PC hard locks during games

Reaper113

Hey everyone, so recently my computer has been completely freezing up in games. I'll be playing with no issues then all of a sudden it completely locks up, can't alt tab can't and ctrl alt delete, nothing. I've tried leaving it for a few minutes to see if it, 1 rights itself or 2 gives me a BSoD but I've never had either happen. All my drivers are up to date and everything I have seems to be functioning properly. I have a very mild overclock of 30mhz gpu clock and 200mhz to the mem clock but i dont think its my card as its brand new. ive had it happen on 2 different games, battlefield 1 and rainbow 6 siege. both are installed on seperate drives so i dont think its drive failures. anyone know what could be happening to me?

remove overclocks and see if issues resolve

then do web search for overclocking guide (i think tomshardware has decent one) as their are math formulas to follow

Also for future reference everything in your build is an A+ but your ram is like a C- at most. Consider upgrading that and then you should get no problems ever.
