Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Memory = 4.1 GB
My PC has been freezing consistently when I am playing any game (usually within a couple of minutes of playing) and has also frozen while just watching Twitch or in a game's menu.
It is working and then all of a sudden freezes what is on the screen and plays a looping sound. The freeze never ends; I have to hold the power button down on my PC to shut it off. When I turn it back on, my monitor never even makes a connection to the PC, I have to wait until I am back to my desktop (I know when based off the Windows sound that plays) and turn off my computer via keyboard commands. Finally, after shutting it down this way and turning it back on, my monitor connects and I am back to normal, but I am still unable to play games because I freeze every time.
My video card drivers are all up to date. I haven't changed any hardware other than my keyboard in the last few months, so this is fairly out of the blue.
If anyone has any ideas, please post. My hunch is the graphics card, but that is by far my most up to date part.

sounds exactly like what i went through twice (last year and just last week); your video card is prob busted. i had an msi 760 and i've had to get it rma'd twice because of this shit.

Try reseating the GPU and reinstalling the graphics drivers. If that doesn't work, it's time to RMA.

I had similar issues but without the video input issues.
Although my problems were related to a faulty ssd.
Might want to look into issues on both your gpu and hard drive.
It's where I would start looking.
I know this didn't help much but try going to the the place you bought your gpu at and see if they can find any issues with it. Good luck!

Have you tried using just the graphics on the CPU? If the issue doesn't occur with the on board graphics then it might be GPU.

Use CrystalDiskInfo to detect possible problems (bad sectors for example), it's a pretty small and user friendly program, if it says your storage drive is in good condition, then you don't need to worry about that, otherwise at risk will tell you there's something wrong with it, and below you find the source of your problem.
