Hey all,
I've been having some problems with my pc crashing for a few months now. It seems to happen very randomly, like it could happen once 20-30 mins of the last crash, or go 1-3 hours between the last crash, or even a whole day!
It recently went a few days without a crash, but started happening again frequently.
Crashes seem to happen no matter what I doing, whether it be me on the internet, or playing a video game.
When it crashes, there is no BSOD, no restarts no turn off's just a freeze/lock up, which requires me to hit restart.
I've just cleaned my pc out with compressed air, but it seems to still be here.
Any ideas? No idea what tests to run
