System freezing accompanied by a buzzing sound and increased fan activity.
I've been facing this problem for months. Most of the time, my PC freezes completely, the fans spin loudly, and sometimes a buzzing sound comes from my headphones before it crashes and forces a restart. I've checked the CPU and GPU temperatures—they're usually normal or slightly high. I've tried adjusting the voltage, updating BIOS and drivers, but the issue still happens in some games. Interestingly, certain levels or sections seem to trigger it too. It's really frustrating and I'm starting to worry. Do you know what could be causing this?
Unless there is a short circuit inside your computer (you can inspect for loose wires and foreign objects) this is certainly not normal behavior. Hard to tell without experiencing the shutdown myself but I think the likely suspect is the power supply. Make sure that all the wires and cables are properly plugged and inserted all the way. If nothing changes, I'd try with another power supply (500W is certainly enough but you may use a higher wattage if you can't find a 500W anymore at your computer store). Good luck !
