While playing games, the computer freezes and makes odd sounds

I'll be playing games, and the computer will freeze up, the screen goes black and then the computer starts making this strange sound, almost like a siren. To fix the problem for some random amount of time, you have to pull the power out, wait a few minutes and then turn it back on. It doesn't happen periodically though, sometimes it's once a day, other times it's 3-4 times an hour. What is wrong?

Re: While playing games, the computer freezes and makes odd sounds

Hi, welcome to TSF.

Sounds like your computer is overheating.

Get rid of static electricity by touching a radiator or bare metal on the computer case.
Then unplug the computer from the wall outlet and open the case.

Remove all dust inside - make sure the fans and heatsinks get clean.
