I'm getting screen freezes after upgrading some parts, and I'm struggling to narrow down the issue. The freezes happen sporadically and mainly when trying to open and close browser tabs or applications in general.

I've changed:
PSU from 600w to 800w (Corsair HX850)
GPU from 1080ti to 6800XT
RAM from Corsair Dominator to TG Dark Pro
CPU from 2700x to 3700x

I've run Timespy Extreme stress test and it passed so I ruled out the PSU.

I've run some Cinebench and it's all good.

I run a quick memtest and it did a few passes ( maybe I need to run longer?)

Any suggestions?

It just keeps hanging when I try to navigate through the Radeon software, like I'm clicking on the display tab and it's turning grey like I've clicked it but the tab doesn't actually switch. I have to kill Radeon from task manager. Chrome has similar issues.

I'm just reinstalling Windows now just to rule out a software issue.
 
I've reinstalled Windows and installed Adrenaline and the same issue persists. It's looking like a hardware issue, for sure.

I'm now thinking it's the PSU but can install Windows on another drive to test that, too.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

So the whole system doesn't freeze? You can still click about on other windows.

Does this cause a scenario where you're forced to reboot?

The reason I disregarded the kernel power criticals earlier was because I thought the entire system was hanging and you were forced to hold the power button.

If you still have all your old components it kind of looks like you're going to just have to swap them back one by one to try and narrow it down more.

It's the Radeon software going unresponsive, but I can access other Windows like Chrome etc. and the Radeon will become responsive again eventually and when it does it quickly toggles through all the steps I just made, like it's catching up.

Also, when playing Division when I try to toggle left once in a menu then it'll keep going like I've held the button in.

It's really weird and doesn't really feel consistent with a PSU issue. I unplugged everything except keyboard and mouse and was still getting the issue.
 
I haven't seen a weird one like this for a while!

Cinebench R23 score looking normal - 11995

Timespy Extreme score normal - 7846 (9113 graphics, 4390 CPU).

Now running OCCT on the default 30 minute stress test...
