Hello.
I recently built myself a new gaming PC (I will include the specs below), and during playing a game of Smite my system completely froze, I had to turn the PC off by the power button. I am using the said system now with no problems, but I have multiple errors in Windows Event Viewer which I believe may have caused the problem.
First I will mention a few other little errors I have had recently just in case they are part of the problem.
A few days ago when simply watching a video on Facebook I had a display driver error saying something like "display driver has stopped working and recovered" - I haven't had an issue like that since then, but thought i'd mention it in case that is part of the problem.
Earlier today I turned my main monitor off and went AFK for 30 minutes or so, and when I came back I noticed my second monitor's desktop icons had moved onto my main one, and Steam was reduced in size as if it thought my main monitor was 1080p. (My main monitor is 1440p, 144hz, G sync, second one is 1080p 60 hz) and my frame rate was stuck at <20 in games, I had to restart my PC to solve the problem. A similar thing happened a few days ago, not sure why. Could it be because I turned my main monitor off left my second one on?
The errors I have in event viewer are below, after each error is an information entry I thought I would include in case it is important:

EDIT: System just completely froze again during a game of Smite, but this time made an extremely loud buzzing noise down my headset, had to take them off and force reboot again...Checking Event Viewer now.
