PC freezes during gameplay

[WheelJack88]

Greetings,

I'm having an issue with a recent build I have done and I was wondering if anybody here knew the solution to the problem I'm having, if this is the wrong place to post this then I apologise. MSI, Nvidia and AMD all seem to be shrugging their shoulders at me.

Specs:
Geforce GTX 1080,
AMD Ryzen 7 1800X,
Corsair Vengeance RAM 24GB (2 8GB and 2 4 GB),
SSD 240 GB (Boot),
2TB HDD,
MOBO: MSI X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium,
1000 W PSU
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

What it is, whenever I play a mid-high end game, at any random moment the screen will freeze, this can occur after 5 minutes or anywhere upto 2-3 hours, it usually happens during gameplay and it doesn't matter if the screen is busy or not, it can be quite sporatic and the vast majority of the time I am able to back out of the game (windows > close programme or simply whacking esc key works) and I'm back at the desktop able to boot the game up again and it seems fine for a time. Only on the rare occasion does the machine require a hard reset. Whenever I plug the computer in my TV though, I am yet to find a freeze, granted I have not been on the TV half as long as the monitor I have but I feel I have played on the TV long enough to force a freeze, probably nothing but thought I should mention that.

I have changed the PSU, benchmarked the CPU, changed the HDD and the SSD, reinstalled Windows, reinstalled all the games and the drivers, I have stressed the RAM in Memtest with no errors and tried it stick by stick, I have stressed the graphics card for an hour and benchmarked that with no issues, tried my GPU in a friend's machine which seemed to be fine, I have monitored my temperetures in Afterburner and the GPU rarely goes over 70c in game and the CPU temp is rarely over 60c, I have tried a different GPU in mine (some Radeon that is the equivilant to a 750Ti, apologies but the name evades me) which did the same thing and changed the motherboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot.

I had an issue with my 1080FE on Gears of War 4.
I turned off Async and rolled the drivers back to June (382.53) and back to trouble free gaming.
It could only be Async or the driver but if it ain't still broke don't fix it.

Gears 4 is one of the games I'm having issues with, I'll give that a go and see what happens, cheers bro.

I have a silly issue similar to this on my main AMD

I can use my PC for days on end no issues and then all of a sudden, it halts. No errors, no hints on what it can be, the only way to get it off, is a reset, and its peachy again.

I was using an 8350 at 4.7Ghz and it was flawless. I then bought a 9590 and running it stock, I get this issue.

I put the 8350 back in and clock it, and the issue goes away. Put the 9590 back in... It comes back.

The trouble is, that, as I said, I can use it for days on end, and so testing takes me bloody weeks to do!

Im running 4x8GB Corsair Dominators, and so I have tested each stick in turn, just in case, but thats not helped me.
I have also tried various drivers. I on an ATI 480 and again, these made no difference and the only thing I can put it down to, IS the CPU, but they usualy either work or dont work at all... Not like that and so... Bugger it, Its just something I have to live with.

That's weird, my next job is to check the processor, but none of my friends have the same socket mobo as I do so it's finding one. Proabably have to be a CeX job tbf.
