Buzzing/System freeze when downloading
Hi all
Been a lurker for a while and need some help.
I work in tech support and can normally isolate an issue pretty fast but I am seriously stuck with this one.
Just to clear up, I am getting no BSOD.
As soon as I start downloading, whether that be from utorrent or chrome, my computer does intermittent freezes where the sound loops and makes a buzzing sound.
I have the main OS on mt Vertex 4 SSD while all my games/programs & the downloaded files location goes onto my 1TB WD Caviar Black.
It happens more often when I'm playing a game, but I believe it's when the HDD is being read from rapidly.
I've uploaded a video of it here:
That buzzing sound comes out of the speakers, the whole system freezes when it happens.
I can only replicate this when downloading something.
What I've done so far;
Replaced the CPU cooler & Motherboard.
Installed the OS onto another drive.
Wiped the SSD and re-installed windows.
Disabled antivirus.
Replaced the RAM
Tested a different power supply.
Only ideas I have at this stage is something to do with the 1TB HDD.
Any suggestions?
Thanks :)
