Computer issues. Help requested.
Last few days, my PC has restarted itself a few times. No reason given, and not even while having heavy applications.
And this morning it happened again, but this time, when it restarted, the internal speaker is making a beeping sound once every second.
The power supply is a bit hot, but it doesnt make that overheating warning signal, just a steady beep.
Any suggestions?

Repeating Short Beep No Power, Loose Card, or Short.

Maby core is overheating?

Agree with warsaw, does sound like overheating - check all fans are still working

Re: Computer issues. Help requested.
I have cleaned it up inside now. removed a lot of dust. I think it's better now. but I'm thinking some heavy maintanence in the near future, maybe adding some memory and disk space at the same time.
Thanks for help guys

and while you're at it, get some dust filters as well.. they don't cost that much and keeps most of the dust out.
