Since last week all of a sudden my PC started making a long beep and static noise through my speakers. I noticed it the first time when I left my PC idle on my desktop. The only way to stop the noise is when I restart my computer.
Other than noticing these sounds from my desktop, it started happening more so when playing games (Dota 2) I experienced the long beeping noise followed by either the game freezing or black screen with pink pixel lines.
I used DDU to remove my display driver and reinstalled the driver again. After my PC rebooted I was able to play games like normal for the next 2 days without error (Crysis Remastered) Today as I was playing Crysis Remastered again the static noise came on and the game froze for about 3 seconds, and then I was still able to play the game but the static noise kept going on so I manually closed the game and restarted the PC without force restart.
So another uninstall with DDU again and no errors for now but I know within a day or so it will happen again since I do a lot of gaming. Could this sound/crash issue be a bug with a recent NVIDIA driver update? I did a scan of my drives and no errors, so this leaves me to rule out that this must be a problem with my GPU. Only had it for about 2 1/2 years. A GTX 1060 seems hard to come by these days, and the price would put a hole in my wallet. Any suggestions?
