Problem description: Computer locks up, audio crackles, mouse freezes, desktop becomes static. Nothing moves the image remains the same. Does not return to previous status without a hard reset. Happens when I'm using too many tabs, or play a game. can happen immediately, or after a random period of time. Attempted fixes: As it stands, I've spent the past week assembling, replacing and upgrading. I formatted the old drive, moved things I wanted to keep onto the other 1tb HD. reinstalled the OS, did multiple memtests, increased the fan curve, manually updated each and every driver, used multiple cmd prompt commands from various websites to try and find an issue. Nothing is showing up in error. I've scoured the eventlog and it only shows the hard reset themselves as critical kernal things, and I can't find what is causing the lockups. I've even installed CPUID HWMonitor to watch for heat spikes, but the temperatures never went beyond 30. I've got MSI afterburner running to keep things cold. And it's just not working. Every fix I've done has done nothing aside from improving the performance of when I finally get it working. Recent changes: It's a new build. The only carry-over from the old PC is the video card and HDD which was formatted, due to going from AMD to Intel. -- Operating system: Windows 10 Home x64 System specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/32dwCy Location: Canada I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Thank you for the response. I just tried switching to onboard, and by doing that the most recent crash became riddled with artifacts, the screen didn't just freeze. became a blocky technicolor mess of pixelvomit. I'm starting to lean towards the issue being the PSU itself. But would like a second opinion.

Hard drives all look good, I think at this point it might be the PSU, i'm gonna send it out for RMA and see what happens when I get it back.

So, just got my PSU back from EVGA, took em long enough. Plugged it in, ran everything pretty okay for an hour then it happened again. At this point, it's either the CPU or the MOBO, and I have no way of testing those, the chip looks fine and I triplechecked the thermal compound I used between the back and the heatsink, no spillover at all. And the motherboard doesn't look bad. I mean, both are brand new (Relatively speaking). What am I supposed to do?
