I just built my first computer, and it keeps freezing. If I am listening to any audio there will be a buzzing sound, and then everything will freeze. This has happened a few times overnight while I was trying to DOWNLOAD an update for windows 10, once while trying to download it again while watching a video in 5k player, and now that I have installed the update, it was working for a few hours this afternoon, then it crashed again while I was trying to download Microsoft office while watching a video in 5k player.

My build is:
- AMD FX 6350 6-Core Socket AM3+ 4.2GHz Processor W/ AMD Wraith Cooler
-MSI 970 GAMING AM3+ ATX Motherboard
-G.SKILL RipjawsX 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Desktop Memory F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
-Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 460 WindForce OC 4GB Video Card
-Samsung 750 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA SSD MZ-750250BW
-Seagate ST2000DM006 2TB BarraCuda 3.5" 7200RPM SATA3 Desktop Hard Drive
-TP-LINK TL-WN851ND Wireless N300 PCI Adapter (there was no driver for windows 10 that I could find, but it seems to work but idk)
-Thermaltake TR2 S TRS-550AH2NK 550W 80PLUS ATX Power Supply

Any suggestions - Thank you for your time

Overheating. Change thermal paste, buy aftermarket cooler for that processor. Make sure your cable managment is proper and the cooler has room to "breath".

Other less likely might be the PSU, you can try another one but i think it's most likely overheating :).
