My personalized computer is experiencing freezes accompanied by a buzzing sound originating from my headphones.
I’m incredibly concerned about this problem. I recently assembled my own PC in August, and it’s causing a significant issue. It predominantly occurs during startup and almost always when I'm gaming, specifically League of Legends and PUBG – Hellblade hasn’t presented itself. Strangely, within League of Legends, it can freeze even before matches begin, while I’m waiting in the queue. Freezes last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, accompanied by a buzzing noise emanating from my headphones (I don't have speakers). When it recovers, it’s usually fine, but occasionally a “fatal error” message appears infrequently. My hardware is not limited in any way, particularly concerning League of Legends. I have a Strix Z370 F, an 8700K, a Gigabyte GTX 1080, 16GB of Vengeance LXP (2x8 3000MHz), an RM650X PSU, a 970 EVO M.2 drive, and an H100i cooler. My case is a Corsair 275R. Does anyone have any suggestions about what might be causing this? Have I inadvertently damaged something during the build process? The only difficulties I experienced were with the HD Audio plug not fully seating in the pins; otherwise, the assembly was straightforward. Any assistance or advice would be very welcome.

The only difficulties I encountered were with the HD Audio plug not fully seating in the pins, otherwise the construction went smoothly. Could a pin be bent within the HD Audio layout?
Regarding whether a pin is damaged on the High Definition Audio configuration:
I am reasonably certain that the pins are correctly positioned and remain so on the motherboard. I’m unfamiliar with the specifics of the HD audio plug from the case, and this issue appears to occur regardless of whether I connect my headphones through the case's built-in sound output or utilize my wireless Arctis 7 headset.
An unexpected critical failure appears; please offer details if possible upon subsequent occurrences.

Okay! This is my initial wish for it to resolve quickly.
I recently accessed the NVIDIA control panel, disabling all NVIDIA-related audio configurations, which temporarily fixed the issue. However, after launching and updating GeForce Experience, the problem reappeared. Therefore, I'm reasonably confident that it’s not a hardware malfunction – this would be the initial step to take if encountering similar difficulties. I will investigate further with NVIDIA regarding this unexpected behavior…
