First of all STOP YELLING!!!

Have you done a full virus/spyware/adware sweep?

Its either one of the above bugs or a heat issue, but typically heat will reset the machine, not lock it.

Secondly....READ THE RULES ABOUT STARTING THREADS TITLED "HELP ME"!


Freezing in your case, sounds very similar to a bad driver issue. Beeps are typically heard if:

1. hardware is failing
2. graphics card supports onboard sound diagnostics (graphic card will have a buzzer)
3. memory/graphics card came loose and needs to be reseated
4. weak power supply

or as DoubleDwn suggested....overheating.

oh,sorry about my writing,I should have read the rules.thanks for reply.
as DoubleDwn advised I did full scan but it froze in middle of scan.and I tried HDD check as well but again computer froze.also I checked if its gotten hot but not.is there any possibility that playing games can cause this?I have been playing GTA san andreas for 2-3 months.
