PC freezing Completely

roberthurley14

Hi, Well its Xmas which means my PC is being a d*ck ha basically its freezing completely evnt viewer is stating a kernel-power error which leads me to believe my PSU may be the perp, it freezes when viewing flash content and my graphics card made a beep noise then a pause then a beep noise again in a loop, is it a power issue? i have a 730W PSU and a power hungry pc due to GTX295

This is what event viewer says:

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Take it in out of the cold.
It should thaw out in a while.
They really arent designed for the cold.

That would be funny if it were not wrong They love the cold.

Does the beep noise ever stop?

It could be a beep code. Listen for a pattern (ie short long long)

Are you sure the beep noise is coming from the Graphics card?

the beep only happened one of the times this happened, the pattern was beep for 2secs *pause *beep for 2 secs in a loop,

yeh it was coming from my GPU, im on the pc right now its odd it works fine atm...

Look up your motherboard or your oem model troubleshooting manual. The beeps are usually codes telling you what is wrong.

If your pc is steadily declining i'd be worried. I'd consider video and audio driver updates. Disable any software recently installed through device manager.

If that fails try a window repair from the cd and failing that a restore point.

If you have a live cd with something like ubuntu i'd try that real quick with some of the issues that have been crashing your pc. It'll rule out hardware issues nice and fast.

Are you overclocking your box?
