Computer freezing often

[BenIddon]

I’m not quite sure what topic to put this in so forgive me if I’m wrong, my computer freezes for about 5-10 seconds very often. This happens mostly when gaming but even just on you tube my computer still stutters. In some cases my computer will fully freeze and not let me do anything resulting in me having to shut it down and restart. Any help on fixes or why this happens is greatly appreciated. SPECS: 

Mobo - Gigabyte 970A-DS3P ; Ram - Corsair DDR3 8GB ; CPU - AMD FX-8350 ;

GPU -NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 6GB ;

please tell us your pc specs, as you gave us only the clue that your pc is hanging up. that's not enough to know what's going on

we cant really help without specs

 

from reading this it might be a bad overclock or faulty ram but we cant tell for sure without the specs

I recommend using https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy so we can see the temperatures and clock speeds.

If that’s true, there is your problem. Every time the heat goes up it lowers performance to let it cool down. Your computer may need more fans/water cooling, cable management, etc

Okay thank you for this, I did have a suspicion it was my CPU because when gaming I’m at like 75-78 degrees and just normally it’s around the 60 mark. Thank you

Oh right so do you still think it’s the heat then?

Yeah I still think you have heat spikes. It’s a very common issue.
