Freezing w/ Loud Buzzing Sound

[billymayshere]

My specs

• 
  GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 ti
  CPU: AMD APU A8-7600
  RAM: 8GB
  Hard Drive: 2TB
  Motherboard: MSI Orchid-S
  Power Supply: Corsair CSX600m 600W

To start, I would consider myself a gamer, and a little while ago I upgraded my computers graphics card from radeon r7 graphics to a gtx 750 ti and shortly after I started playing some of the games I have on Steam such as Far Cry 4, Grand Theft Auto V, or Dying Light. Whilst playing those games, it would be about 2-3 hours in where my computer would freeze with a very loud and obnoxious kind of buzzing noise. About couple weeks after, I asked my friend about the issue and he suggested I get a new power supply (which was originally 300W) because it wasn't enough to power everything, so I bought the new 600w one. I had thought that had solved it but the freezing happened again. I have no idea what is going on and any support would be wonderful

*Side note: I was told that the problem is that my computer cant run the game, but if that were the case, wouldn't it just run at a lower frame rate, because I still get about 40-60 fps on these games.

Thank you in advance.

Sounds like heat, what's your temps?

does the screen say anything, like "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE...."

Without any games running my gpu stays around 33,, and with games running it is around 55 so that may not be the problem

No, it just freezes with the buzzing, and all I can do is manually turn it off. No error messages.

Is the noise coming from the hard disk? Can you pull the side off the computer and try to isolate it when it freezes up?

No :/ the noise comes from my speakers

Oh, I had a laptop that used to do that.

Make sure all drivers and your BIOS are up to date. I had a display driver that would crash and do that.

How would I go about updating the BIOS of my computer? (HP Pavillion 500-314; upgraded gpu and power supply)

My Nvidia drivers are already up to date

Look on HP's support website. They may or may not have a newer version there.

Sorry for the late response; I went on the support website, and scanned my computer for driver updates, and BIOS wasn't one of them

 

[dudeman509]

It wouldn't be automatically detected. Search for your computer model specifically - it's showing a BIOS update for my HP Laptop there.

Yeah, I went to support, looked up my model number, selected the right model, then clicked scan for driver updates and all the driver updates show up but BIOS wasn't one of them. Maybe a pic to see what I should see on my support screen?

If you don't see anything, then don't worry about it.
