    And your point is?

    Yes, this forum is based around free MMORPGs, but is it the only thing we discuss?

    To be exact, the is posting in the wrong section, not the wrong forum.

    Coooooool. >_>
    It might be overheating. Computers dont just die, they die when they've got a problem. If you dont want to mess anything up, let it be checked in a computer shop or something, or try it yourself if you know what youre doing. If you have never opened the case, do so and remove all the dust around the fans and stuff so the air can flow better, that might already fix it. And if you think its a software based problem, just do a virus check and see if you come up with anything..

    I know this is the wrong forum, but I dunno, just wanted to post it. On the off chance that someone might know if it's dying, or if it's something I can fix.

    I think it's just your rig being dirty, open it up and clean it full

    actually computers start to "die" as soon as you turn it on for the first time, you just don't notice it.

    Well what do you mean by "die"? The only thing that would come into my mind are HDDs.. They tend to "die" overtime..
    But the other typical "deaths" I've experienced happened due to overheating or overclocking etc.. wrong usage..

    Maybe the squeaks are from a mouse in your computer and the beeps are it swearing at you while being censored.

    You should pull your computer apart. Put them in a box, and mail it to (insert address here).
