Specs CPU: Ryzen 3 1300x 3.5Ghz (under clocked to 3.3) GPU: Geforce Gtx 1050ti Evga MOBO: ASrock AB350MPRO4 RAM: Hyperx fury 2X8 2400 Wireless card: RNX-AC1300PCE PSU: EVGA 450W B3 moular bronze CPU heatsink: AMD Wraith HDD: WD blue 1TB I have recently built a new PC in late December and it was working perfectly fine. until 3-4 weeks after i built my new PC it started freezing whenever i would load into a game. it only happened when i loaded into a game, until it got worse it started happening at complete random. When i say it freezes i mean it completely locks up, my screen freezes, audio will stop, i cant CTRL+ALT+DEL, i cant open task manager, my lighting on my RGB mouse will also stop and i end up having to hard reset. after experimenting and trouble shooting i found some part makes a noise that is a squeal or some click/beep noise that is hard to describe. the noise only happens when it freezes and not during startup
what i have done to troubleshoot. i put Ultimate Boot CD onto a USB and ran some diagnostics. i did 8 passes of memtest, i also ran windows memory test, i also ran a video memory test for 10-15 passes and no problems, a ran some GPU benchmarks i downloaded on chrome and there is no performance drops. i ran crystal disk info on my hard drive and everything was looking fine.i also did everything they say to do on you tube, i ran WD's test and its a really long test that i tried running multiple times but it froze before it could be completed. i also ran a CPU stress/diagnostics test i downloaded from chrome and my PC froze in the middle of it so i uninstalled my CPU and checked the pins and everything was OK so i replied the thermal paste and fan and it was still freezing. i reseated my RAM and GPU and still no solution. since all of my tests were passing i figured it was my PSU that i cant test it then its probably whats failing so i replaced it and 3 days ago i put in my PC and it seemed to be the solution. My PC was working perfectly again and i was playing my games with no problem. until it started doing it again last night. it would freeze up loading into a game and sometime make the noise. and then it got to when it freezes whenever. i believe something is damaging the PSU and i don't know what it is any kind of help would be great, Thanks
EDIT I forgot to add but i clean installed windows 10 , 3 times
