Clean installed Windows 10. 2 major issues persist. 1.Freezing. 2.PC shuts down
Boggin:
Your voltages look fine but I'm a little puzzled that it shows two AMD Radeon R9 200 graphics cards where one is working and the other doesn't appear to be.

My card is the 295x2, so it is technically 2 GPUs in one.
Do you think the GPU could be the problem? How would I know for certain?
Boggin:
It could be where the other bit only kicks in with more intense graphic requirements.
You could take the card out and gently clean the pins with an eraser or cotton buds and spirit.
Run Furmark for about 20mins to stress the graphics and watch the temps - I'm not sure if you will also be able to have HWMonitor running at the same time to see if the other one does kick in.

My computer shuts down just by trying to open a game or watching a youtube video, I think it'll turn off ASAP if I stress test, going to RMA both PSU and GPU.
I have a questions, my power supply cables are 6 years old, do they usually wear out?
Boggin:
Yes, cables can deteriorate.
Have you opened up the case to see if there is a build up of fluff etc. because that definitely sounds like overheating.
