So I've had my computer for about 4 years now. However, I upgraded it 6 weeks ago and this problem has occurred around 10 times now. The first two times it happened, I was just playing videogames and it just froze up on me and made a weird constant buzz noise till I forced it to shut down. The third time I was playing video games but I loaded up a video on my other monitor and halfway through the video it froze up and made the same buzz noise.
However, one time I was on skype when this occured and heard my friends talk in extreme slow motion (they sounded like a robot I should add) and they could not hear me.
This problem did not occur prior to reinstalling windows, and upgrading a new motherboard and processor.
Now, I have run my core temp and the processor is not at all defective, they all stay around 40 degrees Celsius. However, my graphics card can go up to about 90 C (194 F) but usually is around 80 C (176 F) when gaming. I know these are high temperatures and I feel as if the problem lies within my graphics card but to be honest, I really don't know.

My computer specs:

Cpu: i5 4440 (recently upgraded)
Mobo: Asus Z87-A (Recently upgraded)
OS: Windows 7 64bit (reinstalled because of Mobo)
Video: GTX 560 Ti 1gb
Ram: 6gb ddr3

Thanks so much guys!

Download Speedfan and install it. Once it's installed, run the program and post here the information it shows. The information I want you to post is the stuff that is circled in the example picture I have attached.
If you are running on a vista machine, please go to where you installed the program and run the program as administrator.
