Recently I've updated my graphics card from a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 to a Gigabyte R9 290 GV-R929OC-4GD. It loaded up alright but within an hour or three after starting a gaming session the game would freeze and a buzzing sound would come from the speakers. At first I thought it was the card and so i sent it back and got an ASUS R9290-DC2OC-4GD5. Alas, the problem continued. I've so far ran a few benchmarks (prime95, memtest, 3d mark, etc.) with no issue discovered and even used MSI afterburner but unfortunately the problem continued. If I put back my original card it runs fine for long gaming sessions so presently I haven't a clue as to what the issue may be. Any ideas anyone?
