I checked it with CrystalDiskInfo and it looked fine, though. I'll try to get my hands on a new HDD.

PC freezes and reboots itself constantly
My PC has been crashing a ton lately. A lot more since I've installed the Anniverasry Update for Windows 10. It crashes differently every time-- Sometimes it freezes and reboots itself silently, sometimes it freezes to a loud buzzing noise until I manually restart the computer, sometimes it has a loud buzzing noise for a second and reboots itself, sometimes it gives me a buzzing noise and gives me a BSOD with the error message "WHEA_UNCONTROLLABLE_ERROR" and sometimes it gives me a loud buzzing noise and black screens until I manually restart the computer. It's awful. Sometimes, when I turn it back on, it says "Please insert proper boot device", and then I have to fiddle with my HDD's cables or else it won't boot and keeps giving me said error message. Please help. Again, I am on Windows 10. I've checked my HDD with CrystalDiskInfo and it says that my HDD is fine. I bought my PC from iBuyPower, it was a prebuilt.

The "loud Buzzing Noise" could come from any fan in the machine. It's possible that it's the CPU fan malfunctioning and thereby causing the machine to overheat. There's several free H/W monitors out there that allow you to monitor the fans and core temps. Even though I can't for the life of me think of a name of any right now. You can google it though. Try one of those to see if it'll show any issues.
The buzzing noise is the sound coming from my speakers. It's the sound that was playing before the computer crashed repeating itself really quickly.The "loud Buzzing Noise" could come from any fan in the machine.

Could it be a problem with the PSU? I heard iBuyPower uses cheap PSUs.
It's certainly a possibility. But I'd still check voltage and temperatures before I purchase a new PSU.
Update: I've figured out that it's resetting due to a system failure. All programs stop responding (I reffered to this as freezing) and then it resets itself. Also, task manager always has disk usage creeping around 100%.
It would really help if you posted ALL of your exact system specs; ie exact motherboard, exact cpu, exact ram, etc, etc. Do not post "16gig of ram" post the exact brand and model# Do that for all of your parts. If this is a big box system, ie dell, hp, whatever, post the exact brand and model# If you have a service tag# post that as well.

You did not read the post completely; you need to post exact specs regarding your ram.
Next since you have an asus board, download and install the asus suite from the support page. Link to the support page;
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/HelpDesk_Download/
Note you do not have to install all of the components; you can just install probe or whatever you want. Once you have probe installed, post the following; cpu temp, system temp, 12V, 5V, and 3.3V values. Do this twice. Once at idle load and once under a full 100% load. Use either prime95 or IBT to load the system [both free downloads] Let the stress test run for at least 5min before posting the data.

BTW I use and recommend asus boards however that particular board is about the most problem prone board asus has released in a LONG time.
You also need to post the exact pw supply you have installed.

I got it prebuilt, I don't know the RAM's exact specs. I'll try to do that, though.
Open the case and look. Just about any ram chip has a sticker with the speed, mfg, required vdimm, etc.I got it prebuilt, I don't know the RAM's exact specs. I'll try to do that, though.
While you have the case open, check the pw supply and post the exact unit installed.
What speed is your ram rated for? 772 Mhz is a oddball speed, usually 667=dual channel 1333,800=dual channel 1600. 772=1544? Your motherboard and processor can run 1866mhz memory. Are you using Auto Tuning and TurboV functions?
I saw that as well however it might just be an incorrect reading. I doubt the cpu is really at 15C as it shows. If he posts back with the info from asus probe, we can get more correct info.
I'm sorry, I've been busy the last few days. Before I do it, I'd like to note that freeing up some space on my HDD got rid of the restarts. The only problem I have now is that my programs will stop responding, and all I can do is not touch anything and wait until they start responding again, otherwise my PC crashes to a "Please insert proper boot device" message. Sometimes it just crashes to that message out of nowhere. Pushing on the cables behind my HDD seems to let me boot up again, but doesn't fix the crashes.
It just froze completely and I had to restart it manually, something that happens rarely. The MemOK red light in my PC was on.
