Windows freezing causing huge problem

[adithyay328]

Hello there! So, I've been having a problem with my PC for a couple weeks. It started a couple weeks ago, with the symptoms being the entire system freezing with no way of re-gaining control of the computer without a reboot. For the first couple seconds of the freeze, whatever frame was on the monitor froze, and the audio currently playing sounded corrupted, repeating the same tone over and over, kind of like an extremely fast ticking alarm, or how a person repeats the same motion a lot during a seizure. In fact, one could describe it kind of like the computer having a seizure. After that, the PC just sat there, completely unresponsive. Over time though, it got worse and worse, up till about 3 days ago, when I tried to avoid using my PC, not being able to do anything with it for a couple days. Then, yesterday, I caved in, and tried out overwatch. Within about 2 minutes, the entire system was seized by the freeze. Anybody got any ideas for troubleshooting?

Try taking out your mobo to see if everything's grounded correctly with the stand-offs and try another PSU.

I doubt that would be the problem since I've been able to boot up w/o problems.
