Laptop: Screen freezes followed by a buzzing sound during gameplay
Hey guys. I've been having this problem on and off and with various games now. At some point during playing a game, my laptop will freeze and make a buzzing sound through the speakers/headphones. I have a Dell XPS L501x laptop with Windows 7 64bit on it. I have an Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU with 6GB of RAM. My video card is a Nvidia GeForce GT 540M.
I've contacted Dell about this and they replaced my motherboard 3 times and the problem persisted. However, the replacements were about a year ago when this problem occurred while playing League of Legends. After Dell not really being able to help and their flawed and pointless circle logic became more of a nuisance than the buzzing problem, I decided to just endure the issues. The buzzing sound and the freezing did stop happening however after a few more times of encountering the problem. I didn't change anything or update anything to my knowledge. It just stopped happening. However, recently while playing Skyrim, I've been facing the same issues! The screen will freeze and a buzzing sound will play through my headphones. If I disconnect the headphones while it's buzzing, the sound doesn't come through the speakers though. Dell Support wasn't fully able to get rid of the problem, but maybe you guys can help me find the root of it. Let me know what other information you need and thank you all in advance! |

All of the bugchecks are the same and are very old, throughout 2012.
But still referring to a driver still present on the machine. Code:

Here's the idle and GPU for now. I'll do the CPU one tomorrow because it'll take more time. Also, do you want me to run both the CPU and GPU stress tests at the same time?

Here's the CPU test after like 15 minutes. And I will clean everything out tomorrow and get back to you then! Thank you very much!

Well, it crashed again... kind of. I updated my drivers to the newest nvidia beta drivers and I had the same freeze and buzzing sound occur, but after like 10 seconds it exited the game (Skyrim), and it showed an error in the notification area with an error. I can't remember what the error said though. Either way, I rolled my drivers back to the newest official/stable drivers.
EDIT: Here's the errors. It'll buzz and freeze but eventually stop and either allow me to keep playing, or it'll close the program. I haven't had to force shut down since I cleaned. |

Froze and buzzed again. This time I had to force shut down.
Here's another one of these if you want it. |

Thank for the update
![]() No new dumps were created but that is inline with the fact that no bugchecks occurred. How did the cleaning process go? Post a new set of screenshots using Speccy as detailed above ( #4 ) . |

Cleaning went well I think. It takes a bit longer now for the GPU to heat up and it's not quite getting to the same temps.

Computer randomly freezes with buzzing sound. I was told to repost the thread here since the problem doesn't actually have to do with audio, even though I do not get any actual BSODs. Thanks ahead of time for any help. |

Computer randomly freezes with buzzing sound. I don't know if this actually belongs here, so forgive me. Since the past couple of months, my computer freezes at completely random times.
