Hello everyone. So I have an MSI R9 280X gpu, an i7 4770k, and a EVGA NEX750B 750 watt psu. The CPU has been overclocked to 4.2GHz, the GPU is using stock clock speeds.
Here's my problem: I can run furmark and most games without issue, but certain games cause very noticeable coil whine, which is often followed by a system crash. No bluescreen or anything, the computer just instantly shuts down, as if it lost power. Using fraps, it seems to happen when the fps gets really high, like above 1000. For example, little inferno causes it consistently on the startup screens, where I get ~1300fps, very loud coil whine, and often a system crash. It is not just little inferno though, any application that runs at a high FPS will cause it. The coil whine starts when FPS gets somewhere around 500, the system crash issue starts happening when FPS starts to get above 1000.
I have tried monitoring temps, they don't seem to be the issue, nothing is getting abnormally hot when I experience these problems.
It's not really the coil whine that concerns me, I can live with the noise, it's the system crash that bothers me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
