Hello. So basically whenever I play music loudly my computer freezes. I can't do anything. I have to turn it off from the power button. I have my speakers KRK Rokit 5 next to my pc and this has happened before but it happened rarely and only when the music was very loud. It only happens on bassy songs. Now when I slightly turn it up it freezes. I removed my pc from the desk and I turned the volume all the way up and it didn't freeze. A couple of days ago I opened my case to install a few fans but I didn't touch anything else. I am wondering which component could be affected that makes the computer freeze?
My specs:

B450 Tomahawk Max
Ryzen 5 2600
Gskil trident z 16gb
Msi gaming x Gtx 1660 6b
SSD: Samsung 860 evo, 970 evo plus, wd 1tb, seagate 2tb
Corsair LL120 fans
Meshify C case
Thanks

Still would not hurt to test what is happening on loudest volume when mentioned speakers are moved in some distance from computer. And even better - plugged in different wall socket. Computer freezing on loudest volume alone without electrical problems in audio output does not happen and shouldn't happen. Also - are your computer freeze when audio is played on loudest volume through different speakers or headphones? I believe this will not cause any computer problems at all.
Uneducated guess - on loudest volume speakers vibrate, cause pass vibration to anything around and dislodge something inside your PC. You should try to avoid vibration passing to PC case from speakers somehow. With rubber pads under PC case etc. And secure anything inside PC case if possible. Maybe move speakers elsewhere.

I do have rubber pads under the case. I also added an hdd a couple of days ago but windows is installed on my ssd.
