My brand new PC build has started to crash up to 3 times a day, freezing with a continuous buzzing from the speakers. Updated a load of drivers today, and the latest crash came with a blue screen of death, and a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE ERROR.

Used BlueScreenView to view the dumpfile and it says the drivers that are causing the crashes are hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe, but I have no idea what this means, having never debugged before.

Some things to note, there is no increase in fan speed or volume before the crash, nor are are components noticeably hot pre or post crash, in fact some crashes happen within 15 minutes of booting.
 
Solution
remove any overclocking software
remove any overclocks
remove any Asus software (if Asus motherboard)
remove MSI Afterburner

WHEA = Windows Hardware Error Architecture. Errors called by cpu but not necessarily caused by it.

What are specs of PC?

can you go to c:\windows minidump and copy the files from there to either desktop or My Documents folder
Upload the copies to a file sharing web site and share a link here.

hal.dll = hardware abstraction layer - part of windows that sits between hardware and kernel
NTOSKRNL = windows kernel. It handles all driver requests, power management, and memory management. It sits between Hardware and Applications. It got blamed but its not the cause
