    Lately everytime I play any games my computer crashes sometimes giving a looping sound, sometimes giving a beeeeeeeeeeeeee sound, and sometimes it just stops. I asked alot of people what's wrong with it and most of them said that my hardware is overheated or my mostly my soundcards or whatever. I have tried to leave my computer shut down for days but it still does it. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

    or set a air conditioner on it...

    I have 5 fans alone on my computer. (1 side fan, 1 back fan, 1 front fan, a hard drive cooler, and my cpu fan) It never shut down my computer. I suggest you maybe should get a water cooling system. It usually works quite well...

    OR open up your computer and see if your CPU fan is working.

    i had the same problem, i had a 256 mb video card with only 386 mb of ram, which is way short to support the video card. so if u dont have enuff ram, the video card will have to work twice as hard to keep ur computer running, which ends up in ur computer overheating, freezing, crashing etc. i have 2 fans in my computer and an enormous one sitting behind it, but after i got more ram, the problem stopped. so how much ram do u have in ur computer and wut size video card?

    what you should do is run a game with your computer totally open and a powerful house fan aimed directly at it, to find out whether it's cooling related or not.

    you also may want to buy a can of air and blow out all of the dust on your gfx card and heat sinks.

    Too much dust makes it hard for the fans to move how often do you clean your computer out with an air can?
