My computer starts freezing and I hear a constant buzzing noise from my headphones when I'm watching a youtube video and then launch MSI afterburner, and it only happens when I do that. Here are my specs:
i7-5820K
MSI r9 390 with Crimson 16.3 drivers
Asus X99 A MB
16gb Corsair RAM
Corsair RM850 PSU
Windows 10

Thanks in advance.
 


Your main issue is most likely the motherboard.
If you were not using Asus, you probably would not be having problems.
Change to another board, and the problems will likely be solved...I would recommend intel or gigabyte.

B. I do not advise you to run any "stress tests..." intentionally overheating the system does not really prove anything.

I do not have any other board, and to save up for one would take me months, is there any other way to check?
