Hi,
I have had this issue for awhile now and have been unable to solve it. Basically the PC will freeze entirely, with no warning, no inputs work, the hard drive activity light stops, and a continuous tone is played, it only seems to happen in games but has happened a few times when downloading something. It started around the time I installed windows 10, however after performing a clean install of 8.1 it continued. I have sent my PC back to the manufacturer for repairs in around December, which seemed to solve the issue up until last week when in returned, the manufacturer replaced the graphics card and were adamant that was where the issue lied. I have also installed the OS on a new SSD, ruling out the hard drive. I have no idea what it could be.

System specs:
AMD FX-6300
Gigabyte R7 360
MSI 970a G46
2x 4 GB RAM
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
FSP 500W PSU

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me insane.
Thanks
 


It's May be your PSU. What model is it exactly? A good 500w PSu will power your system, while a poor quality one will strugle.
