won't show up that often in security checks.

 

What I would do in your situation, is migrate your SSD to your HDD, maybe on a new partition. Unplug the HDD, install windows on that SSD with all updated drivers and such, and try to get them freeze ray moments again. If it's fine for a week or so, you know you had some kind of software problem/corrupted file. If the problem didn't get fixed, migrate back and look for a different problem. But I honestly think your problem is somewhere with the software/corrupted file. (if ram is ok)

 

*EDIT: AMD and freezing in one topic, without intel being called or talking about a person not freezing. How much fun!
