I recently bought a Ryzen 3 1300X CPU, an MSI B350M Gaming Pro motherboard and 8GB of RAM. When I booted the PC up, it worked fine for an hour or so, then it just froze with a buzzing noise. Second time I booted it up, the same thing happened. Now, it sometimes freezes and buzzes or restarts without any warning or a restarting screen whenever I play games or watch videos. I cleaned the RAM sockets, changed the RAM places, cleared CMOS and reseated the CPU and the graphics card.
Please help 🙁
 


It's an Antec PSU that I was using before I upgraded my my system, and it was working perfectly.
 


So I have confirmed that it is a problem with the motherboard, CPU or the RAM. I checked the other parts with an old system I had, and they were working perfectly.
