My computer freezes completely forcing me to hold down the power button to restart it also makes a sound loop noise which sounds like a buzzing noise when it freezes, this only happens when I play certain games and I'm not sure why.
The main games that freeze the computer are DayZ (Arma 2 mod), Battlefield and for some reason Candy Crush on Facebook, however it doesnt seem to happen when I play Minecraft or World of Warcraft.
The temperature seems to be fine whilst playing, I have done multiple virus scans and nothing has come up. I have an overclocked CPU but I've seen that fixing that still doesn't work for other people. My graphics drivers are also up to date and I have tried installing older versions back to when it didn't freeze and that didn't solve it either.
Here is my system spec and temperature with just this page open:
