Hello,
I would appreciate if someone could help me out with a very strange problem I came across just recently. It all started a few days ago when the video card, I'm fairly sure it's the video card, started making a buzzing, sort of an electric, sound when a game was launched. I assumed it was coil whine, as it would stop when minimized, etc. So today I was playing Alien: Isolation. It was running on Ultra perfectly without a hitch until at one point the game started freezing. It would freeze for a second and keep going, except it kept getting more frequent until it froze entirely. The sound kept going though. I had to eventually restart the PC. I did get a strange "no signal" from the monitor whilst the game was still frozen and I tried to ctl+alt+del it to no avail before I had to restart it.
I thought maybe it was a glitch with the game, as it sometimes happens. However, once I booted it back up the game had started to randomly stutter as I tried to turn around or just move the camera. It didn't all the time, but it was noticeable. Especially because It was running butter smooth before. It didn't freeze any more though. I also tested out Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and, strangely, the game takes at least 3 times as long to load as it used to. I tried the benchmark and the average frames were 71, but the stuttering problem is in the actual game, just the same as it was in Alien: Isolation. It was running perfectly smoothly before today. I noticed that some textures take a while to load, blurry even as I walk right onto them. A whole orc hold was a big, blurry mess for a while.
I don't know if it's related but I've noticed some random page freezing on youtube as well, similarly to the freeze in Alien the sound remained going without a hitch.
The computer I bought was this one: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers-for-next-day-delivery/142/ just two weeks ago. I hope you can help me out as I can't send the PC back for troubleshooting. It's simply impossible for me at the moment.
Thank you for your time!
