New(ish) build freezing regularly

[jpsenior]

Hey everyone,

I built a computer about 2 months ago. i was initially having some issues with in-game lag and things of that nature; this issue was discussed here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/29677-63-build-performing-expected

Turns out my processor just isn't good enough. But i don't think that's any reason for the computer to freeze and make noises.

Here are the specs:
1. AMD A8-3850
2. Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H FM1 AMD A75
3. OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W
4. G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
5. Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16
6. Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB

So i lag regularly while playing Starcraft 2 and the computer has frozen at least 4 times during gameplay. When it freezes, i can't even Ctrl-alt-delete or anything like that; also, there is an annoying buzzing noise that never goes away while the computer is frozen..

I originally thought that it might be either/or a driver issue or some of the hardware is dying or something like that. Diver genius professional edition tells me all the drivers are up to date. But i guess there could still be a problem.

Comments, suggestions, answers?

If you guys think it's driver related or hardware related, i'd really appreciate it if someone could toss me some links to programs the check hardware and good programs to do clean driver uninstalls.

Thanks in advanced!

I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM! Im also using a 6850 and to further explain the actual problem, a game would usually run fine for quite a few hours or until the computer wakes from sleep mode and would initially began by small individual freezes with the sound freezing as well and it generates a buzzing sound. After this it continues to freeze in shorter increments and longer freezes until it is a permanent freeze followed by a blue screen. After a restart everything returns to normal. Tried memtest, and will try stressing the cpu to see if there is any instability - I'll post with an update ASAP

Same problem with my pc too. I have AMD3870K on the same mobo, Geil EVO Corsa 2133Mhz @1866, SSD hdd and 2 sata drives, no dedicated video card, Thermaltake 750W PSU. However i got no bluescreens but video freeze. Until now it only happened when playin World of Tanks and when i play hd files on win mediaplayer. Now i got a freeze just after pc exit sleep state.

here the solution.i read from other.. first sory i not fluent in english..
actually you have to download cpuid HW monitor.is about cpu heat.
when you install many thing on your pc it make cpu temperture increase. you uninstall program that you didnt use and you can see cpu temperture is down..
