So the topic pretty much says it all, I get a hard freeze randomly gaming some times. Most of the times it's when I'm recording or rendering a long video. I've tried experimenting streaming on this PC setup but no luck just get a hard freeze randomly playing. No clue what to do anymore, I've done BIOS things, Windows updates, ran memory diagnostics etc. now just at the end of the rope making a post about it. When it hard freezes I can't do anything but hard reset the PC. Here are my specs below.

MSI Z390-A PRO
Intel 9th Gen i9-9900K
Corsair 32GB DDR4 RAM
500GB NVMe SSD + 2TB HDD
ASUS Turbo RTX 2080 Ti
Windows 10
Seasonic FOCUS GX-1000 1000W
 
Such behaviour is normally associated to something overheating, have you been monitoring your temps at all.

Download Speedfan and install it. Once it's installed, run the program and post here any information it shows.

So that we have a comparison to Speedfan, download, run and grab a screenshot of HWMonitor (free).

To capture and post a screenshot;

Click on the ALT key + PRT SCR key..its on the top row..right hand side..now click on start...all programs...accessories...paint....left click in the white area ...press CTRL + V...click on file...click on save...save it to your desktop...name it something related to the screen your capturing... BE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A .JPG ...otherwise it may be to big to upload... after typing in any response you have... click on Upload a File to add the screenshot.

Screenshot instructions are provided to assist those that may read this topic but are not yet aware of the “how to”.

Yeah I actually do monitor temps with NZXT CAM, I do all the time whenever I'm doing something that's under a lot of load. I've seen hard freezes around 30-40 on the CPU & around 70+ on the GPU under load and that's with recording.
