GPU problem? can someone quickly help :) thanks

so
when i installed my "evga gtx 660" however, i had problems.
I heard buzzing sounds from my screen, and without lowering the memory clock and core clock using afterburner my GAME would freeze/crash instantly, sometimes my whole PC would freeze because of this. BUT IT only hAPPENED when playing games i.e. assetto corsa, arma 3 and others.

I should hopefully be receiving my RMA on wednesday etc as I submitted one in and sent in my GTX 660 to EVGA, and using on-board has been perfect, no issues what so ever or "nvldmm stopped reponsinding and freezes".

so my question to you guys is
do you think my gtx 660 was faulty? (still waiting for my replacement) or no?

i have a gtx 660,
intel core i7
850w evga psu etc

Could be, just wait for the replacement and try it out.

alright but if its not then what DO YOU THINK tell me,
what it must then be

I really can't say for sure. Most likely GPU, otherwise a PSU issue? Have you overclocked your CPU at all? A bad overclock can also show similar problems.
