Hello, I recently seem to be having a problem with my PC it's not a year old yet which concerns me, as to why this is happening.
So I'll start by giving you my specs:
It started around a week back when I was playing Battlefield 4 it would go off not as frequently but it would freeze to were nothing would respond so it would force me to reset. I would reset and it would boot up normally. But ever since it has become more noticeable and annoying, I do remember I changed something on "AI Suite II" which said auto tune, I thought this would be a great idea since it was built for the computers etc etc. I went on to think it was my Windows because it had been acting really strangely when I started up, so what I did was narrowed it down to the HDD's being corrupt.
Information on the freezing:
It was normally around 12-16 hours it would freeze and barely noticeable so this is why I left it, just thinking it was something weird with the files or whatnot.
As I left it for a while it grew on the computer and start freezing every 2-4 hours, this annoyed me because I wanted to do was play video games and I couldn't even watch a Movie.
It would also give off a buzzing noise, but not all the time.
I did a fresh reinstall of the PC and booted up the computer with nothing on but the drivers for my components, I then loaded up Windows 10 (I know people hate it, but it's got a nice layout and I like it.) Opinions aside I thought the freezing was gone but was I wrong, the curse was back the computer froze up and I'd restart in frustration.
I asked someone what the problem could be and he asked if I did anything to the computer recently I said I remembered about the AI Suite II he told me to go into the BIOS and click "Exit" and "Load Optimized Settings" after the computer restarted I thought "Thank god that was probably the problem all along, oh well" and got on with my night until later that night I was playing some games with a friend and I joined his Minecraft server and was playing around for around 10 minutes (Bare in mind the computer was at least up for 6 hours at this point and I had been playing some other things before hand.) The computer took a huge dump all over me and I swiped it off as a one time thing 'again'.
I loaded back up and the computer was running fine again, it lasted around another 6 hours until I turned it off for bed. But the next day I was excited to play the Witcher 3 so i logged in and was sat by myself with a drink and full of excitement I was adventuring my little heart out until the game froze and the sound would give off a buzzing noise. So I press the restart button and dread the PC yet again turning back on. Everything loaded normally again and was up and ready to go but I knew it would only be for a little while. (The Witcher 3 session lasted for 2 hours mostly)
I thought at first it's the games it has to be so tried to play a bit more and looked into somethings about people having problems like I was having but nothing I could get my head around. Finally it came when I was searching the web with a few other programs in the background running like avast, razer comms, gog, origin, steam etc. It crashed. I knew then it wasn't anything to do with the programs etc.
I tried taking the HDMI lead out and use another but nothing.
Note: I had the PC blue screen once (ever) it was last week when I was going to stream Black Ops 3 it froze 2-3 times and blue screened once.
Long story short I want to play the Witcher 3 but my computer is taking dumps on me halp? ;-;
Edit:
I was watching a series today with each episode around 20-30 minutes and the computer would freeze around every 1-2 episodes.

I did forget to say the only files I saved were some photos of family, game saves of Witcher 3, terraria and modded Minecraft.
I thought at first it's the games it has to be so tried to play a bit more and looked into somethings about people having problems like I was having but nothing I could get my head around.
