Windows 10: Computer freezes with loud buzzing sound no BSOD after fresh install of Windows 10 2004.

Greetings,


I recently bought SX8200 Pro M.2 SSD and decided that it would be a good time to upgrade Windows from version 1903 to 2004. I did a fresh install and then after a while problem started to happen. Basically during normal use like watching videos on youtube, PC suddenly starts producing this annoying loud buzzing sound in my headset which sounds exactly like this https://youtu.be/yNXeya80wdw?t=34 and freezes but not completely, because I can still switch between all my open programs but I can't open new ones. The max amount of time I waited is around 1 min and then it froze completely. There is no BSOD while it happens. The only solution is to restart the PC.


I suspect Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi 5.1 Pro driver or Nvidia driver to be the cause but I'm not 100% sure. The reason of my suspition is that I've read about Creative drivers compatibility issues with AMD AGESA bioses. The other suspiciton comes from the only minidump file on my PC:

Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro


Realbench 2.56 benchmark results seems to be fine.


I installed all of the Windows Updates and all the main drivers like AMD Chipset driver, On-Board Audio Realtek driver, Realtek PCI-E Ethernet driver, Nvidia 456.38 driver, Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro driver. I disabled fast boot, all the other sound devices, usb selective suspend in Power settings I'm using Ryzen Balanced power plan and stopped Windows Update from downloading drivers. I also upgraded my bios from 7C02v35 to the latest 7C02v37 version because I thought it could help but it didn't. When it comes to bios settings: XMP profile is enabled, changed CMS to UEFI boot mode, disabled On-Board Realted Audio because I don't use it and enabled PWM setting for my 3 Arctic P14 PWM PST fans, all the other settings are default.


I'd appriciate some help diagnosting this problem.

Windows 10 freezing with loud buzzing sound

i'm having a lot of problems on my Windows 10 machine and to be honest i'm giving up on it, it used to run games well but now it crashes with a loud buzzing sound even in games that it used to run flawlessly, any help will be appreciated since no one i know has wanted or cared to help me, i've tried updating drivers, windows memory check, updating motherboard drivers, checking drive health and none proved effective, even clean installs of windows won't help, what do i do?
