So I'm at a total loss and can't figure out what's going on.

Sometimes my computer will freeze up under heavy load meaning Pandora, Counter Strike and a bunch of tabs open or sometimes it will just freeze up if I'm listening to Pandora while browsing the web. It can be sporadic and sometimes it won't happen for a day or sometimes it will happen twice in a row or more and I am not able to use my computer for the rest of the day.

This can also happen if I plug in a USB device to case USB.

When I am idling, like reading my textbook in chrome the computer will randomly freeze and make a high pitched sound.

Idle temps are in the teens and at load around 25 for the CPU and 30 at most for the GPU.

My specs:

AMD FX-6300
Gigabyte 970A UD3P
HyperX 8GB x2
Evga 500 Watt
GTX 750 Ti FTW

I do not think it is the Ram because it has passed a Mem test

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I think it could be the processor, because every other part has already been RMA'd
Along with these issues I frequently get a BSOD and this is a fresh windows install on a Samsung SSD. I have already tried re imaging multiple times.

Possible thoughts I'm having are the CPU or motherboard but everything is pretty new.

This sounds like an issue with the CPU
while the temps are not all that bad in some cases, it sounds like overheating somehow, I know it sounds stupid but lol
But it really does sound like it has to do with the CPU

Should I consider getting an RMA on the CPU
