I've received my custom PC 2 weeks ago and for the last 3 days, my PC started to act up strangely. It started with freezes (weird headphone static sound and then freeze up) and eventually led to random reboots. I've checked my CPU and GPU temperatures and both of them are always below 34C (idle).
I have not overclocked or anything so I don't see how heat and overclocking has something to do with this.
