Hi all,
Apologies for not being more specific in the title, there are no error codes and so far, no obvious reasons to the freezes. I'ts a complete freeze, nothing movable, nothing able to close and only fixable by a hard reset. When starting back up again there are no errors and no suggestions for safe mode, simply starting backup again.
I very recently (10days ago?) replaced my motherboard and processor and reinstalled Windows 8.1 onto a newly formatted hard-drive too. Everything else was working fine in my rig so I know it is probably one of the new pieces, but I really can't figure it out.
So far I have checked/tried the following:
There may be more, but it's getting really frustrating now. There's not much on the computer so I could do another install but I'm worried it's hardware. Any help would be really appreciated as it's killing me now.
Please let me know what reports/scans you need.
Many, many thanks!

So far I have checked/tried the following:
- Seating of all cables, hardware
- Overheating of CPU (although this can reach high in some games it crashes playing low-req games not pushing it beyond 50C)
- Drivers - it's a fresh install with all auto updates and manual updates for GPU drivers completed.
- New install eliminates (almost) the chance of malware/virus etc.
- Ram has been tested, both with memtest and checking slots by switching around. No effect/problems.
- Completed sfc/scannow, checkdisk and Dism....RestoreHealth.
- Have been looking at Event Viewer but not seeing anything obvious. The only critical logs are of me force-closing the system. I may be missing something though as haven't used it much.
