Computer hangs with annoying sound when playing games. (Probably power supply)

[gimblygt]

Processor:Intel Core I3 7100
Graphics Card: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 TI Extreme Overclock (I'm not overclocking)
Motherboard : Biostar B250 GT3 Racing
RAM : GEIL Evo Potenza 8GB Dual Channel
PSU : SeaSonic S12ii 520W
Storage : TOSHIBA 1TB 7200 RPM
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Those are my specs.

And I'm assuming that it's my power supply that just don't have enough power. My PC hangs frequently when playing games. Which could give me heart attacks any time. Since I'm using headsets. Is this a problem with my Power Supply?

Thanks.

Could be multiple things, your PSU is enough watts, it could also be a dying GPU or a bad motherboard, the only way to know is to swap in working parts, try a new PSU if you already have one or a friend has one you can use, if the problem persists try a new GPU or onboard graphics if you have.

Yeah that's what it sounds like, do you have another to try, one that pulls similar or more power?

Bad GPU? Should I use the warranty?

If it has one then yeah RMA it and get a new one.

I also got my PC suddenly shut down with buzzing sound first. Is it the PSU or GPU?

Buzzing how? Like coil whine buzz or electrical buzz?

 

[gimblygt]

My PC also shut down suddenly rarely. Might be PSU, also, when shutting down it buzzes for a second, freeze, and immadiately make my computer restart.

What type of buzzing? Its probably your PSU, I don't think your GPU would make it restart.

The buzzing is the same, sorry. Posted twice, didn't know the server was lagging. I don't think there's a warranty for my pc .

Could you record a video of the buzzing noise? I can take a look at it later and get back to you whether its a problem or not.
