This has happened many times, on a variety of games: Screen will freeze (hang), and audio will be stuck in a short loop. Could this be the RAM not receiving enough voltage?

Could be anything, from a weak PSU, to overheating CPU, GPU or (V)RAM. Make sure the heatsinks are clean and try running Memtest86, Memtest86+ or similar memory testing tools.

Yes I've already tried memtest86+. I didn't get any errors as such, but it did hang the first time (after 3 passes). So I did it again, and after many passes there wasnt any error.

It's not a problem of the graphics card - it was fine in the last PC. The power supply is brand new and should be providing plenty of power (OCZ 600w).

And nothing is overheating. I've been monitoring the temperatures of all the hardware.

This keeps happening to me, I will try memtest to see if it works. I will also check if I am overheating.
