I have random freezing when doing anything. I can browse the web, I can be playing a video game. You name it. Whatever I do my system will freeze with colored blocks all over the screen at different times. It may run fine for several days or it may freeze in an hour or two no matter what I do. It’s been a nightmare to figure out the culprit. I’ve replaced the motherboard. Tested memory with windows diagnostics. Removed all components besides keyboard / mouse / NVME drive. I’ve tried another ssd with a fresh installs of windows 10. I’ve verified temps for CPU. I’m running onboard graphics. I’m pulling my hair out at this point. I can run a stress test for hours and no problems. Please help!

So does it do it with the iGPU or with your video card?

And how have you tested your RAM? I know RAM issues can cause video driver issues.

Ok, I got my graphics card today in the mail. Started playing a game and bam got the random freezing. Turned off computer. Turned on. The motherboard diagnostic light for DRAM came up. Removed one of the sticks and turned back on. Computer booted back up. Played 7 games in a row no issues. Starting to think it may be the stick although windows found no issues...
