Recently my computer has been freezing while playing games. How intensive the game is does not seem to matter (it has happened with Supraball, Dota 2, Witcher 2, FarCry 3). It can happen within 5 minutes of playing or after much longer. The image will freeze on the screen (no lines or graphical anomalies) and the audio will become a looping buzzing sort of sound. After it freezes like this I cannot control+alt+del and have to do a hard reset. I have had my computer for over 5 months now with no issues, this has only been happening for the past few days. I am confident that it is not an issue of overheating as I have checked the temp of the CPU and GPU under load and they are fairly normal (GPU was at about 70 degrees Celsius when it crashed playing FarCry 3 and my CPU gets up to about 62 degrees Celsius when under load using Prime 95.) I thought it may have been an issue of new video card drivers I recently installed, but I did a clean install of the old drivers that I had while the computer was stable and the problem still persists. Thanks in advance or any help.

I'm not sure if there is more system info you may need but that is all I can think to put down. Just let me know if you need to know anything else.
