UPDATED VERSION
I have since replaced the PSU and the problem still persists
I have monitored CPU temperature and it's hit the highest of 75 degrees while running demanding games
Have ran a RAM test and RAM is okay.
ORIGINAL THREAD:
My problems started from when I installed the latest Nvidia GPU update. From then I started having problems with Microsoft C++ as it wouldn't let me boot certain games.
After I fixed that my computer would start freezing and make a really loud buzzing noise during games and web browsing (more noticeably in full-screen mode). Sometimes it'll go back to normal, sometimes I would have to turn the computer off by holding the power button.
I noticed once that the 'Nvidia drivers have crashed' in the bottom right corner (only once) I then re-installed and downgraded Nvidia drivers but I still encounter the same problems.
And once the screen went completely black and the computer just turned off, only once though.
I have been told it could potentially be a PSU problem?
Please be aware that all these problems have occurred over the last week.
SPECS:
i5 3570k
GTX 1070
Asus z77 Sabertooth
