In my PC, when i play a game like Gta or Assassins Creed Black Flag, even games like CS:GO, my PC makes a buzzing sound when i play the game. When i go into the games menu, it stops but as soon as i start to play the game, it comes back. Any help on this would help me a lot.

Sounds like you have coil whine

Most likely your gpu, take your side panel of and listen. It could also be your motherboard or powersupply.

Nothing you can really do to get rid of the noise other than replacing the part.

It's not the PSU, it was making that sound before i got my new one, my old one was some crappy 450w one and my new one is an EVGA 850w G2 Gold. I'll have a listen out and i will return. : )

Just went onto CS:GO and i can confirm that it's the graphics card making the noise.

You have coil whine, Nothing you can do sorry.

Time to upgrade

Coil whine does not affect the performance of the card in anyway. Its a problem alot of cards get, I had it on my r9 290 :/
