Hello Everyone
I remember i had this problem since the day i bulit my PC back in 2012, and the first game that causes it to happen was Farcry 3 till then i didn't experience anymore problems with other games so i thought it was a problem that existed on the game itself. But i was wrong now it's 2014 and i am still getting it Yeah it looks like it's getting even worse
This always happens whenever i game for about 20 minutes or so, My PC will automatically be frozen and there will be a annoying static sound coming out from the speakers lasting for awhile, And i couldn't exit to desktop as my PC was frozen. The only way to exit it is to manually press the restart button so my PC will restart itself.....BUT!!
When it started to boot itself, there's no display and my motherboard is giving me 4 short beeps and once the beeps are over it loops repeating the whole 4 beeps again and again. The only way close it is to turn off my power socket. But turning on my PC again gives the same problem the 4 short beeps, But the good news is i found a way to fix it! The only way to fix it is that I have to wait for 10minutes or more before turning on my PC again and then it will successfully boot into Windows 7.
I have already searched the net for weeks now and all i found was system timer failure, possibly could be graphics card, RAM or motherboard is dying.
I read some similiar problem threads here, and i found out that there's a higher chance of either RAM or Asrock branded Motherboard is causing these issues.

The things i have done are
Reseated everything, and unplugging all the cables and reinsert them back. Sadly the problem still exist for me
Reformat and reinstalling Windows 7 and still happens
It looks like the problem on exist when i was gaming, Tested idling for 10 hours no freezes or anything. it's all running well. It might happen only on graphics intensively games.
It happen on these games i have played in order
1. Farcry 3
2. Divinity Original Sin
3. Dead Island
4. Skyrim
5. Wasteland 2
6 Borderlands Pre Sequel
I'm currently using the latest AMD driver 14.9, I already tested using older drivers and it still happens :/ to me
My temperatures are always 65c during gaming never hits 70c unless it's summer in the afternoon
Here are my specs i didn't overclock any of my components they are all running at stock
CPU Intel i5 3470 3.20GHz
Graphics Card Sapphire HD 7850 2GB
RAM 2x 4GB RAM Dual Channel 1333 GSkill
Motherboard Asrock Z77 PRO3
