Here is how this happened - this should NEVER happen!!
1) Using Windows 10 OS, hi-end ASUS Intel socket 1155 motherboard, 32 GB RAM, Intel Core i7 CPU, AMD Radeon R9 290 video card with 4 GB videoRAM.
AMD Radeon drivers are latest AMD ReLive 17.x. Audio is motherboard built-in.
(HDMI audio not used.)
2) I enabled (turned on) Folding@Home, which loads the GPU and/or CPU - I think I had CPU folding enabled when this happened, sometimes I turn that off and fold only on GPU.
3) Then I ran WinAMP and started playing some music. All fine until this point.
4) Then I ran GPU-Z - PC display (2 monitors, both 27" FullHD, one uses DVI, one HDMI) went completely frozen, i.e. the screen with running programs and GPU-Z startup/splash screen showed, but the mouse pointer disappeared, and nothing changed on the screen - GPU-Z splash screen never went away.
However, music kept playing for 20-30 seconds more.
5) Then after that, soundcard (i.e. speakers) started making VROOM noises, then my PC completely froze, with a constant hum sound coming from the speakers.
I had to reset the PC via Reset button, which caused me much grief & suffering.
Expected: NO freezing, ever. Any ideas?
Even if I run 2, 3 or even 4-5 heavy programs, I do not expect GPU-Z to ever freeze the screen or whole PC this way.

Here are CPU-Z and MSInfo32 logs from the PC in question:
