freezes on Win 8.1 without any errors ( amd cpu and cpu)

Solution:
Installing the latest chipset drivers from the link below seems to have solved the issue!
Desktop


Original post:

So over the past week my PC is randomly freezing up. The sound keeps looping and nothing works so I have to do a hard reset. I installed a fresh Windows two days ago hoping it would go away but it did not help. Here is what I have done so far:
-I checked the integrity of my ram, no errors.
-I ran Uniengine Heaven benchmark for 15 minutes while monitoring the temperature for my VGA and CPU. Nothing out of the ordinary (CPU hovers around 65, VGA, a R280X, around 65-70).

I get the freeze at random during games, and few times while I was watching a movie and only during fast forwarding as far as I can tell. I have attached the debug file as instructed.
Please help! it is so annoying that I am thinking of selling my PC and be done with it :(

By the way, I just looked at my event viewer:

This cant be normal can it?!

Wait for a crash to happen (BSOD). It will happen if there is a faulty driver on the system. You can also scan your HDD for errors with HD Tune, and post SS of Health Tab.

What happens next time my pc freezes? Will it give a report or something I need to upload?I have to mention, my pc is having some weird issues lately, the auto update for windows keeps getting turned off, and when I run the windows update diagnosis tool I always get this:



As you can see the error changes every time!!


Finally ever since I re-installed my Win 8.1, it keeps turning on after being put to sleep.

I seems to have solved it! Out of desperation I installed amd chipset driver from here:
Desktop
it was marked as optional but ever since I installed it I have had no more freezes ( knock on wood). I left the pc running in games for about 8 hours straight without any lock ups. I have update the first post and hopefully this will help others.
