freezing PC KEEPS FREEZING

[steezepuff]

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING

I built a new pc and everything was working fine till after two weeks of using it. I started tinkering with msi afterburner and maxed out all settings on my gpu including the power limit. Ever since then my pc has not stopped freezing.

Build-
I5 7600k
Gammax 400
16 gb g.skill ripjaws v
Samsumg 960 m.2 250 gb nvme ssd
Gigabyte GA-Z270P-D3
Corsair cx 750 m
Msi 1080 gaming x

At the time i was using an evga 450 w psu. I wasn't really thinking much when i tried over clocking on this 450 psu KNOWING the 1080 minimum is 500W. I thought the freezing was occuring to not enough voltage being supplied to the system so i went out and bought the cx750m.

After i plugged everything in i tried turning on my pc and resetting but keeping my files. After complete reset I ran cinebench cpu test to see if my cpu was stable. It worked but froze on the open gl test for my gpu. I rebooted the system, updated drivers and tried again. This time it worked. I tried testing with furmax aswell and it also worked. But whenever i tried opening player unknown battle grounds my pc would freeze. Yet i tried with rocket league and was able to play normally?????

My pc freezes at random times when im browsing even if its not graphic intensive. I checked to see if it was my gpu causing the problem and decided to remove everying in my pc. After re inserting everything i left the gpu out to see if my system would work. I stressed tested using prime95 and after barely 5 min my pc would blue screen and freeze up.

I have tried several times to reset the cmos and reset bios so i have stock clocks and defaults all round. Yet my pc still froze and failed prime 95 again. I have ran memtest, chkdsk, sfc/scannow, and also re-adjusted my storage vram. Still my pc would freeze and fail.

I have tried ddu and installing new drivers and the problem persists. So then i decided to just wipe my whole pc and try again. I plugged in a usb with windows 10 install, and deleted everything on my ssd. While installing windows my pc froze and keeps freezing everytime i turn it on.

At first i thought it was a voltage issue. Then possibly a driver issue. Then my refurbished gtx 1080, but after i took it out and noticed my system is still crap i am now starting to think it might be my motherboard.

ANY HELP,  TIPS,  IDEAS AND THOUGHTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED

What was the result of memtest? If you have 2 or more ram modules you might try to use one or two at the time to see if can be a memory issue.

To me it looks like a cpu or memory issue.

The mem test read back 100% fine with 0 errors . I'm completely clueless to what it it can be as everything is brand new.

I would try anyway to use one ram module at a time and see if there is a faulty ram stick or motherboard ram slot not working properly even if the memtest runs fine.

The blue screen is generally a cpu/ram/motherboard related problem.
