Hi guys, it's the first time i write here so i hope this is the right section.
Anyway, i've been experiencing a pretty serious problem while playing some games on my PC: basically, at random times, the computer freezes completely on the last frame reproduced, and starts emitting a strange sound that seems to be the last frame one constantly repeated.
The system becomes completely unresponsive and the peripherals seem to disconnect from it (the keyboard caps lock LED doesn't light up anymore), and the only solution is forcing reboot.
Rarely the PC overcomes the problem after a couple of seconds, freezing and then restarting rendering the game.
This seems to be unrelated from the intensivness of the software i'm trying to play with, because games like GTA V and Resident Evil 7 haven't gave me any issues.
With other games instead, like Crysis (the one from 2007), the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy porting and some areas of Wolfenstein 2, it is pretty much sure to experience a freeze after some time, that could be two hours or a couple of minutes.
I've tried running the OCCT CPU and GPU stress tests for about an hour and they haven't gave me any problems, and i'm at the moment running the Prime 95 blend test with no issues.
I also changed my RAM sticks some months ago to see if that was the problem, and it doesn't seem to be it.
CPU and GPU temperatures and usage seem to be in pretty normal ranges (around 80/70 and 30/50% respectively on most games i have issues with).
Here's my system if it can help you:
CPU: AMD FX8320;
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990XA UD3;
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury, DDR3, 1866Mhz, 4x4 GB;
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970;
Disks: Samsung EVO 860, SATA III, 256 GB/ Western Digital Caviar Blue, 1 TB, 7200 RPM;
CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer Xtreme;
PSU: Antec HCG 620.
Thanks in advance.
