That doesn't surprise me.

Giving my computer breaks seems to help. Like if I have to go do something around the house, or go eat I just shut my PC down for a little while.

I'm at a loss at to why the Issue Is Isolated to your PC.

Fingers crossed It's fixed.

Ironically about 30 minutes after my last post on this thread my computer started seizing up again

But going back to my original theory about voltage, I'm beginning to think this is the fault of my PSU. I've researched similar problems with other people's computers, and almost every single person said it ended up being a PSU related fault. My current PSU is at least 5 years old which is just on the cusp of the sketchy zone. And I'd like to order a new PSU as soon as possible because a few people said their dying PSU was actually slowly killing components like their GPU and MOBO. So instead of spending $600 to replace my GPU, motherboard, and PSU, I think I'll just get a new power supply.

Let us know if replacing the PSU fixes it. Your logic seems very sound, but I suppose you will only know for sure once you try, right?

Yes, as I've already mentioned, It's now become a process of elimination.

I'll keep an eye on this thread to see whether the PSU has fixed the Issue.

That's certainly very peculiar.

Apart from the PSU, what do you have In mind?

Well, my ethernet port seems to have a mind of its own for the time being. I think when the load starts to get too high, like if I start running a game, a few minutes later my computer will crash. But if I run the same game without ethernet, the game won't crash. This solidifies my PSU theory.

I did end up finding a unit thats to my liking. It's a Corsair RM750x, which is high quality and should last me another 5 years. I'm expecting the unit will arrive at my house around Thursday or Friday.

And when I mentioned that I wasn't sure what to buy yet, I was specifically reffering to the power supply brand. I wasn't sure if you misunderstood or not.

I can finally conclude the saga of shit. I've confirmed that my computer is functioning without issue using my new PSU. I'm also pleased with the amount of noise my computer makes now. If I didn't use an aggressive fan curve for my components, my entire computer would be almost silent.

And thanks for the help. Even though your suggestions didn't directly end up fixing my problem, I was able to narrow it down and fix it with you guys' suggestions and feedback.

It's bizarre that a faulty PSU would have problems at the same time of day consistently. Glad it's fixed, regardless.
