    hi lads, hope you can help me with this problem that's driving me insane

    when playing games I get a random hard freeze with looping audio and have to hold the power button to restart

    I have changed GPU as I thought it was that, but alas no

    ran furmark for 45 mins and prime 95 for three hours temps are all fine with no freeze also ran memcheck with no errors, removed gentle over cock on CPU and freeze is still occuring

    gpu is r9 290 / i7 920 / 8 gigs ram / psu enermax Galaxy 850w (have it 8 years) / win 8.1

    any ideas?

    fixed it,

    it was the fecking on board sound card, disabled the Realtek on-board and installed an old one I had lying around

    played two hours of ARMA 3 and no lockups :)
