Mine is randomly hanging up. It's either bad memory sticks, hard drives failing (again). Or, it's finally time to splurge on a new system and retire this one after 12 years of loyal service.
My I7-3770 died last week with "no memory installed" errors no matter which stick or slot. It was a trooper until the end.
I suspect it's the graphics card. It's been 6 years with me and it was refurbished when I got it.
I had a semi-similar issue where games would randomly "freeze" - or rather, you could still hear stuff happening and reacting to key inputs, but the screen was completely frozen. Turns out slightly lowering the clock speed of my GPU basically fixed the issue. I wonder if something similar would be able to extend the life of your GPU too.
