Hi! I was trying to figure out a problem with my desktop lately, and I figured this place was as good as any to ask around.
My problem is that my computer starts buzzing or whining around the CPU when I start up Counter Strike GO or any other 'demanding' game. A few moments later my screen blacks out. My computer is still 'on' [the fans are running, but my mobo's CPU FAIL LED is on] and the only way to turn it off is to shut off the PSU completely.
If I run the AIDA64 stress test, my computer is fine and there's no whining. But the moment I get into a game, it's starts to buzz and will crash.
I've tried memtesting the memory [I bought a second pair just to check if it was the RAM, and it isn't.] I've tried all combinations of RAM slots just to check the slots, that didn't work either. I've moved my GPU around to different slots, tried unplugging a ton of stuff and even plugged my computer to a different outlet. I've tried updating to the latest bios and drivers as well as underclocking the computer. Even cleaned it with an airblast can.
Nothing works.
My temperatures are really, really low. I have like 5 fans in my machine. GPU ~ 50-60 degrees when playing demanding games, and my CPU never goes above ~22 degress.
Any ideas?
If it helps, I'll post a video recording me trying to crash the computer.
