Hi,

I have a desktop pc custom. Running windows 11. 23h2.

I have a core I7 8700k 3.70 GZ. Overclocked to 5.

I have a Gigabyte Z370 Aorus gaming 7 board socket 1151. I'm running this for an overclock

.
Now what happens is when I go to run videos weather it be through youtube or facebook or anywhere online. On Ocassion meaning that days go by and it will be fine.
Then all of a sudden I will get this buzzing noise when I'm running a video. And my whole computer will be locked up.
I will have to restart my computer and that fixes it but only temperaraly. Not sure if its coil wine.
I didn't want to go into the bios and reset the bios to factory defaults. Or optimized defaults until I checked with you. It only happens when I run video. And like I said it might be 2 or 3 days and it will happen again. I only have the processor Overclocked. Not the memory.
I also Bought 2 external fans that are sitting on top of my mid tower coolmaster case. Covering the 2 vents on the top of the case. So I just have 1 usb plugged into the back not sure if it's a 2 or a 3.0 port. And they both run at the same time.
I had the fan speed for both set to high and then I saw that wasn't working for the issue. So I went to medium where I'am now.
I thought this might be a sound issue and I was running an older driver from 2017 for my Onboard realtek sound. so I have the Software called Driver Booster. and I downloaded updated drivers for my realtek. The Publisher is realtek. But maybe the ones from Gigabyte would be more compatable. And would fix this issue I'm not sure.
In the power managment settings. In the control panel. I have The power scheme set to Power saver. Turn off the display set to never. Put the computer to sleep Never. Turn off hard disks Never. Or set to zero.
Sleep after never. Allow wake timers disabled. Usb Selective Suspend Setting Disabled.

Adjust Video Image Settings.

Edge Enhancment. Use the Nvidia Setting. Use Inverse Telecine. Deinterlacing.

Noise Reduction. Use The Nvidia Setting. Use the adavnced 3d Image Settings. I don't run Games. I'm not a gamer.

Hardware Accelerated Gpu Scheduling Is off in the display settings of Windows. Variable Refresh Rate is Off. Optimized for Windowed Games Is Also Off. Use Hdr is Off. And I'm not using Multiple Displays.

Should I take the video card out of my system and clean it? Just use duster cleaner or something Like that? Maybe that might help. I'm not overclocking the video at all. My Case is in a door Compartment at the bottom left of my desk but I have the door open. As well as the fans I spoke about earlier.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Uninstall Driver Booster, and never install it or anything like it ever again. It is not reliable. Manually acquire drivers from official sites. Gpu driver from Nvidia. Chipset, audio, lan, etc., from the motherboard maker. Same deal, if your peripherals and storage have their own drivers.

Remove the overclock too. It may not be stable, as well as being the reason for the buzzing, which is not coil whine.
That is trash audio signals received by the hardware which processes them. The audio driver scrambled when the PC froze. This doesn't necessarily mean the audio driver is the culprit, but perhaps the messenger. That's why I'm suggesting to remove the overclock.
