Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:

“I recently purchased a new PC (i7-8700K CPU, RTX 2070 GPU, etc.) primarily for gaming and streaming, but I'm experiencing intermittent freezing issues. During these freezes, I hear a buzzing sound from the speakers. This only occurs when playing games or streaming content – it doesn’t happen with my secondary monitor.

I’ve already attempted several troubleshooting steps, including updating all drivers (using Easy Driver), updating the motherboard BIOS, reinstalling Windows 10, and monitoring hardware temperatures to rule out overheating. I've also tried using only one monitor at a time via both DisplayPort and HDMI. Despite these efforts, the freezes persist.

This is particularly frustrating given the PC’s high cost (€1500). I’m seeking guidance on further troubleshooting steps as I’m relatively inexperienced with PC problems. Could you advise on what to investigate next?”

It can be your ram or hard disk problem.
Just take out your Rams and try them one by one this will tell you which of your ram is faulty if there are any. And second thing might be your hdd problem as you said you have reinstalled windows, updated all drivers and checked temps every thing was fine thn you should just check your hdd. If you have any other harddisk than try to run it on your PC or take harddisk from any of your frnd just to check weather it's a hdd problem or not.

Just try
Just disconnect your hdd and ssd and run any other hard drive which is running ok on other system. If the problem persist then check your Rams one by one. First take out all of your Rams and then try them one by one only one at a time in different slots.

This question is a bit circular! To answer effectively, I need to understand *why* you're asking about potential issues with software or games.

Here’s a breakdown of what we need to consider:

Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:

“I am currently running Windows 10 Home – version 1803. My primary activities are playing World of Warcraft and watching Twitch streams. I frequently experience freezes while gaming in WoW, sometimes even when just observing a stream without any game processes running. I typically play WoW on one monitor alongside an open Twitch stream. I’m planning to investigate potential hardware issues, including swapping out my hard drive, SSD, and RAM, and will provide updates as they become available – likely within 10-12 hours.”
