As stated in the title, my computer will randomly freeze during games. This computer is about a month old and my friend built the same exact one, except he does not have this problem. It started with dark souls 3, I would be able to get about 4 hours out before it would freeze up, now it only lasts about 5 minutes and it happens in other games as well. When the computer freezes it requires a hard reset to fix, then works normally after that until I try to play another game. Temperatures are all normal, I have been monitoring them while the computer is under stress and nothing too hot that it would be a problem. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a faulty GPU, but I wanted to check here before I return anything.
