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
 
Hi there @bradybirk and welcome to PCHF :)

Please post the log in your next reply :)

Please download the Sysnative BSOD Dump + System File Collection App - save to Documents folder.

Run the app - Double-click on the downloaded EXE file
Output = new folder created in Documents + a zipped version -- SysnativeFileCollectionApp folder + SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip.

Please note that the app averages ~3 minutes to run on most systems; other systems - it my take as long as 10-15 minutes to run. Please be patient.

Also note: The app auto-zips the SysnativeFileCollectionApp output folder. It is located in your Documents folder.
Windows Explorer should open and highlight the zipped folder

Please attach the SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip to your post and await further instructions :)
