PC crash with buzzing sound

yh keep going,maybe around the 1.15v mark,think im using around that with 16gb cant tell you without popping in the bios
 
now up to 1.16 and 1.58 for ram voltage.

Its getting to the point where i might just end up buying new mobo/processor/psu and hdd cos i have had enough of this crap now XD
 
Is the graphics card overclocked (including factory OCed)?

if it is, try underclocking it back to standard and see if it still crashes. I've had a couple of factory OCed card that were not stable before and had similar crashes to yours.
 
using a wireless -- Gigabyte WPKG pci WLAN card

the graphics card is straight from the box (i dont touch the overclocks) Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 970 G1 GAMING WindForce 3x OC 4096MB Graphics

my gtx 580 (which i changed recently to the 970) was from either there or overclockers, before it but the 970 is gonna be much more powerful still stock clocked than the 580 overclocked so cant see it making a difference resetting the clocks for the 970?
 
I'll have to look to see how much vtt I'm using,its on other PC

I can only think of it as being IMC/vtt voltage related,best to keep raising and testing, then move onto other things if it don't cure it

Just a thought, are you able to plug an Ethernet cable in and then try to replicate the crash?

I've recently had a similar issue to what you've described and it turned out to be a bad network card/driver (albeit a different card to the one you're using).
 
@Wazza kk ill keep raising for now if it still happens.

@Ravo only problem with that is modem is downstairs and im upstairs, we got the cable to do it, just have to do it when no one is around unless i want someone to trip down the stairs over the cable XD
"
Edit: thinking about it now i cant remember doing network driver unless windows installed it automatically because in device manager i have 2 in network adapters "Gigabyte WPKG PCI WLAN Card #2" and "Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)"
and the drivers for them are 2006 (gigabyte) and 2013 (qualcomm) so maybe i can get a spare network card and test it.

Yeah you could try that too. I had a tplink network card which was causing freezes and sound hanging when I was either dowloading and trying to watch a movie, or playing a game with an internet connection. As soon as I wired it up to the computer the problem completely disappeared!

I've just ordered an Asus network card from OcUk so hopefully that'll solve my issue
 
Not the network card, just changed it to a edimax 802.11n pci card and crashed.
So its either psu, harddrive (althought seagate found no problems), mobo, cpu or voltages but i feel this wont help anymore XD
 
For a start I would turn off (turbo boost) overclock the cpu and then change your ram speed to default and test your system. XMP profile is already an overclocked profile for the ram. (even if it is able to run at that speed) don't?

Then go up in steps from 1600, 1867, 2133, 2400..............2133 is an optimum speed, not much more speed from 2400

you can turn on turbo boost after system is stable

As a matter of fact, Intel emphasizes the fact that it's extremely easy to reach high memory clock rates. And you can keep your system stable by changing two voltages only. These are VDDQ, which is applied directly to the modules, and VCCSA, which powers the system agent and memory controller. It is not recommended to increase the former above (VDDQ) 1.65 volts to safeguard the CPU against damage or degradation. The latter voltage is 0.925 volts by default and you can increase it a little to make your system more stable at high DDR3 clock rates.

cheers for the help guys
atm ive boosted voltage again but if it crashes again im probably gonna cmos it, see if that makes any difference then try boosting stuff back up

I had this same problem with a TP link card too. It took me a while to figure out the crashes only occurred when I was using WIFI.

On another note, I had random crashes on my old socket 775 rig when using default voltages for my ram (DDR2 - 1.8v) I think I had to increase it to either 1.85 or 1.9v.
 
Problem hasnt occured since i last posted, so im hoping all is good, probably cursed myself now however as ive been busy with a new job im struggling to remember what i did last.

im pretty sure it was some driver update i did last. Using drivermax (only got it just to see what drivers needed updating) and i did a couple of "high definition audio" updates, network card update (only because i stole my dads network card i had no driver for it) and generic usb hub update

However out of this im thinking it was the audio update that worked when i installed and restarted i had no sound, so i got windows to reinstall that driver and the sound started working but since then whenever i turn my speedlink speakers on it turns monitor off for couple seconds before coming back on
(ofc i turn speakers off and back on now and it doesnt do it) so meh lols XD

thank you all for the help, im sure after i post this it'll crash again XD
