Harddrive failure?

Not sure if I should be posting this here but, here I go. For the last few months my computer has been randomly freezing when playing games at any capped fps ( did this to test overheating ). Also much more rarely but sometimes even when im watching netflix. I then have to shut the computer down with the power switch in the back, on the next boot it always freezes at a random point and i have to reboot it again. This practically makes it impossible to play games as i get banned for leaving when my computer freezes. Im rather confident its not overheating because ive tested the temperatures and they all seem to be fine when it freezes. This leads me to believe it could be my ssd failing or my hdd but im not sure. (My windows 10 is on the ssd). Any insight into what is wrong with my computer would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you using an Intel or AMD? If it is intel you can remove the GPU and try to use the iGPU to see if you are still freezing. Also is the HDD making loud clicking noises?

My GPU is amd  and i dont believe it is making loud clicking sounds.
