I've been having a frustrating issue with my gaming PC for a while now. Whenever I start playing a game, my PC freezes and crashes, and the only way to fix it is to force shut it down with the power button. After that, it restarts and is fine for the rest of the night, but this happens daily. The problem started several months ago. I contacted Cyber Power, my PC's provider, but they weren't very helpful initially. A family friend suggested that my RAM might be the issue, so I replaced it, spending £50, and for a short time, everything seemed okay. Then, when I started playing Apex Legends again, the freezing issue came back. I really apologize for the lengthy explanation, but I'd appreciate any advice on what to do next!

Honestly, I've had a similar problem before, and in the end, I just decided it was easier to get a new PC. Sometimes, it's just not worth the hassle to keep troubleshooting, especially if it keeps popping up.
Could you share the specs of your PC? Knowing the RAM, CPU, GPU, and other components might help us pinpoint the issue. Also, have you checked the Event Viewer for any error logs around the times your PC freezes? That can be really useful for diagnosis. Also, does this only happen with Apex Legends, or are other games affected too?
It seems like you're hitting this issue across multiple games, which could indicate a broader problem. Anyway, do you know how to find the freeze logs? That could give you a clearer picture of what’s causing the issue.
Looks like you’ve got 32GB of RAM now, so that should be fine. But if it crashes with a few different games, it might not just be RAM. Let's look into those logs!
Yeah, I hear you. It’s super frustrating trying to fix these issues, but I was hoping to avoid buying a whole new system. Just trying to weigh my options right now.
