weird regular computer crash

[Bandizooie]

hello to all who read this, i have a problem and it is really annoying, my computer keeps crashing and any audio gets looped by a split second. hard to explain what it sounds like but it kinda sounds like an error sound playing over and over every split second, (it does this with any audio that is playing.  to fix it i have to hard restart my computer by pressing the button on the case

 

at first i thought it was ram, not having enough when i needed it (because the problem seemed to happen more often when it was taking a bit of a load like video games and allot of tabs in the browser. but i have gotten an upgrade (a needed one) and now ive got 12gigs of ram, so that cant be the issue.

 

im almost %100 sure its the graphics card drivers as sometimes when im playing games or even not playing games it will say somthing along the lines of "windows display driver has stopped working and recovered" and it will do this maybe 2 times before a computer crash. ive also noticed the issue dulled down on a later driver so maybe it just has bad driver support.

 

it may be my hard drive because when i purchased the computer i used an older hard drive to save money, so idk

 

it is very annoying and id really like some help with this.

 

 

my specs.

 

AMD A8-7600 radion r7

12gb ram

64 bit

evga gtx 750ti ftw - gpu

 

 

if you need more info i can tell you just please help me, i cant think of much more to do

Have you over clocked anything?

Have you been running something like HWMonitor or HWinfo to keep track of temperatures?

Have you run a utility like CCleaner to give the Windows registry and folders a good sweep out?

Check Device Manager for any problems? (! Means a bad/missing driver)

Spyware or adware? Run MS Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, or any other non-norton style utility?

Off the top of my head those are my chief suggestions at this time lol.

I promise I'm not trying to be condescending with obvious questions: Is your bios up to date? Are you using amd dual graphics? Have you duplicated this issue with a different card, or in another rig? that's probably the easiest way to eliminate an actual hardware issue. Edit: Uhhh, nvm about the dual graphics... you are using an nVidia card. Facepalm.

none, im not sure about the bios, ill update that.

If that doesn't work, try running MSI Kombustor. It's a stress testing program for GPU overclocking. If your card isn't stable, it might be the card. I would imagine the 750 would have stable drivers by now. Hahaha

What about PSU? What make and model are you running? Driver instability and random crashes are often a symptom of a failing PSU as well.
