Plz help
A month ago i reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled drivers and everything was going great until i tried to play a game. My computer froze and there was a sound loop. I tried to watch a movie and the same thing happened. I sometimes get a motherboard beep instead of a sound loop, but sound loop is a lot more common.
installed latest video drivers
installed all windows updates
Ran memtest for 5 hours. No errors
Ran prime 95 and no errors
Ran hard drive diagnostic tool: only did a quick scan for now but no errors.
I ran ATI tool to test my vid card, but i have invidia, a friend told me that it doesn't matter.

Tell me what else you need in terms of information, i know the computer has its weaknesses especially in the video card department, but it worked well for over a year. Also it cant be a cooling problem. I have attached a huge fan to the side of my computer almost as soon as i got it. Running prime95 never got my CPU over 65C
I consider my self a rookie so plz no advanced jargon and good explanations
Thanks in advance
