My computer, every once in a while, will completely freeze up and a constant buzzing noise can be heard from my headset. I always have to hard reboot my system and then it is fine for another couple weeks until it does it again. It happens so rarely that i forget it has the problem, but when it happens it is extremely frustrating. It also only happens when playing games. Any help would be great. I have already replaced a hard drive and graphics card and i don't want to shell out any more money for a new computer that works right so i want to know how to fix my issue. Thanks for any help!

System:
Intel core i3-3220
PNY gtx 750
Asus micro atx motherboard
corsair 500 watt power supply bronze grade
8 gigs mushkin 1600 speed ram
500 GB Western Digital hard drive

I can't give a concrete answer, but it could be some driver issues or your psu can't handle the load (even though 500W should be enough). When you build your build, did you put the metal spacers inbetween the motherboard and chassis? lots of stuff could cause such an errror.

Yes, i did put the metal spacers in between when i built it. I just updated the graphics drivers but of coarse i cant tell if that worked because it doesn't happen often at all, and i have tried that before. I am honestly thinking it is either the power supply or worst case scenario the motherboard, but i feel like if it was the motherboard i would have more problems than this.

try to monitor your temperatures while you play or get some "Intel burn test" and stress test your system, to test if the cpu overheats (or if your system crashes while you stress test and the temps are fine, it could be the psu).
Maybe some cooling paste isn't properly squished inbetween the cooler and cpu.
And while you're at it, try to stress test your graphics card with some furmark too.
