Okay, so this started happening a few months ago.

The card was so far okay, and then when I decided to use dual-monitors, I plugged the primary monitor in with an HDMI and the secondary with a DVI cord. However as soon as I started running a game (League of Legends) I noticed there was a very loud buzzing noise, almost too noticeable and irritating as well. And sometimes the screens flicker, and cease to work as well with a screen that displays white, green, blue and pink vertical lines. Sometimes the screen will go black randomly as well. The random flickering and white and black screen can happen even when I'm not playing a game.

So I rule out that this must be a GPU problem? I monitor the temperatures when I play games and it never reached above 60 C. I do overclock the card however, it is not overheated and it should have sufficient power from my 500W PSU.

Is there any way to remedy this buzzing and GPU crashing?

Please help.

i would first remove the overclock and see what happens. Overclocks can be stable at first, but hardware degrades and even the drivers and software can change how the OC responds. It does sound like there is a hardware issue with the vid card but drivers can also cause some strange issues. Try another driver, even use something like driversweeper in safe mode to remove all traces of reg entries from previous driver versions, then install the latest driver, or the last driver you used where you did not experience problems.
