Hi guys,
My wife's computer has been experiencing this odd hiccup where her computer will freeze for a split second, accompanied by a buzz during the freeze.
I've tried looking around to get an idea of common reasons this might happen, but discussion seems to run across the spectrum with some people suggesting ram ... others saying video card ... some saying hard drive, and so on. Figured I'd come and check with the crew that rarely steers me wrong - Toms forums.
Worth noting - I'm pretty confident it is not the drive as I recently replaced her drive with a new SSD and a clean install of windows 10. So there is no connection with her old drive. At least I can check that one off the list.
About her computer. Windows 10 - i7 chip - 12g 1333 ram - gtx780.
More about the problem. Seems to happen randomly. Sometimes when playing a demanding game - sometimes when she is streaming - and sometimes only when doing something as benign as watching a youtube video.
I know it's impossible to provide an absolute diagnosis, but I'm hoping for some input on what will most commonly cause this type of behavior.
Cheers and ty in advance.
