Strange Issue With Cpu

I am having, as the title implies, a strange issue with my i3 3220. I am using the stock cooler and the integrated graphics until I can buy a good GPU. My CPU was at 60'C (120'F) idle in the bios. 

 

I have been having random freezes where the screen stops at a certain frame and a loud buzzing is emmited from my heaphones which are plugged directly into onboard audio. I originally thought the GPU was the source of the problem and switch to onboard graphics but the freezes continued (they are infrequent, maybe once every 24-48 hours but force be to reset the pc and as such are rather annoying). I ran prime95 opn the system but it did not report any issues nor did the system freeze up. On a possibly related note, when I boot my pc, the CPU fan starts about 5 seconds after everything else at full speed and slows to normal speeds over the next 15 seconds. I do not think this is normal behaviour as all the other modern CPU's I have worked with have all started at a normal speed. I would be happy for any input on this matter.

All my fans that are connected into my mobo do the same thing on startup.They are at full speed for maybe 5 seconds and then slow down..Stock cooler is bad on a 3rd gen intel.What psu do you have?

Im guessing that the stock cooler is bad, get an aftermarket one!

I'd reccomend the CM hyper 212 EVO its a very cheap aftermarket cooler and its very good! its keeping my Fx-6100 pretty cool.
