I recently purchased a second-hand Omen 17 - i7-7700HQ, GTX 1070, 16gb RAM, etc. as a replacement for a simiarly-specced Clevo that developed unfixable issues. While very satisfied with the PC specs-wise, it has an issue with freezing in some games, including Skyrim AE, Sims 4, Lord of the Rings Online. All games that have specs that should be no problem whatsoever for this laptop. Sometimes they may freeze almost immideately after loading, other times after a long session of gameplay. The PC does not seem to get hotter than normal. Other games seem to not have the issue. Nor does it happen in "normal" use (browsing the net, streaming). I'm quite at a loss here.... RAM issue? HDD issue?
