Well this all started a few nights ago, I was playing a game, when off a sudden nothing responded, Mouse wouldn't move, Couldn't alt tab, Screen was completely frozen, numlock light wouldnt change when button was pressed and a loud buzzing sound through my headphones.

Sadly no minidumps, and i cant trigger these crashs myself.

I believe all of my drivers are up to date.

In Reliability monitor the only error i found was for the latest crash
Critical event
Windows Video Hardware Error 2/07/1012

This computer is only 30 days old, I had a bit of a issue with the ram earlier, but it seems fine now, Im not sure what is going on with this current issue. Ill list my specs bellow.


Specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte X79-UD3
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.8GHz
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
Ram: 8gb Kingston HyperX
Audio: (Realtek High Definition Audio)
 
What version of drivers and CCC are you on? What are your temps while idle / and while gaming?
 
CCC Ver: 12.6

Idle Temp: 35c
Gaming temp: 45-50c

Also i just took out a ram stick, Crash happened, Switched to the other ram stick,
Crash also happened.
Ran Memtest and the windows ram test, No errors on either.
 
Check Event Viewer > System to see if you can see any bugcheck exceptions or anything.
 
Critical:
Event 41 Kernel-Power System (This seems to happen when it crashes)

Error:
Event 10 WMI Application
event 6008 Eventlog System


These are the latest errors.
 
That all the detail it gives you in the bottom panel for the kernel-power error?
 
Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" stopped due to the following error: 0xC0000188
EventData
SessionNameCircular Kernel Context Logger
FileNameC:\Windows\system32\WDI\LogFiles\ShutdownCKCL.etl
ErrorCode3221225864
LoggingMode128




Also: My pc was just making a strange screetchy high pitched noise, Like a dentists drill. Any idea what that is?
 
Can you pinpoint where the whine is coming from? Is it coming from your PSU?

Also, what PSU do you have?
 
Extreme power plus 650W Power supply.

The sound has stopped now, so i cant pin point it.
 
Never heard of that brand.. Honestly might be the PSU. I would look into replacing that with a reputable brand (Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, Silverstone). If it is still doing it, I would RMA the GPU if it's still under warranty.

What kind of issues did you have with your RAM?
