Hey everyone, I just built my own computer and everything was working great but then after a few days I've been getting system freezes where the monitor will cut out and not detect anything plugged into it. Hitting the restart button does nothing, and I have to hard reset the system and everything works again.
I have run multiple stress tests on the system to see if it was overheating, but everything reports back that the max GPU temp is ~80C and the CPU never crossed over 60C. Even while typing this the system did it even though it had be on for less than 5 minutes.
I have double checked every connection and they seem to be solid. I have tried updating drivers and re-seating cards. The only thing i haven't done yet is remove the heat sink and check the cpu for damage.
I am completely befuddled because it happens so randomly. It will be fine for hours without a blackout then it can't go minutes without it going down 3 or more times. And it's starting to get really annoying.
You're my only hope
Here is the part list that I used to make this machine
