PC crashes with buzzing sound while gaming

[mcroesti]

Hey Guys I hope someone here can help me. My PC crashes regularly while gaming (usually when there’s a transition between gameplay and menue/loadingscreen). There’s no Bsod, but a buzzing sound coming from the speakers. I have to shut down my PC manually. I’ve read tons of forum posts and tried pretty much anything but it still occurs.

I can stress my PC with a stress test or benchmarks and it won’t crash. The fans aren’t dusty. GPU Temp at my last crash was 81°C, CPU Temp was 86°C, Event viewer says Kernel 41.
So far I cleaned the registry, updated all drivers, dusted off the components, defragmented my PC.

My specs: Win 10 home
16 Gb Ram Corsair Vengeance
Asus GTX 770
i7 4770K
Asus H97M-E Motherboard
Seasonic SSR-650RM Power supply.

Does anyone have a possible solution?

Hello

The Kernel 41 error,does point at the psu. Please download and run this software and then post a screen shot of the voltages.

Here are the voltages. But I believe the Kernel 41 error is because I have to turn off the computer forcefully.
What’s funny is, speedfan says my system temperatur is 113°C. I’m guessing that can’t be

Can you run MemTest?
Not the PassMark Windows version, but the one located here http://www.memtest.org/

Just be aware that MemTest in its default configuration does not test all memory range.
After you boot MemTest, press:

(c) Configuration
(2) Address Range
(3) Test All Memory
(0) Continue

Will run it tonight. I’ll send the results tomorrow

Okay so Memetest was negativ. no errors detected. I took a second look at the cpu fan and found it to be rather small, so I bought a new one today. I will post an update later

How many passes of Memtest did you run and did you test each stick individually.

Hold off on swapping this out for now as it may be avoidable.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

I already changed the fan. So far so good. temp was alway below 55°C
I did 2 runs at the Memtest and I tested all Memory

When not under any load your CPU should not be so hot, in the 40° range maybe but not 50° +

Any idea why your RAM is not running at 1600MHz like it should be.

See below;

How to physically test your RAM with or without also running Memtest 86, this may take some time to complete but is a more accurate test than running any software while all memory is in the board.

The following checks require the computer case to be opened so take the following safety precautions 1st, disconnect any attached hardware such as the keyboard and printer etc, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket, press the case power button for 10 seconds or so to get rid of any residual charge in the system, remove the side of the case, be sure to take anti static precautions before touching anything inside, you can do this by touching a bare metal part of the case or the PSU.

Have a pencil and notepad to hand.

Remove each stick of RAM and blow out the memory slots.

Insert the first stick of RAM in memory slot one, reconnect the power and in the case of a desktop computer the video to screen cable.

Power up the computer and see how it goes.

Make a note of the results.

Repeat the procedure until the first stick of RAM has been tested in each memory slot and the results written down.

Remove the first stick of RAM and put it to one side on top of a piece of paper with the number one on it for identification purposes.

Repeat the procedure with all RAM until each stick has been tested in all slots, the results written down and the sticks identified numerically.

Please note that some MBs (motherboards) will not boot unless there is RAM in slot one, in this instance check each stick in slot one and then leave a stick in slot one while the sticks are tested in the other slots, be sure to replace the stick in slot one with another so that can also be tested in the other slots.

The 55°C I was refering to were achieved while gaming Assassins Creed IV on high settings.

Any idea why your RAM is not running at 1600MHz like it should be.

I have no Idea why this is. I went looking in the BIOS and chose 1600MHz. I know that my MB and CPU support 1600 MHz.

No mention of Assassins Creed 1V or high settings there

Levity apart, temps look ok now and hopefully swapping the cooler will have resolved the issue (y)

Yeah probably should have mentioned that
I will definately test my system further
