Random freezes in Windows 10 to a random colored screen, sometimes makes a buzzing noise.

[Yung Jayke]

Hi, ever since I built my new PC around a month ago, I've been encountering random crashes in games. The screen usually turns a random color, and sometimes it makes a loud buzzing noise. I don't think it's the PSU, as I've tried using a friend's but the problem persists. I would love to find out what's causing this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

That's a terrible power supply, sir. Throw that trash away and get yourself a nice EVGA SuperNova 650W

I know that you tried using your friend's power supply, but his PSU might be just as bad as yours too.


If that didn't work, then it might be that your RX 480 isn't placed correctly.

Even the source mentioned that bad power supplies cause frequent crashes.

Actually, before you get the power supply, try monitoring your CPU and GPU temps with MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X

If the temps are not threatening, try testing your RX 480 in an another system.
