PC freezing

1 Attachment(s)

Hi,

For the last few months my computer has been randomly crashing and last night I took a picture: Attachment 26902

My GPU is an MSI Nvidia GTX 970. Here's what I've tried so far:

Ran on Win 7 and 10, same issue
Removed and re-seated card, removed all power leads and replaced the 2 power leads that power the GPU.
Updated Nvidia drivers.

Whenever this happens, a restart will always solve the issue, and it could be a week or more before it happens again.

It can happen when I'm doing anything, either gaming, or just web browsing.

I hope it's a PSU issue, rather than a GPU issue. Anyone shed any light?

Thanks.

Re: PC freezing

Any idea of any temperatures of the CPU or GPU?

Overheating can cause weird things like this to.

CPU temp averages 25°C, GPU highest I've seen is around 65°C when gaming, but it's usually around 45°C when I'm just doing other stuff.
