I am unsure as to what is causing it as it is just starting to happen with nothing new occurring in the comptuer otherwise in the last month and a half or so. While playing games, mostly Smite and Diablo 3, my computer cuts out to a brownish color usually screen, makes a buzzing like noise, and restarts. I am not sure why or what I can do. Any help would be appreciated.

yeah your GPU is overclocked by a good amount. you need to download MSI afterburner and lower your clocks.

here is a page with the stock clocks

basically i would set you base clock to 1050mhz which in turn should make your boost to 1178mhz approx. the ram clocks are fine and already at stock. test these settiing and see if it resolves your issue. if it does you can RMA your GPU or you can slowly inch your clock speeds up until the system is no longer stable as it is now. find the highest stable cock and you should be good. sadly i have had this issue time...

The power supply was bought in about march or so this year, so not long ago. And for the GPU, I have no idea? I am not the most tech savvy and have never dealt with that. I have never set it to do anything.

Much thanks, I have afterburner already installed. How do I get along to doing all that you just said? Sorry, I am not the best with all this and I wanted to make sure I do it right.
