I cannot find the culprit for the random freezing of a newly built computer. It freezes on a hardware level, without any BSOD or warning, and when it does there is almost always this dynamic interference blasting out of the speakers concurrently. I've run HWMonitor and the computer is not overheating at all. This happens at any interval when anything (or nothing) is happening. All parts are brand new. The build is:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-HD3
Processor: Intel i3 4130
Power Supply: Seasonic S12II 520W Bronze
Graphics Card: Galaxy Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti GC 1 GB
RAM: PNY 2 x 4GB DDR3
Hard Drive: Western Digital Blue 3.5" 500 GB
OS: Windows 8 OEM

I've had this same problem. I was on a CyperpowerPC GUA250. I've replaced everything except the RAM, HDD, and CD Drive. The problem appeared to be my wireless adapter which was a linksys AE1000 adapter. I've just replaced that with a newer linksys adapter and my problems of what you described here have seemed to vanish. If you're not running that adapter then I don't know what you're problem would be.

My Original PC:
Gigabyte GA-M68MT SC-FS2 Mobo
8GB DDR3 1333 RAM
Nvidia GT 520 1GB DDR3
1TB WD HDD
CD/DVD Drive
AMD FX-4100
Power Suppy was a cheap 500w
Windows 7 64 bit

New Build
Asus Crosshair V Formula Z Mobo
AMD FX-8350
Nvidia GTX EVGA 550ti 2GB
Same Ram
Thermaltake 850W Smart Series Power Supply
Same HDD, CD Drive, and OS

Well, I don't have a wireless adapter, but that does bring up a good possibility, that some part might be just drawing goofy wattage.
