I'm having a weird problem with my pc.

 

When im playing games it works fine but sometimes while playing only COD:Black Ops III, it happens to crash to a colored or a grey lined screen. Also with a weird buzzing sound for like a few seconds and the buzzing stops.

This happend only on that game but recently it happend a few times while being only on Youtube or browsing a the web.

 

I tried to do some heavy benchmarking but I couldn't figure the problem, so far I assume it's or my gpu or psu. Maybe you guys can help me out

 

My rig:

FX-6300

Sapphire R9 270

Corsair CX430

ASRcok 970 Pro3 R2.0

Did you do any bios tweaking? Because I had a similar problem while to playing BO3. My cpu was oc-ed and couple of other things were tweaked in the bios. So I reseted bios to default and everything was okay. Went back oc-ed the cpu again and everything was fine.

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately no I did not change settings in the bios. But I'll give it a shot I can reset my bios anyways and wait for the outcome

All my drivers are up-to-date. My pc is also clean since I take care of dust like once a month.

Temps are also good, gpu on load doesn't hit 70c and cpu on load does not even hit 60c

 

I got my rig for about 3 years now

Okay use DDU and do a fresh install of the driver.
