I have no idea what's going on... Here's what I have.
EVGA video card - nvidia chipset 6800gt
Asus MB - IS7
Intel P4 3.2 Prescott
Gigabyte CPU fan GH-PCU21-VG
500w power supply
Antec case
No overclocking, everything is at default settings.
Everything is new... I built everything up about a month ago.
Under load (i guess) while I'm gaming (HL2 & BF2) my PC will start beeping then eventually shut down. When idle, everything is fine. I realized that it's overheating. I added two additional case fans (4 total now) and the new gigabyte CPU fan. But the overheating problem still exists. I didn't want to spend the money on liquid cooling but if that's the only option I have, then I gues I have to. Does anyone have suggestions or even guesses at what is going on with my system?
