PC freezing while gaming

TinyBlocktim · January 6, 2018

So, ever since the fall creators update my PC has been experiencing random freezing/ locking ups. After it freezes I am able to push my restart button and everything is fine, there are no errors or messages from windows upon restart as well. My CPU temps were high so I got a Hyper D92 from Cooler Master and its fine, but it still freezes. I did a RAM health check and everything is fine with the RAM. I do have a 500w PSU, but even at high gaming load I never go over 410w of use. I have done several installs of Windows 10 and I am still having the same issues. I have stress tested my GPU with Furmark for 30min and it was fine as well. And I have used DDU to remove my GPU drivers more times than I would like to admit. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it, as I am only moderately tech savvy.

PC specs:

CPU - AMD FX-8370 "8" Core

CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper D92

Motherboard - Asus m5a99fx pro r2.0

RAM - 16Gb DDR3 2400mhz (@ 2400mhz)

GPU - Asus RX-480 8Gb (No OC)

PSU - EVGA 500w 80+ Bronze

SSD - 240Gb SanDisk

HDD - 1Tb Hitachi (Very old drive)

Optical - HP Disk Drive

Are you able to rollback to a version of Windows before the Fall Creator's update?

I am not sure if I am able to, and don't really know how too rollback that far.

Go to System Restore in the Control Panel and see when your last created Restore Point was(if there even is one)

There is not sadly, the only restore point I have is the one I made yesterday after I did a new install of Windows 10. I am just not sure if it is the GPU or something else that is causing the problem.
