Hi there,
I recently built my budget PC and only just recently... I have been getting random freezes where Screen freezes, no input is allowed (meaning no ctrl alt delete..), and speaker gives loud buzzing noise.
This has happened playing HoN or LOTRO.
I play all games at max setting and it has been fine in the beginning..
My spec is
Windows 7 Home Premiun 64 bit
Gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3 Motherboard
Processor: Intel Core i5 -2500 cpu @ 3.3 GHz quadcore
Memory 8 gig
DirectX is version 11
GPU is GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Power is 650W. I have a small cooler and 3 fans on the box
I have been playing on my Samsung 27" HDTV Syncmaster P2770HD and i thought dual screen might have been the issue so i have been turning off the other monitor while gaming.
It cannot be the overheating issue becuase I have speedfan installed and the temperature of GPU is always around 60-70 Celcius, which seems normal.
I heard it could also be the sound issue... but cannot understand why. I have updated graphic drivers, and i have HDMI connection to the TV. Event log doesnt show anything 'odd'... I relaly don't wanna go through the hassle of sending it in for repair and what not... Can anyone provide help!?!!? Please! Thanks!

By speaker I assume you mean the main speakers you plugged your computer into, not the onboard speaker? Does that motherboard even have a speaker on it?
Does that motherboard have any error LED's?
Probably first thing I would try is reseating RAM and GPU and if that didn't work.... try someone else RAM or GPU.

Ill give that a try.
Additional info:
I've tried intel diagnostics, and under extreme stress, cores were fine and passed the test.
I also tried Furmark testing to put extreme stress on my GPU, full screen 1920x1024, x4 AA and etc etc, temp went upto 88 degrees Celcius, seems pretty damn high, but it was stable at that temperature, and did not cause a crash.
Now that i know its not the processor and the GPU, only sound comes to my mind. Yes, Medrea, it is the 'headset' i plugged into my PC speaker (which is connected to my PC by HDMI).
There 'could' be a collision between the motherboard audio and TV audio, but I am noob in audio sector, so I have no clue what to do :/

I had a similar problem with my new computer, but without the buzzing noise.
You might wanna try this; Go to the BIOS and disable some energy saving option, I think it is called green power. I did this and it fixes my problem which could happen about 2-3 times a day.

I've tried BIOS setup but there is no energy saving option...
It is driving me crazy!! Do I have enough power? could that be the problem?
or maybe cuz i have dual monitor? but I have only 1 turned on for gaming..
It is insanely annoying, i know its not the cpu or gpu... it freezes so randomly and usually the gaming situation is really relaxing too without too much movement -_-
please help!!!

Check for Intel Speedstep. (Do they still call it that?)
That should be what the energy saver is actually called.
|
in BIOS?
turning that off will really help?

Thought I'd post in this thread as its the most recent one and I'm getting the same problem.
Basically when I'm playing SC2 or other full screen games or watching a full screen stream/VOD, my screen will freeze (no input is allowed) and the speakers will loop the last maybe 1/2 second of audio to make it sound like a constant buzzing.
Other times when I'm not playing games or watching video, such as just browsing forums, it will randomly reboot my computer.
I updated my video drivers but the problem keeps occurring. I downloaded HWMonitor to check temperatures and everything seems normal, except one temperature for my motherboard is at 70c+ (TMPIN1), however I don't know if that is normal or what that means.
My processor is overclocked and I'm wondering if maybe that has something to do with it, but I know very little about overclocking. This computer came overclocked.
I've had this computer for roughly 3 years now and this is the only trouble it has ever given me. Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Razith: Some possibilities:
1. Deteriorating overclock.
2. Overclock dependent on a deteriorating cooling system.
3. Failing PSU.
4. Failing RAM.
Posting a screenshot of HWMonitor after playing SC2 for a while may give more information, but otherwise the first thing to try is reverting your overclock.

I had just exactly the same problem, it turned out that it was caused by CPU overheating. Simply cleaning the cooler helped me for some time and changing the thermal grease fixed the problem completely.
