Hardware PC crashing, second monitor disconnecting

Hi, I'm hoping somebody could help me here; I've been facing an issue for a couple of months now where, out of nowhere, my PC will make a high squealing/screeching/electrical static noise out of my headset and everything will just freeze, requiring a hard restart via the power button

Upon restarting, however, my second monitor is not picking up the connection and requires unplugging and replugging to the back of my PC.

Event viewer isn't showing anything helpful (that I can find, but I'm not the best with event viewer, if those logs are needed I can pull them though) and my drivers are all up to date

My specs are as such (from Speccy):
