So this has been happening for a while now, but recently it has been more frequent, not sure why.
Sometimes when I am playing games, listening to music or watching videos (MKV 720p x264 on VLC Player) the computer pauses for a few seconds and makes this angry buzzing noise from the speakers, I suspect the noise is just a side effect of the freezing though.. these pauses seem to be getting more frequent, sometimes just very short buzzes.. sometimes long ones.
Sometimes they produce BSOD, sometimes they don't.. today one of them did..

BSOD Report:
I haven't been able to narrow down what is causing this problem. I used to have the bios setup to this "smart overclocking" which basically bumps it up on demand, I think.. I have a temperature monitor always running so I know it's not overheating.. right now it is on the normal mode, but it's still happening.
I can't recall correctly, but I think that when the lock up occurs, there is a spike on the CPU usage, which might be caused by the system (I found this using Process Explorer).
All drivers are up to date.
I ran Hyper Pi on 32M for 10 minutes, I had my music playing during it as well to check if it'd interfere with the audio like I previously described, but nothing interesting happened besides some lag.
The length of the spikes vary quite a bit, anywhere between a split of a second to about 3 seconds or so.. I've had the longer ones when gaming
Completed chkdsk with no errors.
EDIT:
I have the mini dump and a xml file produced by the BSOD, I can upload it somewhere if it helps.
