Hi, I have just replaced my old (MSI) R9 270 with a (Gigabyte) GTX 1050 as the old R9 270 died.
After the replacement, my PC starts crashing randomly (gaming, surfing the internet, or during start-up). It shutdowns by itself randomly and sometimes it gives a continuous buzzing sound+the last image of the game not until I do a hard reset. At first, I thought it was the RAM problem, but I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic, and no problems were found.

My PC specs: AMD FX 8320E; MSI 970 Gaming; HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3@1866MHz; Gigabyte GTX 1050 2GB GDDR5; Cooler Master V750 80+GOLD(semi-modular); WD 1TB Blue; HyperX Fury 120GB SSD

Just to let you know, is that they were all in stock speeds and they were all using stock coolers, so PLS HELP!!!

If it started happening after you put the 1050 in, it's likely that your 1050 is defective. If you can try it in a different computer that would be the ultimate way to test. If you can't test it that way it may still be in your interest to RMA it and see if you can get a new one.
