So I've had my computer for about 4 years now. However, I upgraded it 6 weeks ago and this problem has occurred around 10 times now. The first two times it happened, I was just playing videogames and it just froze up on me and made a weird constant buzz noise till I forced it to shut down. The third time I was playing video games but I loaded up a video on my other monitor and halfway through the video it froze up and made the same buzz noise.
However, one time I was on skype when this occured and heard my friends talk in extreme slow motion (they sounded like a robot I should add) and they could not hear me.
This problem did not occur prior to reinstalling windows, and upgrading a new motherboard and processor.
Now, I have run my core temp and the processor is not at all defective, they all stay around 40 degrees Celsius. However, my graphics card can go up to about 90 C (194 F) but usually is around 80 C (176 F) when gaming. I know these are high temperatures and I feel as if the problem lies within my graphics card but to be honest, I really don't know.

My computer specs:

Cpu: i5 4440 (recently upgraded)
Mobo: Asus Z87-A (Recently upgraded)
OS: Windows 7 64bit (reinstalled because of Mobo)
Video: GTX 560 Ti 1gb
Ram: 6gb ddr3

Thanks so much guys!

This was pasted from my last thread. My problem occurs daily now and not only when I play videogames but when I am on Netflix. I have done multiple virus scans and I'm am very certain that is not the problem. Please if someone can help me that would be great. Thank you.

Was the buzzing sound coming from your speakers or from somewhere in the case? What power supply do you have and how old is it? Since you suspect the video card, have you been able to put another one in to see if the problem remains?

I initially suspected that your PSU might be failing and that the buzzing was coil whine. Assuming that you are using rear on board audio, can you plug in your speakers to the front audio to see if you have a bad audio port? Ensure that you're using all of the latest motherboard and video drivers and that you also have the latest BIOS. You could also run Prime95 to put your PSU, CPU, MB and memory under load with the speakers unplugged to try to determine if something else is a problem. Also run Memtest. Are any USB devices plugged in when you get the buzzing? Since you can't replace the GPU to test it you need to test the other components to make sure they are working properly. Double check all of your wiring as Yaksh suggested and make sure no lost screws could be causing an intermittent short. If they all are, then it is likely the GPU.

-At first, my front audio ports were not working, I could hear very little audio, but after a few weeks they went back to normal to I resumed using the front ports. What does this mean? I had also questioned if it was my PSU, as I upgraded the motherboard and CPU, which I assume uses more power.
-During the buzzing/slowmo audio, the only things plugged into my usb ports and my mouse and keyboard.
-I will check my wiring and replug everything as well.

600 watts is fine for your system as long as it is putting out clean power. Prime95 will stress your system (including PSU) and determine whether or not it is stable. You could have loose connection in the front audio port - was it also making the buzzing sound when it was plugged in back?

yes, the noise when my computer freezes comes from my speakers which are hooked in the back, and if I have my headphones plugged into my front port, the noise comes from my headphones
