[SOLVED] PC Freezing and sound loop

Hi guys. I need some advice on an issue I have been having recently.

My pc specs:

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit


CPU: RYZEN 5 1600

PSU: Antec 500W VP500PC bronze plus

RAM:G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZB TridentZ 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200MHz CL16 1.35V

GPU: RX-590P8DFD6 8GB GDDR5 256-bit

MOBO: MSI B350M GAMING PRO
So I recently updated my BIOS to the beta version (I ended up switching to the stable version). I then installed AMD Ryzen master and overclocked my CPU using the app to 3600. I was following a guide.


I stress tested my CPU and everything seemed to be in order. I then tried messing with the memory control options and moved my memory slider to 1,600 MHz (I don't remember the exact number) It asked me to restart. After the restart, my pc started freaking out and crashing when I got into my desktop. I managed to turn off the Memory control via an old system restore point.

Every now and then my pc will just freeze up and the sound starts looping. I need to hard reset it a few times before it runs again till the next freeze. It happens randomly. I can be idling on my desktop, watching a video or playing games, it happens regardless.

I have been dealing with a few power outages recently in my area if that has any effect?


I also had Memory Dumps, Windows Log files, Windows error Reports, DNS Cache, and Chkdsk File Fragments turned on in my CCleaner options under custom clean.


My question is did I somehow break my Ram or PSU by messing with the ram MHz? Or did I break something on my MOBO? Will I need a new PSU, Ram, or MOBO? Any info would be of great help. Thank you very much!

Firstly make sure all the drivers are updated, this happened to me and i went mad trying to look for a fix, but turned out all i needed to do was update all my drivers. Also make sure you dont have 32-bit file installed by mistake.
