EVGA 500 W1,  500W Power Supply( 100-W1-0500-KR)

The gpu and hdd are the only used components on the pc.

Hdd was completely wiped,  and new os installed during first boot

PSU is mounted with the fan down, in the case pulling air through the bottom screen filter.

using 2x120 fans in the front of the case. and 1x120 fan in the rear of the case. along with the fan on the cpu cooler and psu.

I should've worded the freezing part differently. I had one game that was causing a black screen/freeze upon exiting, I do believe the pc was still responsive at this point, because my keyboard was still lit, and low memory commands like num lock on my keyboard were still functioning.

I was able to resolve that issue by changing the compatibility settings of the game, But I've never encountered a freeze other than that, so I dont think it was hardware related.

I don't really do a considerable amount of graphic-intensive gaming

But,

Max CPU temp after about 30 minutes of gaming, (ESO, ultra settings, gpu in oc mode) was 56 degrees (c)

GPU peaked at 68 (c)

Cold boot and hard restart both seems to show the problem, I had an issue with it when I first put the pc together, and then after installing mobo drivers, along with everything else, it seemed like it was resolved. But then again, I didnt reboot my computer for a couple weeks, after installs and stuff were completed. It sits idle most of the day.

Thanks for the reply!
