Hard locking Problem

My computer randomly hard locks on most games. Usually around 10 to 30 minutes. Sometimes it can last a couple hours on games such as Garry's Mod. It also occasionally hard locks while doing regular things such as watching youtube videos or web browsing. I also noticed that most crashes happen when something is being downloaded while multiple programs/tabs are open at the same time, I dont know if its a coincidence though. I have done physical and software memory checks and reinstalled windows. I can't check gpu because I don't have another gpu on hand to swap out with.

Did you do a temperature check. Could be the video card or CPU are overheating.

GPU and cpu are within safe limits, I logged them. I also would like to add to the original post that benchmarks such as 3d mark or furmark dont lock (at least not yet) But 10 minutes later in a game, I get a hard lock.

Are all your drivers up to date?

A clean install of windows doesnt fix anything @Crunchy Dragon @Zmax

How much RAM do you have? I've seen systems freeze purely because they don't have the RAM capacity to handle what the user is trying to do.
