Twice now my computer has frozen, accompanied by a terrible, angry, buzzing/beeping noise through the speakers. It is my first build, and as such I'm not really educated enough to even make a guess as to what is causing it. It doesn't respond to any keyboard or mouse input and I end up needing to reset it. Here's what I've noticed:
- It has only happens when I am online
- It has only happens when a flash applet is running (once on chesscube.com, once on piq.codeus.net)
I know that might not mean anything, considering it's only happened twice, but I've put in like 20 hours on Steam and maybe 3 hours browsing online, so these crashes do seem connected with it. I've checked the temps and voltages after rebooting, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Here's my build:
- intel i7 2600k
- p8p67 deluxe mobo
- gtx 570 superclocked
- ripjaw RAM
- 800W power supply
- CM 690 case
- Zahlman cpu fan
- hard drive, disk drive etc.
All my drivers are up to date.
For some reason, I don't know why, I suspect my graphics card. Does anybody have any insight as to what might be causing this?
EDIT: also it has only happened when I've not been using head phones, as I only use my monitor speakers when not gaming. Idk if that's important, but there it is.
1the buzzing sound is probably from whatever audio you were listening to ATM and being repeated a billion times a second. – James Mertz – 2011-09-12T18:21:29.563

Can you try the procedure I left here and report back to us?
