I know this seems a common problem in here, and also that some people stated some answers, but my BIOS is 1603, and I don't seem to find what they state to change.
Well, let's get to the facts:
This problem started when I got this PC, in 2014. So, it's not a Windows 10 exclusive thing, nor bad install of OS, nor anything software related. I triple checked it back then. Also, it got away after 8 months of having the PC from just messing around with answers I found on the net - a downclock way. After 1,5 years the problem is back. Why? Blackout then BIOS was reset. And now I don't remember what to change, and since I updated the BIOS after that, also am quite lost at it.
The problem occurs with videos - less often, flash games, and 3D games. And it's random when it happens. Can take hours, can take 10 minutes. And the freezing is just a normal freeze. Noise freezes beeping on what it was going on, then stops, image freezes as it is in the state before freezing. Sometimes you have a few seconds to act before full freeze occurs, but it's like one, two seconds.
Also, already checked memtest, gpu stress test, cpu stress test. All seems working fine, so, definetely is something bios configuration related.
Can someone shed some light? Oh, and here are the pc specs:
