Hello there,
Getting black screen while playing games (GTA V, Rust) with a strange looping buzzing sound (from the speaker - no beep code). Signal gone, no error code. Have to hard reset to be able to do anything. Getting these crashes varies from playing 10 minutes to 1,5 hours of gameplay.
System Configuration:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H170-HD3
CPU: Intel i5 6600
Memory: 16GB DDR4
GPU: Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8GB
OS: Windows 10 x64 (1709)
Driver: 17.12.1
PSU: EVGA SuperNova B2 750W
BIOS: F22c
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch a demanding game
2. Wait to crash with black screen
Expected Behavior:
Game runs smoothly without crashing the whole system.
Actual Behavior:
After playing 10 minutes to 1,5 hours, black screen occurs with buzzing sound from speaker. Can't do anything, have to hard reset.
Additional Observations:
Can't think of anything what could produce the crash, I had this system for almost 2 years now with no problem. It all started in the middle of December with a few crashes -like 1 per week. But now, it's getting really frustrating, I can't really play at all for longer period of time.
Things I've tried:
Things to add:
Temps are peaking at around 72C (and 81C for the VRAM), but I've heard that it's normal for a hawaii card. Fans are working properly, so I don't think it's a heating problem -at least not the GPU.
Also, the PC keeps running after the crash with all the fans spinning.

Things I've tried:
■ cleaned with ddu -> updated to latest 18.1.1 - still having black screen crashes
■ cleaned with ddu -> installed old 17.9.3 - still having black screen crashes
■ updated to latest BIOS version - didn't resolve issue
