I’m experiencing issues where my PC freezes and locks up unexpectedly. It happens randomly, especially when playing games or watching videos. The system freezes completely without any error messages, and I need to hard reset it. My build PC with the mentioned components runs normally for hours. No clear pattern seems to exist. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Adjust your PCIe lanes to Gen 3 in BIOS. My 3060 Ti experienced random freezes and occasional black screens. The vertical GPU mount uses a PCIe 3 riser cable, while both the GPU and motherboard use PCIe 4. The manufacturer recommended switching to Gen 3, but I faced freezing and screen issues afterward. Performance and FPS improved significantly during gameplay.
