So anyways, yesterday we had a FO big storm in JHB. So normally network ports go if lightning hits. However when I finally got around to turning on my PC it started freezing on games, startup of Windows, then when u just leave it, boom freezes. Cleaned the dusk a stuff out Incase it was an airflow issue.

- So I thought it was my GPU. Took it out and plugged the screens into the motherboard. Started up and BOOM after 30 mins. Frozen.

- so I thought it may be my SSD failing. Swapped it out with a new one, reinstalled windows. And finally got in. And BOOM. Freezes in a clean install.

- so now I ask for more help.

Is it more likely to be my motherboard that is F’ed or a power supply issue or even a processor issue? I don’t know really what to try next without buying all 3 and that’s not currently in the budget. Haha.

Thanks to anyone who could give advice.

I've seen this before with the cpu cooling fan. Maybe replace the thermal paste with new.
 
Usually the power supply is the biggest suspect, check that first.
 
I would try new psu, then check ram, then cpu paste.
