PC freezes and makes disturbing buzzing noise

[joe_201]

I got a new PC for xmas (zoo storm mana i5-4460 gtx 960 ) and I installed all the graphics drivers and games etc and I clicked on a game that I really like and loaded it up. It worked fine for about 2 minutes and then it froze and made a horrible buzzing noise. At times it will say ("your nvidea driver was not responding and has recovered") I have tried all the videos on YouTube and everything but none of them work. PLS HELP !!

Pre-builts come with awful power supplies.

This is EXTREMELY common, and we can almost promise that the power supply is the problem.

You'll need to replace it with a quality 500W or better PSU.

yes but mine is a 500w psu @greens

Unfortunately it probably only gets 300W to the 12v Rail max. And even then, it can only provide it going downhill with a tailwind.

There are plenty of ways manufacturers can fluff numbers for PSU ratings, and plenty just straight up lie.

Get a high quality, 500W or better PSU and your problem will go away.

That is actually a pretty terrible power supply 🙁

Should have given you this list sooner. I would not go lower than a T3 PSU.
