    Hello,
    so i have a really weird problem i havent found anything about this or how to fix it.

    My PC just crashes randomly when im not playing a game (watching youtube, Amazon Prime etc....), or it freezes with weird pixels on my screen which forces me to restart the PC.

    Also when i go to the desktop something in my PC makes a weird noise (maybe GPU or SSD)

    Hopefully someone can help me with this.

    i don't see an SSD making any noises, its more likely your graphics card. especially if you are seeing pixels.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Maybe i can get a spare graphics card somewhere to make sure its the graphics card.

    How old is your power supply?

    What are the pc's specs?

    Thats probably the best thing to do checking the gpu first. Seeing pixels or artifacts on the screen points that way.

    Probably you can find some related info in Event Viewer and in BlueScreenView...

    CPU: Ryzen 7 3800x

    When using too much Negative Curve Optimize this may happens...
    To avoid it crashing in idle, set the Minimun Processor State to not less than 10%

    Make sure the motherboard BIOS is updated and the AMD chipset drivers.

    Have you looked in event viewer to check if any errors have appeared there? under "System" subsection.
