Hello, my PC will randomly freeze with a buzzing noise while playing a game and i would have to shut it off with the power button. It varies from time to time anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours after starting the game. Usually it's around 40 minutes.

The games i usually play are XCOM 2 and CIV 5.

Here are my PC specs.
I'm not super tech savvy so i'm not sure what to do. I tried updating the video card drivers in the device manager but that didn't fix it.

Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_ltsb.170204-0600)

BIOS: BIOS Date: 09/18/15 14:26:41 Ver: 04.06.05
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.0GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
Memory: 24576MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 24412MB RAM
