I had an XFX DD 7950 and when it got too hot, or overclocked too high and stressed, it would freeze the PC with a weird 'buzzing' sound. No clue if it's the same problem.

If it is, you can try increasing the fan speed so it stays cooler, and/or downclocking the GPU a bit.

Keep an eye on your GPU temp. If it gets near 80°C while gaming awhile, adjust for more cooling and maybe lower GPU speed to help stabilize.

I will try to increase the fan speed, will probably take more time than expected since they changes the ways you are suppose to increase it with the new amd radeon setting (I'm more familliar to the old catalyst version)

Yes It was around 67- 81 not sure if it was going higher when freezing but when playing overwatch that was around there.Now my fan speed is at 75%, it was at 46 default I hope to see result. I will tell you if there any change.

Ok I've changes my gpu and the problemes is completely gone.My gpu is now a EVGA Geforce gtx 970(really nice gpu by the ways no complain so far) so not sure how to fix the issue but 100% gpu related problem. Having fan speed higher helped me for a while.
