My computer freezes while im playing a game and then beeps. It says frozen until I have to hard restart the pc. Im not sure what my gpu temp was at the time but it usually stays around 60-77 while gaming and 55-65 idling.

I'd probably just back up all your files...then rebuild the PC to vanilla OS, get all the windows updates, get the latest drivers for GPU and Chipset and also get the latest BIOS update. Then one by one, put your apps back on and use a good couple of programms to protect your PC, I use bullguard and malware bytes that seem to work well for me and neither slow my machine down. Also check the device manager for any warning, and the standard windows event logs.

Other things to be aware of...is if you have an Intel Multi Core CPU, some of the cores may be parked....google it, there are utilities you can get to check the registry and if parked, unpark them.

Check all the ram cards and other bits and bobs are all seated properly too....and...

1 long beep = It's a system memory problem
Try removing the memory sticks of your computer and placing them back.
If that doesn't work, try swapping the location of the memory.

1 long and 3 short beeps = It's a GPU problem
Try removing the graphic card and connecting it back again. Also make sure all fans are running in the computer, especially the heat sink fan for the CPU!

If still beeping after all this....then it will be a hardware fault....
