Computer freezes+ buzzing noise

Mavs41 · Jun 25, 2014

So latley my computer keeps freezing, and when it freezes a buzzing noise will play through the speakers/headphones im using. Only way to get it back to normal seems to be jsut to hold the power button down and re boot. I checked windows event viewer and at the times it froze it says kernel-power event id 41.

Specs:
gtx780
intel 4770k
asus maximus vi hero mb
corsair hx750 psu
16gb of g.skill trident ram
250gb samsung 840evo
older seagate 2tb barcudda hdd

which os you have?
check your power management in your os if you put it in stand-by / hibernation / performance mode ?

I have windows 8, and under power plan it says samsung high preformance

Change the 'Put the Computer to Sleep' to 'Never'

I had the same issue and that was the only way to solve it.

thanks

Just checked any it was already on never.

The kernel-power event id 41 is from using the power button. I have no idea how to troubleshoot though. Sorry.

Mavs41 · Jun 26, 2014

Well at least I know what the error messages are from, now just to figure out the main problem.

badboyrog2 · Jun 26, 2014

can you check if your psu have a good voltages readings?

Mavs41 · Jun 26, 2014

I don't have any tool that would allow me to measure the voltage. Everything is still under warranty so maybe I should try sending parts back for new ones?

The buzzing sound is normal when it freezes. Troubleshoot it like it is a problematic new build unless if it is easier for you to just send stuff back. For me, shipping adds up but it is up to you.

I use

HWMonitor (for general information): - the voltages are not accurate though

CPU-Z (for multiplier double check and RAM information):

GPU-Z (for graphics card load, voltage and temperature)

I mainly monitor everything to see if there is a need to downclock anything from stock speed due to higher summer temperatures.

All the temps seems fine to me gpu/cpu where both around 35-55c playing batman arkham orgins

I am obsessive about reinstalling the operating system whenever I have issues. I had the hibernation issue after reinstall to solve other issues and after changing 'put the computer to sleep' to 'never', everything was good again.

Are you using a surge protector?

Mavs41 · Jun 27, 2014

badboyrog2 · Jun 27, 2014

ok this is a good idea to check if your surge bar working properly , try it without the surge bar and let me know

Mavs41 · Jun 28, 2014

Well it hasn't froze for like 2 days now but its done that before.
Edit: Well it just froze again
