Random PC Lockups

[NewBieDavid]

I've posted about this ALOT ..So long story short :
My PC keeps freezing in games and when I try to do some Prime95 stress testing it also does the same.

the reason I keep posting is because I always find out somethings new and the problem never left.

So here is what I tried so far :
Ran memtest and it kept freezing on the 6th test till I reinstalled it and ran it overnight with about 8 passes (I think)

Blend test freezes after 50 minutes 

Large FFT also crashes in about 50 minutes

and small FFT aswell.

Everyone is convinced that my 350w psu was not enough and I didn't agree till I eventually got a 550w psu but the problem still exists ..

Ran Furmark today for an hour and a half but never freezes (games freeze in way less time)

So today I found out something new which is If I turn the PC on and leave the mouse without touching it for about 15-20 minutes it causes the PC to freeze .

I've googled it a bit and found out some things about "PCIE Latency" . What is that exactly ?
So after this occurred  I'm kinda thinking its a software problem after all 

And I don't wanna go and buy new RAM or mobo because I've spent the money I have on a good psu so I wanna make sure whats wrong first .
System specs : AMD FX-6300 @ stock speeds 

asus m5a78l-m le

Kingston 8gb ddr3 low profile single channel Ram

GTX 1050 2gb

Corsair CX550m 80+ bronze

 

 

So what the hell am I facing right now ?

definitely sounds RAMish to   me

 

if it was a software issue, it wouldn't freeze in memtest

Dead motherboard most likely.

But memtest is running fine now tho ?

What are the chances that its a motherboard or Cpu problem ?

[BubblyCharizard]

do you have the latest bios for your motherboard?

amd's PGA pins can take a lot of abuse before breaking...just be careful when removing the cooler, as I've seen many come out of the socket with the retention arm down

Ok just ran memtest and it froze.

Well technically it didnt freeze but the timer stopped counting and the numbers stopped changing..

Running the ram on the other Ram slot to make sure

Ok confirmed.

First Ram slot froze

Second one I left it then came back to see a black screen and the caps lock wasnt responding so it apparently froze aswell..

Looks like Ram to me aswell  ?
