PC problems

[[TC-R] Luke]

I had this exact same issue with my PC as Howlin will remember. I couldn't find a fix unfortunately, I restored the computer and that postponed the problems for a while but I ended up buying a new motherboard and CPU and that solved the error :/ it was an expensive one, but every diagnostic I did proved no result, the computer just appeared to slowly overload and freeze in the way you described.

Is your computer over clocked at all? Because my conclusion was that my CPU was dying as I believe that noise that you here when it freezes is an overload error on the CPU, so if you do not have a sound card especially, it just locks up. If it is over clocked, try and turn it down a little and hopefully it might fix its self overtime. For me the freezing started accelerating and became more and more frequent :/

I also noticed that it would only ever freeze if I was on desktop, if I was in a game like BF4 or LFS, it never froze. Have you noticed that?
