PC freezes briefly during a game then resumes automatically.
I'm getting close to the end and still can't understand what's going on.
This build is brand new, only a month old, and I've experienced this issue since day two.
When I play games, the PC freezes completely—mouse and keyboard won't respond, it just stops entirely unless I switch it off using the PSU button.
It usually lasts up to three hours, but sometimes it freezes for about 25 minutes during gameplay.
I've checked everything: SSD firmware, Windows updates, GPU updates, BIOS, drivers, SFC scan—nothing found.
I let it freeze and observed the behavior, but no BSOD appears; it just restarts.
I ran a memory check and saw no errors.
I'm unsure if the problem is software-related or hardware-related.
I've used DDU and performed a Windows repair. The PC doesn't freeze during normal web browsing or while watching YouTube/streams.
It set for 12 hours straight without issues, except for freezing during games. No overclocking was done; everything was left at default settings except the Expo mode.
Also, GPU and CPU temperatures are normal when idle and during gaming.
I've tried another set of 2x16GB Corsair Dominator 6400mhz cards—both with Expo enabled and disabled—the problem persists.
