PC crashes when playing certain games

[4113k]

I have a prebuilt PC (HP Omen 30L, specs written in the bottom of the post), and it has worked very well since I bought around 2-3 months ago.

All of a sudden, something inside the PC itself started making a weird noise and I was assuming it was coil-whining in the GPU at first (it sounds like it comes from the GPU, but I'm not 100% sure), and it starts sounding as soon as I launch any game.

It became a problem now that the PC crashes. I can play League, Back 4 Blood, etc, but when I play Rainbow Six Extraction the PC crashes after I've been in game for about 3 minutes.

I've played R6 Extraction a lot for the past 2 weeks, but it didn't crash or make any kind of noise until yesterday. The first crash came in the same instance as the noise occurred.

The temps are fine. CPU under 80c when in game and same with GPU.

When the PC crashes, I get black screen and the fans go CRAZY like the CPU was overheating - but it's not. Then I have to hold the power button to force quit, then start it back up and everything with the PC is the same.

Specs: RTX 3080, Ryzen 7 5800x, DDR4 32GB, 750W PSU

@4113k,

Welcome to our HP User-to-User Forum!

Just spit balling here, but you could start troubleshooting -if you haven't already done so, by running MEMTEST86 (https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm) to verify that your RAM modules are A-OK and not defective. At least 2 passes with ZERO ERRORS.  Then run AMD's equivalent of Intel's "Processor Diagnostic Tool" -not exactly sure what that would be, perhaps "AMD System Monitor" found here: AMD System Monitor | AMD or run Cinebench found here: Cinebench R23.2 Download | TechSpot.

Let's get started!

Kind Regards,
