Well I've had this problem for a while, it didn't use to happen too often but lately it's been happening all the time.
My computer freezes with a buzzing sound coming from the speakers or headphones. It only happens when I'm gaming.
Now some more details:
I've upgraded some of my pc parts and the problem is still there, this parts are: CPU, GPU, HDD, case and power supply. To try stability I've run Prime95, Furmark and Memtest86 and I haven't had this problem happen when running them for hours. Also I'm always monitoring my temps and they're good (65 Celsius max for GPU and 50 max for CPU) .
The one other instance where I've had something similar happen were a couple of times when I touched or connected something to the front panel and there was static, and there was a static discharge which caused the same freeze. I thought it was a badly grounded case but as I mentioned I've used two different cases and the problem persists.
I find it weird that it only happens while I'm gaming, sometimes I can play for hours and nothing happens and other times I can't play for too long before it happens.
So could it be the motherboard? Or the memory (the only other part that I haven't replaced)? Or could it be just a grounding problem?
My specs are:
M5A97 R2.0 Asus Motherboard.
FX8350 AMD CPU
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1333
GTX 770 Zotac
650watts Rosewill Capstone
Antec Three Hundred Two
