Crash with Buzzing sound

[GoleKar]

Hello,

I start this new post as I can't seem to find any solutions to my problem.

Some other people have posted here, unsuccessfully as they got no answers.

I'm trying my luck !

 

I've tested all of the sketchy solutions you can read online, on youtube videos and such, and before replacing any piece of harware, I would prefer to be sure of what it is.

 

To start the story : everything was fine until christmas 2018.

Then I got a set of corsair fans as a gift, I installed them, nothing fancy here.

The problem started to show-up not long after.

Weird, really weird, I touched nothing but PC case fans, and I started to get these random crashes with horrible buzzing sound.

 

To summarize it does this : https://youtu.be/sJ3yXpY5yoc?t=58

 

The issue was "fixed" during quite a long time after a complete new install of windows and drivers update.

But today, I got the problem, again, for no reason.

I really thought it went away, but nope, seems not.

 

One fellow user here got pretty much the same problem and didn't found the solution. (with fans i mean...)

 

If someone has any idea of what it could be from, i'll be willing to take his precious advice.

 

Thank you all very much !

Hello,

Sorry bothering you again with this, but it went calm until now.

Just did it again, that d*mn crash.

There is no typical behavior for this. It's so random. 

If anyone has any idea... 

 

Thanks.

This might be a dumb question, but where did you plug your fans in and did you try not plugging in the fans at all to see if the problem persists? Is you PSU going out or something and can't supply enough power to everything that is plugged in? If you did a fresh install i doubt it is a virus of something of that nature. It could also be strictly driver issues with installed hardware. You could also try to update the bios and not just the drivers  for the hell of it (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170-P/HelpDesk_BIOS/).

Hey many thanks for that answer.

Yeah, I tried without the fans, and still the same issue.

It's so random...

The fans are plugged in the mobo headers, and for the extra ones in a splitter like a corsair 10 fan header.

It is plugged on a dedicated sata.

Not the smae sata as the drives. Just in case you know...

My PSU should give enough power to everything, I haven't seen any particular draw, like jumping through the roof.

I try to keep my drivers as updated as possible.

I don't think they are that much outdated.

 

I'll try and update the bios, but if I remeber correctly it should not be that far from up to date.

I did that 2years ago or so.

 

But hey thanks anyway.

 

I also just changed the thermal compound... Just in case the previous one I puted on was trash (back when I changed my fans)

 

I will not continue to post here and bother you with this issue after that.

And If I find the cure, I 'll post it for futur users.

Hi GoleKar,

I have the exact same issue.

I just built my PC and the very first time i started a game (Gears 5), the whole PC rebooted after about 20 minutes of gameplay.
Happens with every high GPU depanding games.

 

The only different this here is that the moment I start a game, a hear a buzzing sound - can't really determine where it's coming from, but I have my bets on the PSU.
I tried swapping the graphics card with a different one and the sound persists - PC still randomly reboots while gaming and performing a stress test.

 

I will be able to try out a different PSU at the end of this week.

 

Were you able to find a solution?

 

Regards

Have you tried to open the Windows log, to see if there is a clue there?
