Hello,
I've been having some issues with my PC lately. I've started having random bluescreens and freezing. Since I fixed a driver issue with my soundcard it seems like the bluescreens are gone. Now the computer freezes and the audio cuts out. It doesnt happen on a specific occation for instance when I'm in full load but can happen randomly when I play tf2 or just browse the internet. It usually happens once a day, when I had the bluescreens too it was somewhere around 2-3 times a day.
I did overclock my CPU but that shouldnt have caused any issues. I had it on 60 degrees in full load for a few hours while benchmarking and I also monitored the temps while playing for a few days with no spikes or high temperatures.
What I've done so far:
Reset bios to optimized default
Reset windows 10
Ran memtest86 with 0 errors
Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be here? I'm truly grateful for any help

might sound stupid but have you cleared all the dust
also check on psu, if it's not cutting power
what voltage and GHz you're running your cpu @

I removed all dust around 1 month ago, even cleaned the dust filters.
Do you have any recommended ways of checking the psu? Is there a good monitoring tool?
Currently its sitting at 3.5 GHz and voltage around 1.150 V

it's gonna cumulate over the month's time anyway, i'd rather clean it
be sure to turn off the auto voltage thingy in bios and have a set voltage, 3.5 on 1.15 is fine
grab a multimeter and check psu's outputs, if you have no clue how to do it (literally me) ask a friend

Alright, I'll see if my dad can help with that, he owns a multimeter. Thank you Rockz!
