Hey! :)

Yesterday i bought a new GPU (Gigabyte GTX 660 Windforce 2GB OC) and plugged it in my computer, everything was running fine and i played Splinter Cell Blacklist on ultra with no problems. But today its freezing sometimes, but only for like a half second. The wierd thing is that my computer makes a sound aswell, not any annoying or high sound but just a little sound (Sounds like hardrive but idk) and i don't know what to do. My psu is from my old prebuilt computer and its 500W (Acer Predator G3610)
 
You need to confirm where the sound is coming from. If its the HDD then it could be starting to fail and needs to be replaced. Also, any power supply from an OEM computer will not be good enough to run your 660. Probably should replace it with corsair cx600.

Please try and post the exact model of your PSU by looking at the label on the side of it, but yeah, 99% sure it needs replacing.
