This has been going on for a while. I'll be playing a game and the display will crash, making some sort of windows noise, but still showing BIOS code AA. I thought it was the power supply, but I changed to a 1200 Axi and after a day of working perfectly the same problem arose. Im thinking it may be windows 10 at this point, but I'd like some input before I revert to windows 8. All graphics drivers are up to date. Its an x99 based system with top of the line components. Thanks for replies, looking forward to solving this problem.

make sure the mb bios is up to date. in the bios make sure xmp profile is on and ram speed is set right. there beed a known issue with the newer amd drivers and there gpu over heating. try using msi afterburner make sure the gpu fan are spining up to keep the card cool also make sure there working. as you replaced the power supply open the side of the case if it a small case with few fans see if the mb vrm are over heating or failing.

AMD fixed the fan-not-spinning-faster within days so get latest Crimson drivers if you have AMD Graphics card.

What kind of Windows noise is it? Any error codes?

Nvidia seems to have even bigger problems with latest GPU drivers.

Maybe give some system specs,

Download hwinfo32,

click run,
close the top window which is the system summary,
click save report at the left top,
in the next window at the bottom check=⓪ "short text report" after that next,you'll get to see what is in your pc,
copy that by clicking "copy to clipboard" and right click and paste in you next post.

As already said by smorizio, enable XMP to make the ram work at rated specs.With 1066mhz it runs at 2133mhz right now being ddr ram,it should be able to run at 2666mhz.

I haven't reead the manual for the motherboard,but what does "AA" mean as post code?

I also assume you have the Samsung software running at boot,disable it after boot to see if that helps when gaming.

Try steps given one by one.

AA just means the system booted and is running. I'm about to try the XMP profile change and i'll post again with results.

Anything in Event viewer, or BSODs being logged? AA should indicate everything is fine(normal operation) on ASUS motherboards. If normal Windows sounds are still heard, it seems likely to be a driver crash, or some kind of communication signal loss to monitor. Being that AA is still displayed, it seems like your system is still running, just no visuals. Windows 8 worked fine then w/ your current setup?
