Hello,
Two weeks ago, I builded my first pc. In the first week, everything was running fine. In the second week, I was playing a games and my computer freezes. It was making some buzzing/loop sound. It came from my speakers that are connected to my monitor. My monitor is connected with a HDMI cable to my pc. Sometimes my pc freezes while playing games, watching youtube and websites like netflix. While freezing, I can reset my pc with the reset button. I updated my drivers and my BIOS. What could freeze my pc?

Specs:
Mobo-ASUS MA597 EVO R2.0
CPU- AMD FX-6300 (no overclocking)
SSD- Samsung 840 Evo
Hard drive- Western Digital Blue WD10JPVX
GPU- XFX R9 280X-TDBD, Black Edition
RAM- Kingston HyperX Blu 8gb 1600 MHz
Case- Cooler Master CM690 III
CPU COOLING- DeepCool GAMMAXX 200
DVD burner- Samsung DVD Burner DVR DL 24X
OS- Windows 8.1

everything looks good to me....it may be a software issue then its better to scan your full system with a original updated antivirus...and also if possible connect you gpu and monitor with a dvi or vgs cable just for testing.....i read a link with similar problem .....here it is....

I helped a friend a few months ago who had his desktop connected via HDMI to his TV. He could play intense games all day, watch blu-rays, or anything else graphics intensive, but once he started using flash video or games, the system would hang and the speakers would emanate a horrible buzzing sound.

After lots of troubleshooting, we found out his GPU was able to be exchanged under a 3 year manufacturer warranty. Swapped out cards and the issue went away...

prime95 for cpu keep it for 20 min.....and furmark for gpu for at least 15 min ..
see if it happens in safe mode or not , Check RAM : http://www.memtest.org/


I have finished the 3 stress tests runs as you said. While the stress test, there was no sign of freezing. Does this means that the hardware don't causes the freezes maybe? Can software or drivers cause freezing? Haven't run any gaming sessions yet.

Test results:
Prime95(20 min): 37 degree Celsius - 66 degree Celsius
Furmark(15 min): 35 degree Celsius - 77 degree Celsius
Min: 42 fps - Avg: 49 fps - Max: 49 fps
Memtest: 1 pass - 0 errors

so if your gpu is under warranty try replacing it ...it may be a faulty one...

I have the exact same problem. Just upgraded from an ASUS manufactured amd r7 270 to an ASUS manufactured r9 270x video card. This has not done a thing for me and the freezing continues. When I reboot the first temperature readings via HWMonitor are all nominal when it comes to CPU & GPU (usually about 60-65 degrees Cels back in the winter, now 65-70 due to summer heat)

Generally speaking, the freezing occurs during what i consider to be even minimally taxing games (crusader kings II, prison architect, even sometimes old titles such as diablo 2 crash it) I can completely forget taxing games that by all means my system can handle.

CPU - AMD fx-6300 3.5 GHz
MOBO - MSI 970A-G43
GPU - ASUS Radeon R9 270x
RAM - 8 gigs 1600 mhz ddr3 (forgot manufacturer)
HDD - western digital 1 tb @ 7200
OS - Windows 8.1
PSU - Rosewill Hive series 750 watt

I'd like to add to my post that, the amount of people with this issue and very similar hardware is truly alarming. It seems to largely be a group of windows 7/8/8.1 users that have pretty decent rigs that can't run shit. This issue is extremely frustrating. My computer and many others like it are completely useless for jsut about everything but web browsing, which is even difficult.

My computer stopped randomly and buzzed sometimes while watching a youtube video or playing music on spotify. I have a Lenovo 64-bit Windows 8.1 computer. I reinstalled adobe flash player entering " flash player 64-bit windows 8.1" in google and going to the adobe website. After that the problem still existed, but i restarted the computer and the issue was solved. Hope It can help!

This same thing started happening on my computer just a few weeks ago. I am trying to see if it is a conflict somewhere in windows sound. I went to the event viewer and right during the crash there is a raid 0 critical error so it could be a bad sata cable or bad ssd or hard drive. It is very strange no blue screen just a freeze with a buzz some sort of conflict somewhere. The speakers start to crackle a little bit and the the buzz and freeze.

If you go to control panel and type in the search memory windows has a built in memory tester that is pretty good. I am running it now on my computer to see if any memory is bad.
