Right so I have been having this ongoing problem for a couple months now where I'll boot up a game play from 20 minutes to a couple hours and then I run into a complete deadlock freeze everything just stops the screen stays on the still image from where it was when it freezes but mouse and keyboard unresponsive forcing me to hold down the power button to force a shutdown. I seem to be able to pay a little longer when i run games in window instead of full screen, but still comes to a deadlock freeze just a little more gaming before so.

I have ran MemTest and came back with 0 errors
Scanned SSD and HDD's and all come back looking healthy
I only have this one GPU so cant really swap to check it but have checked temps while playing high performance games and seems to run around 65 degrees at most
Same with the CPU only have the one to fit the motherboard but temps seem to get around 45 at the most when again high performance CPU based games
Then my PSU is a Corsair 650w and i only have a spare 450w PSU which I dont believe will be powerful enough to really check if thats the problem

So if anyone can help just let me know what spec program you need a screenshot from and so on.

My Computer Specs
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU - Intel Core i5 6600k @ 3.50GHz
RAM - 2x 8GB Corsiar Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400MHz
Motherboard - Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 (MSI)
SSD - 250GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO
HDD 1 - 1TB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5AO
HDD 2 - 500GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142

Thank you in advance.

I had a similar issue within my workplace when I was distributing Windows 10 OS to the machines, some would randomly freeze up and everything was unresponsive, even keyboard mouse wouldn't move or work.

Reinstall the OS, run a chkdsk /f to the drive the OS is installed on and then install all your apps/games again

Tried reinstalling windows numerous times and doesnt seem to be the problem as it was happening when i installed back to windows 7. Also wiped all drives when doing so

Have you been monitoring your task manager, see if anything starts running awry? If it's always 20 minutes after boot, there's the possibility of something that is auto running that shouldn't be. Ensure your installing ALL the correct drivers for your motherboard. Sounds more like a memory leak or a disk problem to me though.

I will try and monitor that but its not always 20 minutes exactly i can browse internet and do other things but soon as i game it will freeze anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours
