I'm running win10 Pro on a recently bought refurbished HP Elitedesk 800 G1, which was designed for win7 but has a new SDD and a 1T HDD, sold by an Amazon refurbisher. It had one scuff and otherwise looks like new, inside and out. It's not overclocked yet.
It runs great compared to what I had, but has crashed about 7 times in 3 months, which the previous computers didn't do, and has damaged some data in the process. I forget how to find the crash data.
Every time it crashes I'm playing webradio, but that might not mean much since I always am. Usually I'm running RadioMaximus, but the last time I was just playing the sound from a webpage using Firefox. Radiomaximus hadn't been started since windows was booted.
However before if fully crashes, it freezes and the sound is either playing a continuous low pitch tone, maybe 100mhz, or it's playing 2 syllables over and over and over, whawhawhawhawha... for up to 15 minutes until I stopped it.
Does this sound problem indicate the computer problem is in the sound circuit, and could be fixed by installing a sound card to use in place of the mobo circuit. I don't assume it's that closely related, but someone told me it was. I thought the problem could still be anywhere.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
