So, I have a Lenovo ideapad 320-15ABR running Windows 10 (version 1803, OS build 17134.165) and it has only been running for a few short months. When playing local video files or streaming video from youtube, I experience short freezes that resolve themselves intermittently during playback. However, these short freezes eventually become a hard freeze, which locks my system up and requires a hard reset to perform again. During the freeze the audio is stuck and plays an electronic buzz until reset. I have updated every driver, performed a chkdsk and sfc /scannow without success in resolving the issue. Here are my systems specs
AMD A12-9720P
RADEON R7
12 COMPUTE CORES 4C+8G 2.7 GHZ
8GB RAM
64 bit OS
I've been troubleshooting according to questions like these that I have found during Google queries, but without any success decided to ask myself. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
