So I have been having issues with my PC crashing, usually when gaming. The screen goes to a random colour and there is a loud buzzing noise. I then have to hard reset the system. Sometimes the screen will go black and it comes back with a pop-up saying display driver has stopped responding. I bought a new PSU today and plugged it in hoping it was a faulty PSU, was working fine for 4 hours but just crashed on me. Therefore it must be down to my GPU. I have tried every test imaginable and havent been able to reproduce the crash. I have also troubleshooted through multiple threads to no avail.
If anyone has any other reasons for the crash or solutions im all ears but I believe it is a GPU error. I am looking to purchase a new gtx770. I was looking to upload my specs here but couldnt find an attachment option. If you follow this link where I posted in different forum you can view my specs in a .zip folder.

I had something similar with my G73JH-A1 from Asus (it's a gaming laptop). It was and it is still the biggest lemon I ever bought. All in all, it was the graphic card.

Post your build.Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - usually 3 screenshots in TinyPic or similar.
Do a bios reset.
Do a checkdisk with repair
Do a hard drive scan - eg Avast, Malwarebytes
Try a different graphics card. Try your graphics card in another pc.

Bios is most up to date did it 5 days ago. Done scans, also I think its highly unlikely its a virus causing this as I have re-installed windows on a separate partition and still had the crashing. Dont have a spare GPU lying around to test out, or a spare pc unfortunately.

Okay so here are my results from HWINFO. I'd like to note it crashed and recovered while it was recording so maybe you can find something.

You only seem to have 5.5GB ram - check it with memtest86.
Your CPU is running OK - 50C max.
Your PSU is running great.
Your GPU is running at 71C with 1.175V Have you overclocked it?
Blow your case out with compressed air to get rid of built up dust.
Get rid of any overclocks.
Bump up your cpu and gpu fan speeds.

Thanks for getting back to me. I checked my memory with memtest for 12 hours previously but I shall do that tonight again. Why do I only have 5.5 G? I have x2 4GB Kingston plugged in. PSU is brand new so im glad its running great!
I have not overclocked anything. Are those GPU figures strange?
I blew my case out with compressed air a week ago, that was the first thing I did.
