LOUD PIEP and PC crach

[Drikus]

When I do heavy application sometimes my pc chraches and it produces a internal loud piep. Can somebody help me. I think it's the processor (too hot), but i'm not sure

Some M/Bs have an alarm. So check your fans to see that they are turning.

Give the wrong symptoms, get the wrong solutions.

It could be that your setting for "max CPU temp" in the bios is set too low (many can be set as low as 60C) and this can be safely exceeded so can be set a lttle higher at 65 or even 70C, I wouldn't go beyond that mind you.
Obviously you could have an underlying problem and need to improve your cooling, if you havn't got additional case cooling then a couple of extra 80mm case fans sounds like a must and the improved air flow can take temps down as much as 15C (10C typically) also uprating your CPU/Heatsink cooler can improve things substantially.
Before you go spending money check the obvious, make sure the CPU fan is spinning freely and the heatsink is unblocked and clean.
Also check the position of the PC, stand it on a hard surface, not on carpet (sometimes the front air intake can be blocked by carpet)
