sounds like a temp problem to me. Go into ur BIOS to check ur cpu temp. usually the most reliable source. post it on here. also post ur specs

how do i go to my BIOS?

 

[Baez]

restart ur computer and keep pressing Delete as soon as it starts up again until it brings u too the setup screen (says Award or AMI BIOS at the top). then go to hardware monitor or something along those lines

you would not want to mute that warning sound. it should be warning you that the temps are too high in your computer.

what can i do to cool my computer? Ive pulled off the sides and front regularly and wiped off dust.

First you will want to make sure that all of your fans are running.

Also make sure that there is adequate airflow around the case.

An alarm is a notification of overheating, and unless you do something, you may cause your computer to get all nice and toasty aka fried.

how do i check the fans are running. Just that air is coming out of them? also how many should there usually be 4?

 

[Dexaroni]

Just look at the fans and see if they are spinning. If they aren't... they probably aren't running.

But again, check the bios and tell us what kind of temps your processor is reaching.

how do i get out of it once ive got into it? like im worried ill get stuck in BIOS and not be able to use my computer normally. do i just press ctrl alt delete to restart it again?
