I have tried to solve it myself, but I just can't anymore and it's been bugging me for almost 2 months.
The Build:
The Problem:
It freezes randomly with a constant buzzing sound (silent if it there's no audio before the freeze). Sometimes it lasts 2-4 days without a freeze, and sometimes only 1-10minutes before freezing again. It freezes even at startup, in the BIOS, in-game, at one point during a Windows format, and basically anywhere.
Things that happened:
Things I have tried:
All those but to no avail.
Notes that might help:
It has been really really frustrating and I'm tired of endlessly forum crawling. Please help.
The Build:
CPU: FX-8320E
MOBO: Asus M5A99FX Pro r2.0
RAM: 4pcs 8GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX 1866 CL10
GPU: Sapphire RX480 Nitro OC
PSU: Corsair RM1000x
The Problem:
It freezes randomly with a constant buzzing sound (silent if it there's no audio before the freeze). Sometimes it lasts 2-4 days without a freeze, and sometimes only 1-10minutes before freezing again. It freezes even at startup, in the BIOS, in-game, at one point during a Windows format, and basically anywhere.
Things that happened:
•It mostly freezes as mentioned above
•Twice, it froze and the screen went blank red
•Five times, it just turned off and restarted
•And once it just turned off
•Sometimes after a crash, it displays American Megatrends with "overclocking failed"
Things I have tried:
•Monitored temps with HWMonitor and SpeedFan and nothing's overheating
•Reformatted multiple times when I though it was software
•Bought a new PSU (RM1000x)
•Tried a different RAM stick (a single 4GB Crucial 1333MHz)
•Tried a different graphics card (GT 730)
•Downgraded and upgraded every BIOS versions
•Tried lowering the power plan cpu to 80% min and max
•I tried playing around manual frequency inputs and DOCP profiles as well as turning off turbo core but havent played around with manual timings and voltages since I dont know how and I might cause more damage (Sometimes after a freeze, I check the Ai Tuner tab in the BIOS and see that the board underclocked the ram to 1115mhz (I think?) and changed some other settings but still didnt help and still led to freezing)
All those but to no avail.
Notes that might help:
•The GPU is brand new and was tried on a different PC before and it has no problems
•I have tried overclocking once months ago with the graphics card using TRIXX but resetted it (also reformatted many times after that), never overclocked since
•I think the problem started occuring when I put the new RAM but not sure
It has been really really frustrating and I'm tired of endlessly forum crawling. Please help.
