Hi,

This has happened twice both times while playing FF14. Screen stayed however it was while playing and then the high pitched sound started and the only way out was to hard reset through the case.

This is a new build; 1 month old. No issues since building; no signs of hard drive failure or anything else and i've been using it heavily. Any ideas? There were no crash logs either.
