It could be overloading, it could be overheating. It might be a BSOD from the buzzing noise you hear (as when a PC crashes, the audio will freezes on the last note of audio it plays) Please provide more description. Run programs to see temperatures of the system. Also, make sure you have "Automatically restart on crash" DISABLED in Windows as this prevents any possible blue screens from popping up.

Your hardware specs would be pretty useful but I'd say its either a GPU problem or a faulty motherboard.

But really it could be anything. Also test your RAM with something like memtest and try your components in a different system our your system with known to work hardware.

One thing that could also be likely the problem is the PSU, go to the bios and check if your voltages are fine. They should not be fluctuating rapidly more then 0.05V and they shouldn't be too far off from 3.3V, 5V and 12V.

Apart from the things I've already mentioned, do you have an entry in the event viewer if you experience the problem?

-> Windows-Key + X -> Event Viewer -> Custom Views -> Administrative Events

 

Or look at:

Start menu -> search for "View reliability history" -> look if there is a "Critical Event" that points to the problem
