Hi,
So over the past few weeks my computer has been having some problems. Whenever I play a game on my computer, it starts making a strange, loud humming sound from the computer itself. I've noticed that whenever this happens right before the computer crashes, the fps on the game drops significantly, which leads me to believe that it would have to do with my graphics card. Any advice or help would be appreciated!
 
Is your computer liquid-cooled? If so it can also be the pump failing under load at higher RPMs. On the otherhand, it is likely to be your graphics card. Can we get some additonal information on what GPU you have? In the meantime, ensure that your drivers are up to date, and that your GPU is clean and is getting ample air flow.
