PC Freezes and makes Buzzing Noise when Running Games

well first thing which would be the simple way to go is to completely uninstall those 2 games using revo uninstaller which will not only uninstall the games; but also uninstall the windows registry entries windows puts in when something is installed. What that hopefully will do is sort of create a fresh clean slate on which to reinstall those games. here is the link to revo uninstaller:

Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems

download, install, and run it and select the 2 games; let it uninstall them; then reboot; then try reinstalling the games again. IF that does not do anything; the next thing i would do is take a look at how much ram your system has. Your system ideally should have at the very least 8gb ram to run games but i would reccomend 12gb as the more ram there is the better the system performance will be. if no results still; post back and we can go from there.

Hi Dafian, welcome to 7F! :)

I took a look at your .dbg report and you have one of the more difficult errors (124) to solve.

First follow matts advice, but just uninstall the one game that doesn't make your machine "buzzz" as much, we may need the one that does for a stress test.

Then take a look at your video card, its got a fan on it, right? That may be what's buzzing.

Start with the video tests here: Hardware Diagnostics and with the report mentioning the processor, that has a heat sink fan, right? Check around the mounts to make sure nothings loose.

Playing these games causes a lot of stress, and demand on the machine and sometimes it'll buzz back at you to let you know you're doing something it doesn't like. Could be the games are producing so much heat that the fans are stressin' out to a point where their over revin'.

It's getting late here for me, I'll read the rest of the BSOD report tomorrow morning and get back to you 'bout 3pm your time.

Reinstalled the game, deleted the stuff. Doing the diagnostics now (Video stress test)

Forgot to mention, the processor does not have a sink fan.
I have a liquid cooler, Corsair H55 Hydro Series CPU
http://www.corsair.com/zh-cn/hydro-s...iet-cpu-cooler
Had some issues installing it but managed. Though the freezing problem was before I got this cooler.
Got the liquid cooler 2 months ago.

Stop OCing until you get this figured out.

Forgot to mention, the processor does not have a sink fan.

Make sure you're following the procedures to mount the water cooler. I'm unfamiliar with them, do the instructions say you have to remove the sink fan to mount it?

But let's say if it is a overheating issue. Why will it "overheat" / "freeze" when I run a game that is on 2 - 4 GB and the game isn't demanding? While the other game is 28GB with the newest textues etc etc and the game is demanding.

I just think it's strange, I got more demanding games on the computer but they are working fine.

This is probably due to poorly written programs/drivers.


In going over your reports I found several items.

I found this in your Hosts file:
255.255.255.255 bolscripts.net
255.255.255.255 Products | BoL Scripts
Usually the Hosts file is empty, were you trying to override the search process and go to bolscripts faster? If you don't need them, delete them.

This pix is from your System Information error reporting, the first eleven days of November are down to the two Napoleons, down from there covers the last two weeks of October:

The entries in yellow cover winamp, and spotify, check to make sure they're up to date, the one about plug-in container is Firefox. you have 33.0.2 the newest stable is 33.1 update it, and the Firefox error is complaining that you have hardware acceleration turned on, turn it off, see chosen solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025262
If you're using a separate graphics card make sure you have the on-board one (Intel?) turned off.

The one in red jsdrv.exe is ShopperPro\JSDriver. You should try to remove that: SystemLookup - Global Search The X means; X = Malware, spyware, adware, or other potentially unwanted items

Start with this, download and run: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ Delete anything it finds.

I meant to mention this yesterday, but I find it incredulous that you don't have an antivrius program listed in your System Specs, as a gamer you should have the strongest antivirus out there.

You go through all the trouble to custom build a high end machine and you leave the front door wide open.

There's a lot there, take your time and be thorough.

That jsdrv.exe can overload a machine by itself, when you run the AdwCleaner:

• Make sure everything is closed.

• Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.

• Click on Scan button.

• When the scan has finished click on Clean button.

• Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.

• You can post that txt file if you like.

You should still run Mbam, and or SAS to make sure.

You should reconsider forgetting to run antivirus programs. I use MSE, but some like Avast or Avira, all free.

You're welcome, it takes experience, after a while you get to know what to look for and what stands out. There are other members here that could probably find more than me.
