So let's state this first of all: I tried so many things. I even underclocked my GPU to avoid the crash with no luck.

Things you should know: I mainly play Smite and it only happens when I'm gaming. Buzzing sound used to happen, but now it sort of just suddenly cuts the sound with like a bang sound.

Underclocking using MSI Afterburner: https://gyazo.com/3950d507a1f374e8189447b5dc7babac

Components:

GPU: EVGA 970
Processor: Intel i5-6500
PSU: EVGA 650W Gold
MB: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO
RAM: 2x 4GB Crucial

EDIT: Forgot to mention that it crashes and I have to hard reset the PC and it takes about 2-3 minutes to get back into the game (which is A LOT in a MOBA). Sometimes the screen would go to a solid color then recover, but the GPU fans stop spinning (rarely happens anymore tho).
