Hi guys,
I'm new here, just made an account to see if anyone can help me. As the title says I'm having a problem with my computer. When playing games randomly my computer will freeze and the screens will go grey. A loud buzzing noise follows, then nothing. The computer is still running, just completely unresponsive. Forcing me to restart.
The annoying thing is this problem only occurs with gaming. I have run Prime95 and FurMark to see if it's an overheating issue, it's not. I have run memtest to test my ram but no problems were detected.

The link above is to a YouTube video of the problem.
My system specs are as follows;
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X4 965
Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H
Palit GeForce GTX 660Ti Jetstream
Corsair XMS3 1600mhz 2gb - X3
Akasa PaxPower 500W

Thank you to anyone that reads this
Jake

I have run Prime95 and FurMark to stress my CPU and GPU. Both ran without problems

thats way to low for this build you will have to get something alot better with power 80+ bronze/silver/gold otherwise it will keep crashing from low power.
