hi all, while grinding out tasks on Destiny 2 im usually watching youtube on my second monitor and after awhile my computer completely locks up to the point i have to use the reset button on the case to restart it, this is the second time its happened in 2 days, has happened before ages ago when i was playing WoW, kinda annoying for this to happen, any ideas?

 

here is my current setup: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Rw7WXP

Do you have an overclock on your GPU, CPU or RAM? Overheating?

Hmm PC lock ups are mostly oc results. Maybe you bump the voltage of your CPU up a little bit. Also do a Stress test with prime 95 or aida 64.

i used the msi OC genie to OC the CPU to 4GHz dont know if that program also changed the voltage for it, i just dont get why its only happening to D2 or WoW, ive played metro 2033/last light redux, monster hunter world and other games for a few hours and nothing like this has happened
