Hello! (Not sure if this is posted under the right category)

I've been having some issues with my computer. When playing games such as playerunknow's Battlegrounds, h1z1 my pc suddenly freeze and I can't do anything. Hard restart required. Sometimes when it happens it makes a VERY loud noise into my headset for a few seconds.

I have tried to do some stress tests on my GPU and my CPU but no crash has occured when doing so. And the temps stays within a decent range. I have also checked the harddrives.

My specs:
MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB
Intel Core i7-7600 skylake 3.40Ghz
Crucial DDR4 2133MHz 16GB (4x4GB)
Corsair CX 600M, 600W PSU
Akasa CPU Cooler AK-959CU
ASUS Z170-A, Socket-1151

Refresh your windows install ( restoring factory settings without deleting private files). Maybe your motherboard is overheating for some reason... and how long do you stress test for?

I didnt stresstest for that long only for a hour or so. But I noticed today while playing PUBG that my GPU was at 81 celcius. Can this be the problem? And if you think this might be the problem, any suggestions for a graphics card with my setup?

Temperature with the game closed: https://gyazo.com/e6933f1a7e5900a33a280455a18e3ad9
Temperature with the game open without playing: https://gyazo.com/31d52f1aa82f3dcf28ddc61aac34f38a
