hi, recently built a PC for gaming and light 3d modeling and i am having all kinds of issues.
my driver randomly crashes (hear the windows disconnect and connect sounds, display freezes and continues like nothing happened) and C4D randomly crashes saying there was a driver issue and to update my drivers witch are up to date (while hearing the sounds again).

my pc specs:
Intel core i7 4790
xfx amd r9 285
single 8GB ddr3 ram
asus h81m-k motherboard

please help me
 
Drivers are mostly corrupted.
Try this, it might work.
First of all you need to TOTALLY remove all the old drivers. Use this link.

Note:
Select the respective company(i.e Nvidia or ATI) drivers to be uninstalled.
Use clean and restart option.
And then install the new drivers after rebooting.
 


tried what you said and it looks like it stopped the display freezes and sounds but Cinema 4d (R16 studio if it helps) still crashes :??:

EDIT: I think I know what the issue is, after I turned off opengl in C4d everything went smooth and also in dolphin emulator I would get those noises when the graphics api was set to opengl but when I change it it works fine
