Windows 10: Pc freezes, blue screens with a buzzing noise

Pc freezes, blue screens with a buzzing noise

Computer randomly freezing with loud buzzing noise

Thank you for your help. I ran the tests you told me to. Could you help me read what these numbers mean and what the root cause could be?

 

Freeze, Buzz and Blue screen

So i upgraded to windows 10 about a year or so ago. Everything was fine until around August of this year, i began experiencing random freezes no matter what application i was using, whether it be Chrome, Brackets, YouTube or other and when i have audio running
during one of these freezes it creates this buzzing sound which is like a rapid loop of the last sound. Sometimes my pc will recover and continue with the video/application, other times the buzzing sound will last for up to a few minutes and then inevitably
show the blue screen of death. This got severely bad around the start of September, to the point were i sometimes couldn't even get passed the log in screen for my pc, even if i did it'd only last for 30 minutes at most. Eventually, after multiple blue screens
within a 10 minute period, it gave me the option to completely reinstall windows 10, getting rid of all applications that didn't come with the pc, while still keeping my personal files. This worked for a few weeks until i started getting the freeze and buzz
again, but since it didn't blue screen i didn't want to mess with anything. It didn't blue screen until tonight.

I'm afraid that it will go into total shutdown mode again which i can't have happen. Having to reinstall all my office 365, adobe and other such apps this deep into the college term would be a bit annoying to say the least. I've searched for updates on a
handful of relevant drivers like processor, sound (a forum suggested it) etc. I've searched for updates to windows 10, my pc seems fine temperature wise.

It shouldn't be a virus either, i had both avira and windows defender the first time it happened, windows said that running another antivirus on top of defender could cause conflict so i tried it out but evidently it's not the antiviruses fault since it's
slowly happening again.

I have an asus manufactured PC;

AMD FX 8300 eight core processor (3.30 GH)

12GB ram

AMD Radeon graphics card

I didn't have this problem on windows 8 (granted i was only on it for about half a year), so i assume this is a windows problem and not a hardware fault.

 

Laptop freezes and makes a buzzing noise

Hi Jami,

To isolate this concern, kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you made any changes on your computer recently?
• Does it happen after installing an update?

You may run System File Checker and DISM Tool to check if there are corrupted system files that are causing the issue. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type each command and hit enter:
  
  sfc /scannow
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

You may also perform a clean boot to isolate which programs or applications might be causing the freezing and buzzing noise on your computer. To do this, kindly refer to this article:
