My PC has been freezing up and buzzing from the speakers for the past year. I've tried replacing the R.A.M sticks, GPU and PSU. I also downloaded the latest drivers for all components. Nothing has helped. Some games cause this problem every time but others don't. Mafia 3 causes this problem from time to time but games lie Arkham knight do it every time. It also sometimes happens out of no where, e.g. when i'm watching youtube videos or searching the internet. Any help is appreciated.



PC Specs

CPU - FX - 6300
GPU - Gigabyte Windforce R9 270
Motherboard - Gigabyte 907A D3P
Memory - Ripjaws G.Skill 2x 4gb
Storage - Samsung 850 evo
PSU - Cooler Master v750
Case - Zotac Z9 (or something)

I believe you have a more severe version of whats happening to my PC.

I have a Gigabtye GA 970A UD3P, with AMD FX 8320.
With the same RAM as you.
Mine seems to be heating up *somewhere*, causing buzzing from my PC internal speaker, or direct from the motherboard.

Try using Open Hardware Monitor, and see if any tempuratures are above what you expect.

One sensor on my motherboard regluarly hits 80°C, at which point I get the buzzing.
I've heard this is the Northbridge or VrM

The only difference is, my PC is stable 99.9% of the time. And the odd lock up is often at a random time, rarely under load, which I attribute to a software bug rather than instability.

Wow, this could be couple different things. From just sound of it the buzzing could be from something either not grounded or possibly from some type of feedback. This going to be tough to fix and time consuming and may require rebuild entire system and check connections. I have seen a case 'feedback' cause system to reboot or lock up randomly.

Thank you Cosmicspaehead for advice. I took a picture of the PC stats once it froze and uploaded it to google drive... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6qtvC5LEtJvWWdfaGoxVXBTVkk
