Post Body

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.

Here is the part list that I used to make this machine
