Constant lockups and not sure what to do at this point.

[Geekzack]

Hello and thanks for reading. Last year I bought a used pc and have had lockup issues constantly. Lately, I can barely get past windows booting up before it does it again. At first I figured cooling issues, so I redid thermal paste on all cpu/gpu/mobo, to no success. I have replaced both hard drives in hopes of starting from a clean slate would fix it. Nothing. I rearranged RAM sticks, updated bios, removed sound card, set video card fan speeds higher and still the lockups happen. Without spare parts around, I feel at mercy of having to continuously pour money into new parts that is pushing total cost of the unit towards the 2k mark. I feel completely let down and lost about how to fix this. Maybe gpu or mobo is giving out? Heres what’s in the case:
Cpu: amd fx 9590 4.7 no oc
Gpu: amd radeon rx470
Mobo: asus rog crosshair v formula z
Ram: 2 sets (4sticks) 16g corsair vengeance ddr3 2400mhz
Hdd: 2x wd 1tb black 7200rpm
Cpu has a small liquid cooling unit with single fan

Thoughts and idea are greatly appreciated and ill check in often for quick replies. Sorry for the long read but I tried to be as detailed as I could.

Should not that this morning I reinstalled bios and it’s here that the lockups are so soon that I can’t even use the pc.

Hi Geekzack, Welcome to PCHF!

Have you tried using just one RAM stick on the motherboard and see if it locks up in the BIOS? Have you reset the BIOS back to default values? What does the BIOS show for system temperatures?

Have you tried unplugging all extra peripherals so that the computer just has the motherboard, a single stick of RAM, CPU, and dedicated video card installed and see if it does not freeze? Have you tried plugging the video card into a different PCI-E slot on the motherboard to see if that helps?

What power supply does the computer have?
