All my drivers are up to date, if I play a game for 1-2 hours around the 2 hour mark the PC freezes, and I'm forced to restart, I don't know what the hell is going on, is there any place to look for logs to tell me what happened anything?

thanks!

CPU, Motherboard monitor does not list my motherboard, it's a good 2-3 years old...

Download and run Memtest+ on your ram for at least several hours. Also, what brand/wattage is your power supply?

Is there a crash log somewhere in windows to see why it's crashing?

In the Administative tools there is an Event viewer where you can look at some error messages.

Sometimes they're helpful, and at others they're obscure.
