Hello,
About two years ago I built a pc that was supposed to be a starter machine for animation and video editing. Up until recently I had been using a 32" seiki tv as my main monitor running at a 1368x768. Decided it was time for an upgrade so I purchased a 27" sceptre 4k capable monitor now running everything at 3840x2160 30hz.
It ran fine before, (I got the new monitor yesterday) and now all of a sudden it starts freezing.
Im wondering if the problem is the graphics card not being able to run effectively at this new resolution, and I need to go ahead and upgrade that now or if it could be something else going wrong.
Specs:
CPU: Intel core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad core
Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA B150M-Ds3H Micro ATX LGA1151
Ram: Anarchy 16 GB(2 x8Gb) DDR4
Storage: PNY CS1311 120GB SSD
Hitachi 2TB HD
GPU: ASUS STRIX Radeon R7 370 Overclocked 4GB DDR5
PSU: Antec 450W ATX
And I'm running windows 10. I was watching a youtube at 1080 60fps video full screen, the sound started buzzing and it instantly froze if that helps.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you in advance!
