I've had an ongoing issue for a long time now with my system suddenly freezing out of nowhere and needing to be manually restarted. It originally did it maybe once a day every few days, but it's got more frequent and now the computer can't be on for more than 10-15 minutes without it happening, which is rendering the
PC pretty useless.
I've stripped it down, changed the cooler, changed the ram with no luck. It's not cpu temp, as coretemp is recording it at about 50 degrees when it freezes.
The system (cpu and mobo) was built in 2011, so it's pretty old. Do I have to accept now that's just old and broken or can anyone think of any other issues which could be causing it to freeze.
One more note, stress testing using prime freezes after about 20 seconds.
