I have a pretty nice Gaming PC i built a little while back, fresh install of windows 10.
The PC will Randomly Freeze/Lock forcing a Hard-shut down is the only way to get the PC off, then back on.
the screen/mouse pointer and whatever was running freezes completely in place & will not respond to anything.
Completely random, could be watching youtube, twitch, playing a game on steam or battle.net ect.
Not sure why this is happening & i didn't see anything in my Event Viewer, yet im not completely sure if im looking in the right place..
i have updated 100% of the drivers i could think of, ran an auto-detecting & installing driver application.

MOBO~ Gigabyte z170x GA G1 Gaming 7
CPU~ intel i7-6700k @ stock speed

HELP?!?!



temps are fine - at this point im looking at hardware, but have no idea what else it could be software wise.

which drivers did you update?
where is ur page file located if you have one?
check memory with memtestx86
scan hdd with hdtune on full scan for errors.

start there before we have you ripping out hardware

drivers; according to 2 separate apps, ALL the drivers are up to date on the entire system.
page file i just followed this guide : https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-move-page-file-in-windows-10-to-another-disk/
i dont have a USB flash drive or CD handy atm to run memtest?
running HDtune currently on full error scan

if no errors then not hd
memtest needs to be run at some point unless the next step resolves it.
update drivers manually from...

lol PC froze while doing the second test on the SSD

you don't surface scan ssd's anyways.

motherboard constantly shows code "6F" which i've been told means " waking up from sleep " but it is always showing that code..

update bios, still need to check memory though.
