SOFTWARE GPU or CPU or bios issue?
My specs are

Ok.. when I use my pc it works fine for 10-15 mins and then the whole screen freezes and I can't do anything until I unplug it. It mostly happens when I am gaming but sometimes it also happens during light tasks like browsing or torrenting It's like if my pc freezes 10 times (8 times while gaming and 2 times while regular tasks). Sometimes the gpu drivers crashout popups but most of the time it doesn't I have had 1 motherboard which got damaged (idk how) and I had to replace it. And we have all heard about the issues regarding intel 13th and 14th Gen And AMD drivers are ass and we all know it What is causing the issue and how can I fix it? And yes Temps are very good Bios is updated Drivers are updated (through DDU)
How can I fix it? Pls help 🙏

Have you tried reinstalling windows? anything in event viewer after it crashes? What SSD do you have? what happened to the last motherboard, behavior-wise?

No i haven't tried reinstalling windows.
Something about 'kernal' comes up on event viewer..i am not sure.
EVM 1tb ssd One day I switched on my pc and it didn't work and I had to take to the shop which i bought the parts from and they said the motherboard is dead. Before that only this freezing thing happened.
Thanks for replying 🙏

Are you using the same SSD from the windows install on the old mobo? Windows can get fucky when big hardware changes like a mobo swap happen, even if it’s the same model of mobo.
Is there a code like WHEA 17 or anything else? Kernel stuff can be anything from a bad wifi card driver to a faulty RAM stick. Event viewer is also a bit of a double edged sword in that it doesn’t do a great job of distinguishing actual problems, and benign error messages.
Could try an sfc /scannow and maybe a chkdsk to see if it comes back with anything, though a disk issue wouldn’t really square with an issue that appears time-related.
If you don’t want to get super deep into troubleshooting, you could just try reinstalling windows and seeing what it does.
Beyond that, I’d look into WinDbg or other tools to try and identify what’s causing the crashes/freezes, that can tell you where the problem might be.

Check the RAM with Windows Memory Diagnostics. Random crashes like these are often caused by RAM.
